Fly to the Stars and Back

Tek hums happily as messes around the many screens. “Completion amount of documents?”

“Seventy-five percent complete.” Eve said as many documents pass by her screen still in her robot body as Twilight was still setting up the magic in the testing lab.

“You ready to spike the ships?” Tek asks.

Eve stops the documents and moves to another screen. “Yes, let us implement the ships with the virus near the edge near the next mission your parental figure is going to.”

“He is already leaving on it. You are behind schedule.” Tek says.

Eve frowns as Tek smiles at the expressions she can make. “Correcting.” She said as a screen came up of the ship's before they see red alert lights coming from the ship windows. “Activating virus.”

“Hold on. They are fielding a two new frigates for this. Eve, help me hack them. You take one. I’ll take the other. Let's get a look at these Imperial II-class frigates.” Tek says reading the name.

Eve nods as she keeps reworking the placement of the camera and holding the virus. “Ready.”

“Looks like they kept basically the same design, just smaller in scale, interesting.” Tek says.

Eve makes a humming noise. “Scanning ship. Processing and recording files and cross referencing to databases.”

“Huh, that is how they plan to get away with this. They have pirate ships to attack and they will feign chasing said pirates with the fleet and while the navy of the turians are distracted, they will let the inquisitors go in and complete their mission while sending two companies to go in and feign answering a distress call the inquisitors send. That is our window. We will jack the ships and make them fire on the turians and they will board to stop them. The empire will disavow them and the council will accept it for now.” Tek says.

Eve nods as she goes through schematics for the ships and still the virus window was ready to activate.

“You got everything, even the commander of the fleet’s voice print?” Tek asks.

Eve nods as the files runs by his screen.

“Give it to me. I got icing for this cake.” Tek says smirking.

The files began transferring to him as Eve kept staring at her screen.

Soon the image of the commander appears on Tek’s screen. “Turian scum, we are here to reclaim rightful imperial territory. Leave at once or we shall destroy you all.” The image said as it played.

Eve looks back to him as Tek snickers at the recording. “Very authentic. I was nearly fooled.” Eve says.

Tek smiles. “I know. I'm awesome.”

Arcane kept frowning as he looks down to the ship’s floor as it exited hyperspace. “Okay…what's the problem now?” Blitz asks sharpening his dagger.

Arcane sighs. “Now it's the whole marefriend thing.”

Blitz remained quiet before finally asking. “You overheard her, didn’t you?” Blitz asks.

Arcane stops for a bit before looking at him. “Why is Auntie Terra supposed to be a choice for me?”

“I don’t know. She refuses to say. All she says it is all some sort of prophecy.” Blitz says.

Arcane frowns. “A prophecy? I'm part of a legend?”

“You know how much stock me and Twi put into prophecies?” Blitz asks.

Arcane blanches at him. “You have to be kidding me. You and mom are buying that?”

“Oh heck no. Nowadays, we don’t even pay attention to them.” Blitz says.

Arcane didn't look amused. “So what about my end?”

“She won’t share.” Blitz says.

Arcane groans. “My life became more complicated, didn't it?”

“That is life. Nothing is ever simple. I can say that from experience.” Blitz says.

Arcane shakes his head. “Life sucks. Can we stop at a restaurant for a bit? I need to be drowned.”

“Sorry. One, a mission and the inquisitors won’t wait, but I got you a present.” Blitz says.

Arcane blinks. “Present?”

Blitz smiles before bringing out what looked like a modified M-99 Saber.

“What the…?” Arcane asks taking it and looking it over.

“You asked for one remember?” Blitz asks.

Arcane smiles. “Thanks dad.” He said before looking through the scope. “This isn't my Heart’s Warming or birthday present, right?”

“No, that M-102 Sabre is just a gift.” Blitz says making Arcane’s eyes widen.

“The M-102…102…dad, that's…” Arcane tries to say.

“One of the first made.” Blitz says.

Arcane blinks. “First…”

“Yes and it’s yours son. Now get ready we are about there.” Blitz says patting his shoulder.

Arcane nods as he keeps looking it over.

“And score some kills with it, but remember that thing can pierce armor plating. It can shoot through normal tank armor.” Blitz says.

Arcane hums in agreement as he keeps almost test firing it without firing.

“Though the model has a smaller clip than the 99 so you may want to get an extended clip mod for it.” Blitz says.

“Uh huh. Yeah, sure.” Arcane said lost in the gun.

“Also remember, civilians will be in the area so don’t fire wildly.” Blitz says.

Arcane stops and looks a bit embarrassed. “Sorry.”

“As long as you know. Now where do you want to be, with the mandalorians who will be firing from above or with the sith who will engage the inquisitors?” Blitz asks.

Arcane smiles. “This is made for marksmen. Gotta go high.”

“Then you will be amongst the first to get kills. Prioritize the troopers that come to help. Me and Ahsoka will distract the inquisitors and draw the stormtroopers to us and into the trap we have prepared. Both groups will reveal themselves when I snap my fingers.” Blitz instructs.

Arcane nods. “Okay, so…where's the…?”

Blitz smiles and brings up the map of the area. “Here.” He said as a courtyard area came up with three buildings flanking each side. “You have to be in one of the buildings. Try not the roof. And…watch some of the areas. Some of it is heavily irradiated after the plant nearby got a meltdown. Idiots want to save money and instead they got more medical bills.”

“Oh, I bet the hierarchy had a field day with those responsible.” A mandalorian says.

“You don’t know the half of it.” A turian in sith armor says.

Arcane raises an eyebrow. “Shall we?”

“The turians will get you into the building with their men. The sith will remain in the space port until time to show themselves.” Blitz says going to the airlock.

Arcane nods. “Good luck dad.”

“Keep score.” Blitz says smirking as he boarded the dropship where Ahsoka was.

Arcane gives a wave to Ahsoka as she waves back. “Good luck son.” She teasingly said.

“You won’t have the children.” Kanan says out of breath looking at the sixteen inquisitors as he, Ezra, and Zeb were also out of breath standing between the babies and children and the inquisitors.

Arcane shakes his head as he walks through the halls and looks out the window at the interaction. “Set up here.” He said pointing to a room. “And here.” He said opening another door. “And this hallway for the stairs and windows.” He said ducking under the walls before opening another door. “And her…” he stops as he sees something in bed and goes wide eyed at the corpse like doe just sitting on a mattress on the ground dead. “Not this one.” He said looking sadly at it and closes the door before quickly opening the next door and rushes up to the windows. “And here.” He said setting up his gun.

“I’m not in the mood for any more games.” An inquisitor says before force pushing all three of them into the door to the spaceport.

Arcane frowns as he aims carefully. “Hold.”

The three rebels try to get up when the doors to the spaceport opened and out stepped Ahsoka and Blitz in full armor. Ahsoka, seeing them, used the force to pull the lightsabers into her hands and ignited both white blades in reverse grip. Blitz, seeing this, pulled out his lightsaber and ignited the black blade.

Arcane frowns as he sees some of the soldiers lean out. “Hold. He will give a signal. He wants to lure all the enemy to one place then destroy them so they can’t barricade themselves or take hostages.” He warns.

“Unexpected, but not unwelcome. Lord Vader will be please by the capture of both Ahsoka Tano and Southern Cross.” One of the female inquisitors says.

“You want us? Come and get us.” Ahsoka challenged.

“Rebel, best you back up with the children. Those who wish to take these children come at me. You shall not touch them while I still draw breath.” Blitz challenged unleashing his presence through the force to intimidate them at bit.

The inquisitors back up a bit as they take out their weapons and ready themselves.

“Sixteen of them against just us.” Ahsoka says.

“I know. They are completely outclassed.” Blitz insults.

“Hey! We are good enough to beat you!” One inquisitor said.

“Really? Then why did I kill the fifth brother and seventh sister so easily?” Blitz asks smirking under his helmet.

Ahsoka looks to him and fakes surprise. “Really? That far down the line? What about the four other brothers and six sisters?”

“I guess they were all pathetic incompetent cowards.” Blitz says mockingly.

The inquisitors all frown and gets into their stances now.

“Oh look, they want to play pretend.” Blitz insults.

Ahsoka shakes her head. “Seriously, just like the foals on the wooden sticks.”

“Let’s show them how outmatched they are.” Blitz says starting forward at a leisurely pace.

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow as she follows as the inquisitors back up. “Really? You want to teach them? I don't think these guys are good enough for the dunce hat.”

“What do you expect? Everything is second rate in the empire so the emperor won’t feel threatened.” Blitz says.

Ahsoka laughs. “Really? Even you are not stupid enough to do that to protect your empire.”

“Oh, so you won’t come to us huh?” Blitz says stopping before using the force to pull one of the inquisitors to him and impales him on his lightsaber.

Ahsoka points to the body. “He didn't even react.”

“Hum, like an inquisitor to merely play at being a sith. Oh well, fifteen more to go.” Blitz says pulling his lightsaber out of the corpse and use the force to claim the inquisitor’s lightsaber.

Ahsoka hums. “May I try my own trick?”

“Go ahead. I will wait.” Blitz says deactivating his lightsaber.

Ahsoka smiles as she steps forward and everyone starts backing up before Ahsoka uses the force and pulls four to her and just holds up the lightsabers and slices off three as the fourth had the mindset to block, but Ahsoka quickly stabs him. “Four down.” She calls pushing the corpse.

Blitz starts clapping as they continued to stall as much as they could be waiting for the stormtroopers to spring their trap.

Ahsoka bows to him. “Thank you. I'll be here all day. Please tip your waiter and don't be cheap.”

Blitz smirks as he sees one let out a battle cry and charges Ahsoka and engages her in one on one combat. “Oh we actually have someone with backbone. What a pleasant change.” Blitz says.

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow as she blocks each strike. “Uneven and easy to trip.” She said before pushing him and sends him on the ground.

“Still better than the last seven.” Blitz mocks as the inquisitor gets back up trying to overpower Ahsoka.

Ahsoka laughs. “Look at him. He's trying.” She said pointing to as she holds him with one blade.

“Only thing that would complete this is if their little toy soldiers showed up.” Blitz mocks.

Ahsoka hums. “You think they can take our own sabers that well?”

“No, wouldn’t change anything. It would just be adorable that they try.” Blitz insults.

Ahsoka grins. “You think they make plushies of them? I think the young ones would love beating them up with a stick.”

“Nah, give them a somewhat decent challenge.” Blitz jokes as Ahsoka deactivates her lightsabers and goes on one knee in a kneeling position.

An inquisitor sees this and charges at her before Ahsoka grabs the hilt to the inquisitor’s shock and forces it to turn off, surprising them all before pulling it away and force pushes him the nearby pillar. “Literally too easy.”

The inquisitor looks up to her and laughs as five armored transports and stormtroopers run up. “Now you are the ones beaten.” He says.

Blitz, hearing this, starts to chuckle and then laugh.

Ahsoka feigns shock and fear with a very bad performance. “Oh no, they got a hundred blasters pointed at us. The great Southern Cross and Ahsoka Tano. What are we going to do?” She dramatizes before giving them a blank stare. “I mean seriously, what are you going to do?” She asks them without feigning.

“What’s so funny?!” An inquisitor yells.

Blitz then stops and turns serious. “You foals. You are so used to having the home field advantage, you don’t even consider it. I will remind you, this is alliance territory and we will show you what we do to monsters who kidnap children.” Blitz says before snapping his fingers and the spaceport’s doors open and to all the imperials who recognized him and Kanan, Grievous walked out.

Grievous groans as he seems to be talking to someone. “Look, I don't have time right now. We'll send the exams to the testing machine. I have some work to do right now.” He said before hanging up. “Sorry, school problems.” He said as keeps walking up. “Speaking of which, students it is time for real life experience.” Grievous says and out came many wearing Sith warrior armor and a few jedi.

Blitz shrugs. “It's fine. As long as they get a real test rather than words. Now you see. This was a trap. We knew you were coming way before you arrived.” Blitz says before the Mandalorian and Turian soldiers showed themselves. “Attack!” Blitz orders and the mandalorians and turian soldiers open fire and those with lightsabers charged, Grievous included, taking out his signature four lightsabers.

Ahsoka sighs. “Now can you call them?”

“Waiting for the stormtroopers so we wouldn’t have to hunt them down and get them all at once.” Blitz says reignited his lightsaber before force choking a stormtrooper with a rocket launcher before snapping his neck.

Ahsoka hisses as the lasers start firing in response to the bullets. “Should we bother?”

“Show your kids how it is done.” Blitz says.

Ahsoka smiles and runs off into the fray with her children as Blitz smiles as an inquisitor bares his lightsaber to him. Blitz casts a sideways glance before shocking him with force lightning. He then stops a few moments later and then the inquisitor was impaled from behind through the chest by Mystic.

“Good form son.” Blitz says.

Mystic smiles and salutes before running off for more.

“The teams are holding up well.” Blitz says walking up to Grievous who just stabbed an imperial officer.

Grievous huffs. “Not even as tough as jedis.”

“It confirms our suspicions for you?” Blitz asks serious before stabbing the stormtrooper that was trapped under Grievous’ foot.

Grievous growls. “Yes.”

Blitz watch as many of the students were working in teams of three to five to take on an inquisitor. The inquisitor was hard pressed to face them. “Tell me Grievous, what was it count Dooku once said. To defeat the best of the Jedi, you must have fear, surprise, and intimidation on your side. General, what do you think?” Blitz asks.

Grievous groans. “They are just two out of three right now. Surprise is gone.”

“The initial surprise still is in effect. They have yet to realize to use their transports blasters…speaking of which. Instructors. The transports.” Blitz orders and the jedi realized what he was getting at and immediately leapt into action.

Grievous sighs in relief as he watches them blow up. “Nice to see a fiery explosion after so long.”

“Just a little longer General and you will be on the frontlines once more.” Blitz says as with the last of the transports, the stormtroopers started to panic.

Grievous huffs. “Good.”

“And this time you will lead an army of your own people and capable warriors and droids who are not as worthless as the old models thanks to the techno union remnants we recruited in secret.” Blitz says.

Grievous chuckles. “Good and it's good to be back.”

“I see you have already added a new one to your collection.” Blitz says.

Grievous looks over the new saber. “Eh, not my style. But good to show off.”

“Another for the collection.” Blitz says showing him his.

Grievous laughs. “Now you are becoming me.”

“No, the wife said she wanted souvenirs.” Blitz says smirking.

Grievous shakes his head. “Your family is crazier than me.”

“Yeah well, what can you do?” Blitz says as the imperials started to dwindle quickly.

Rael hums walking. “I need food after this.” He said casually as Grievous stabs an inquisitor coming at him from behind and makes him stops before pulling out his saber.

Blitz smirks. “There's this pretty neat diner in the nearby city. Really old school, but the food is amazing.”

Arcane frowns as he puts his gun down for a bit. “I want to try a diner.” He said more to himself hearing this chatter.

“We done here? That all of them?” Blitz asks seeing a few Stormtroopers disarmed and surrendered.

Rael nods. “Yes, just need to finish off the equipment.”

“Very well weapon master, see to it and join me and my son at the diner afterwards.” Blitz says.

Rael smiles. “Can’t wait to try it.”

“Son.” Blitz calls to Arcane.

Arcane sighs as he gets up and heads out. “Yeah?” He asks.

“Let's go get some food.” Blitz says.

Arcane smiles as he puts away his gun and knocks a stormtrooper on his head and knocks him out. “Finally. Some good space food.”

“But we ain’t at spacy’s.” Rael says.

Blitz chuckles. “Well, maybe we can try something new or rather old in this case. Besides, I kinda like malt food.”

“Mind if we four join in?” Ahsoka asks with Mystic, Ralyn, and Nemna.

Blitz smiles. “Sure. The more the merrier. Come on guys.” He said walking away.

The three follow happily having won a battle and get to spend time with their father.

Ahsoka smiles as she steps up to him. “So…finally able to really spend time together huh?”

“One last thing. Tek, how is the ships?” Blitz asks over an earpiece. “Uh huh. Uh huh. Uh huh. So the general agreed to have them if he gets one of the frigates then.” Blitz says smiling.

Arcane leans in. “Does that mean we get a new ship?”

Blitz holds up a hand with two fingers sticking up.

Arcane grins. “Cool.”

“You did what now?” Blitz asks.

They all look to him as Blitz seemed to be contemplating something.

“Execute the commander and his bridge staff saying they resisted to the end. That way no one can deny the story.” Blitz says.

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow. “The only thing that a computer has to think about.”

“That is all. Take a break soon and get some rest.” Blitz says.

Arcane smiles. “So little bro has taken a few more ships huh?”

“He and Eve hacked and shut them down during our little fight with the imperials. He then made a fake recording of the commander of the small fleet up there that basically said we are here to conquer your territory so get out and had the ship fire a few shot and the turians were ‘forced’ to board the ships to stop them.” Blitz says.

Arcane chuckles. “I excepted as much from little bro. He was a prankster.”

Blitz laughs. “Yeah and still is. Now then, I’m hankering for some classic fries. Maybe some chili on them.”

Arcane raises an eyebrow. “Isn’t that meat?”

Blitz smirks. “I can be human too son. You’ll love it so might as well become human as well.”

Arcane sighs as he shakes his head. “Oh boy.”

Ahsoka chuckles. “Why do I have a feeling those at the diner are going to have trouble serving us?”

Rael raises an eyebrow. “I don’t think that is a feeling.”

“We’re back and we got doggy bags.” Blitz calls as Arcane carries a box of cartons and bags.

Rarity smiles as she looks up from her drawings on the table and couch. “Blitz. So good to see you back again.” She said as her mane and tail got a lot more stylized.

Blitz smirks and walks over and kisses her. “So…want to eat?” He asks after separating.

Rarity nods. “I would love to with you.”

Blitz chuckles. “Alright.” He said before stopping. “Where's Terran? He usually comes barreling at me.”

Rarity sighs. “He's gone with Fleetfoot. Said they had to visit somepony.”

Blitz smiles sadly. “Arcane, take the food to the dining room. I'll join in a bit. And it is for everyone.” He said walking away.

Arcane looked embarrassed. “Dad.” He said walking to the dining hall.

“Oh, wait up. I really want to try such an old style gourmet.” Rarity said packing her things and following.

“That was…that was…” A young Fleetfoot said breathless as she laid on the ground next to a Timberwolf.

The Timberwolf growls and licks her cheek as it wraps a leg around her and pulls her close.

Young Fleetfoot giggles and rests up against him. “I think I…I love you.” She said kissing his wooden shoulder.

The Timberwolf just looks down at her as he tries to cover her up as best he could.

Fleetfoot sniffs as she remembers that moment and keeps looking to the grave at the new rebuilt town. “I miss him.”

Terran growls concerned and nuzzles her side.

Fleetfoot sniffs and pats his head. “Thanks for being here.” She said smiling a bit.

Terran pants happily and keeps nuzzling her.

Fleetfoot giggles a bit before feeling a wing wrap around her and looks to see Blitz right by her and smiling. “I'm sure he missed you too.” He said smiling.

Fleetfoot sniffs and wipes her face with a hoof. “I just hope I can see him again. Say goodbye maybe.” She said trying to keep smiling.

Blitz smiles and nuzzles her. “It's okay. Wherever he is, I’m sure he's proud of you and I think Terran would like to meet him too, right?” He asks looking over.

Terran whines and nods before panting and nuzzling her side.

Fleetfoot sniffs and hugs them both. “I love you guys. So much.” She said holding them close.

Blitz chuckles and hugs her back. “Love you too Fleet. Now then…” He stops and looks back to the slightly futuristic town where there was many species of the planet and space were walking around. “Let's see your home and get you some rest.”

Fleetfoot nods and gets pulled along with him. “I love you guys.” She said making sure she was still holding onto them.

Blitz smiles and nuzzles her mane. “We know. Now let us enjoy some time together here.” He said opening the door of Fleetfoot’s rebuilt home. Fleetfoot smiles as she sees the pristine state of her home. “Welcome home.” He said pulling her inside.

“Hey Jax? What do we do with a missing ID again?” An agent at the front desk asks.

Jax, the turian security guard, leans around the corner and sees a scientist fumbling with her hands like the Quarians do. “Fingerprint, eye scan, the works and if it checks out, give her a new one.”

“Right.” The agent says working on making sure the scientist was who she said she was.

“Didja hear about what the quarians asked us to help them with?” Jax asks.

The agent shakes his head. “Man, I'm here most of the time. I don't hear gossip like that. So what is it?”

“Apparently someone attacked their colony and later the same people or someone else vaporized it. I hear all that was left was a crater.” Jax says.

The agent raises an eyebrow. “Oh? And what are they asking us for?”

“They want multiple people checking the data to determine anything.” Jax says.

The agent groans. “I'll see what I can do after this.” He said before checking the last few data entries. “Alright, checks out.” He said making another ID card. “Here. Don't lose this one.” He said giving it to her.

The scientist nods and rushes inside before the main lobby door opens. “Welcome to the Xerox Station. How can I help you?” The agent asks looking over the information without looking up.

“Yeah, where's the locked levels?” The person asks.

The agent chuckles. “Very funny man. Very funny. Now what are you…” He stops as he looks up and sees a cloaked person standing and can't even see the face.

The cloaked person tilts the head. “I see you are looking up the base being destroyed. Surprise, you found your culprit.” The person said before taking out an aged old weapon that the agent recognized as a fifty caliber pistol before he gets knocked backed from the shot and rolls away with a hole in his head.

“Hey!” Jax yelled as he rushes around the corner with a rifle and tries to fire before being shot in the shoulder and looks to see another cloaked person with a smaller pistol and still old gun right next to the first before being shot in the head.

“Get the doors open. We got to get this done fast.” The first said before looking to a camera in the corner of the ceiling and chuckles before shooting it as well.

“And that's that. They took out every single camera from there on in.” Tek said showing the footage to Blitz.

“I see. The turians get this?” Blitz asks.

Tek nods. “Yep and boy are they furious.”

“I bet those who did this are not happy we know about them now and every attempt to cover it up is making them more known.” Blitz says.

Tek raises an eyebrow. “Did you see how that one reacted? He put on a show before shooting the camera. I think they want to be known.”

“You are right. They want to draw attention away from the attack on the settlement and onto them.” Blitz says.

Tek hums. “Such a weird way to draw attention somewhere.”

“They obviously didn’t expect anyone to stumble onto their erasing. I bet they pulled this one out of nowhere at the last moment.” Blitz says.

Tek sighs. “So what do we do?”

“We are the only others who got the data so guess who will be targeted next.” Blitz says.

Tek raises an eyebrow. “Us?”

“Exactly and we will prepare.” Blitz says.

Tek looks a bit confused. “How? They attacked a random station. That seems a bit random.”

“No, they knew exactly where the data was.” Blitz says.

Tek blinks. “Those researching it.” He realized.

“Exactly.” Blitz says as Minerva walks in.

“I was wondering where you were. Come on. It's time to have a few updates.” Minerva said moving over to Tek.

“Mom.” Tek says as Blitz smiles and hugs her.

Minerva chuckles and leans into the hug. “What's that for?”

“I thought you could use a hug. As from looking down here, the foal is hungrily nursing off you.” Blitz says.

Minerva smiles and looks down to the bundle she is carrying. “Yeah, hungry like you at dinner.” She said smirking.

“How is he?” Blitz asks.

Minerva sighs. “Wanting to know more. Just like Tek at this age.”

“You made sure to seal the systems so we don’t have a repeat right?” Blitz asks.

Minerva nods. “Can't let them go back down into the extranet again. Thank goodness something came out of it and I have a pseudo daughter.”

“With your other daughter.” Blitz says.

Minerva giggles. “Yes, my whole line of kids, ready to help out with tech things. Heck, my birth daughter wants to be like you.”

“Define like me.” Blitz says.

Minerva shrugs. “Oh, dressing like you back then. Trying out your skills. She did watch the videos of you fighting too.”

“The video with the bolt that bounced off several things before it hit that bounty in the back?” Blitz asks.

Minerva smiles. “The one and the same.”

“You still can’t believe I shot him in the back.” Blitz says smirking as Tek pulls up the file.

Tek hums. “It says here you also bounced off a metal head of someone sipping tea…and he didn't even react.”

“Only quip I can think of would be too cheesy.” Blitz says.

Tek points to the screen. “It says here he didn't know whether to take the cheese or ignore it after the battle.”

“Ah, that is cute.” Minerva says.

Tek looks up to her confused. “What?”

“You making quips.” Minerva says holding her son.

Tek tried to push her away. “Mom.” He whines.

“Ah, what is the matter?” Minerva asks nuzzling him.

Tek keeps trying to push her away. “Mom, that's not cool.”

Blitz smiles walking away as Minerva kisses her son’s cheek.

Tek yells out as he keeps trying to get away.

“Kanan, are you sure about this?” Ezra asks touching down on the planet.

Kanan nods. “Yeah. We have to talk to these guys or we could be bogged down.”

“You also want to see the jedi who survived huh?” Ezra asks.

Kanan chuckles and nods. “Yeah, want to really see who survived this long.”

“Kanan.” Ahsoka calls as they all walked out.

Kanan grins and follows her. “Coming.”

“I see you accepted the invitation to join us here.” Ahsoka says as all but Kanan stare at the ponies that were passing them by.

Kanan blinks at the sight of the ponies smiling and waving. “Um…?”

“Meet the natives. Around thirty years ago, they didn’t even know about life beyond their planet.” Ahsoka says before signally them to wave back.

Ezra and Kanan try to wave back as the ponies shrug at the newcomers and just go on their merry way.

“So three different types. The earth ponies are just like regular quadrupedal creatures they tend to be stronger than other two types. The unicorns have horns coming out of their foreheads and can use some sort of power like the force, but it isn’t. Then there is the pegasus, the ones with wings and usually smaller than the rest.” Ahsoka says.

“Don't tempt me.” A passing pegasus said gliding by.

“Watch it Glider.” Ahsoka says before turning back to the group.

They were just standing dumbfounded.

“Now shall we go to where you wish to go?” Ahsoka asks.

They still stare surprised at everything.

“Come on, the speeder is waiting.” Ahsoka says.

They tried to follow as some of the ponies were getting a bit confused at the staring.

As the speeder took off, the rebels saw that the two togruta from the fight with the imperial forces were riding with them. “Ok, let me introduce you. These are my children, Ralyn and Nemna.” Ahsoka says.

Both of the togruta smiles and wave. “Hi.” They both said.

“Kids?” Kanan asks.

“Yeah, I am married as well.” Ahsoka says.

“Married?” Almost all of them asks.

Ahsoka nods. “Yep. Really loved the guy.”

“Daddy’s the best.” Ralyn cheered.

Ahsoka laughs. “And where's daddy now?”

“Over at home. He's helping mommy Twilight with some papers.” Nemna said.

“I see so…Ralyn you can ease off the throttle a bit.” Ahsoka says.

Ralyn chuckles and looks embarrassed. “Sorry.” He said letting up.

Ahsoka pats his back. “It's okay. Now then, what the heck did we miss since the diner?”

Nemna hums. “Well, we had a big takeout dinner. Don't worry, we have a lot leftover. And then there's…”

“Sister.” Ralyn said sharply to her.

“What?” Nemna asks smiling.

Ralyn frowns. “Daddy said not to tell.”

“Ah, ok.” Nemna says.

“So does this mean you won’t come back to the order?” Kanan asks.

Ahsoka sighs. “I knew this question was going to be asked. Well…it's complicated really.”

“But, would you?” Kanan asks.

“Truth be told; the order is all but gone. It would need to be reformed and that means reevaluating all our rules and teachings.” Ahsoka says.

Kanan raises an eyebrow. “And if it does come back?”

“Then…maybe if a few rules are changed. For now, it is a long way off. Besides, I am training my kids.” Ahsoka says.

“Got that right.” The two say together.

“Besides, these two are my joy.” Ahsoka says hugging them.

Nemna smirks. “So we aren't your pride?”

“No, pride is not as important.” Ahsoka says.

“Mom.” They said.

“Remember what your father taught you. Pride before the fall.” Ahsoka says.

Nemna waves her off. “Nah.”

“Do I have to tell your father young lady?” Ahsoka asks making her pail a bit.

“No.” She squeaks.

“Good girl.” Ahsoka says smiling.

Nemna breathes a sigh of relief.

“Mom, we are here at the underground city entrance.” Ralyn says.

Ahsoka sighs. “Alright. Now be prepared for any surprises.” She said to the others.

“Underground?” Ezra asks.

“Best way to hide them so the empire’s probes cannot find them. Let me tell you, they kept sending them for years.” Ahsoka says.

“And shot out of the sky every time. Or what Ridley kept saying.” A woman wearing a blue bodysuit said passing by with some boxes. “Hi there. Are you new jedis and/or students?”

“Hi Samus. Still not finding anything on the job list?” Ahsoka asks.

“Nope. The contracts are pretty low considering these guys take it all.” Samus said pointing to the school.

“There is still the offering for a job in the mandalorian clan.” Ahsoka says.

Samus sighs. “And you know I can't. Considering.”

“The chief would accept you.” Ahsoka reminds.

Samus shakes her head. “I would rather live unaffiliated. Makes it easier to run.”

“You can’t run forever.” Ahsoka says.

Samus sighs. “Unfortunately. Still, it's better living. Plus, I don't have to be dragged in and can do it my own way without limitations.”

“So off to see Ridley before you head out?” Ahsoka asks.

Samus nods. “Yep. Just came to grab a few boxes. If you're looking for the master, he's down in his office.” She said before walking away.

“Master?” Ezra asks.

Ahsoka nods. “Yes, he's the one running this place.” She said heading inside. “Come on guys. Don't want to stay out.”

The group followed until they came to a small meditation chamber where a jedi was meditating with his hood up and back to the door.

“Master Koth, we have guests.” Ahsoka says.

Koth brings his head up and looks to the doorway. “Ah. Welcome younglings.”

“Master.” Kanan says recognizing not as Koth but as Eeth.

“Do I know…wait, you are Caleb Dume. You were the padawan of Depa Billaba.” Eeth says recognizing him.

Kanan blinks. “Huh. That is correct. Did any of the other masters make it?”

“We haven’t been able to find any others. Those we found were already dead.” Eeth says sounding sad.

Ahsoka groans as she rubs her head. “Dang it. So more even when I'm looking. There has to be more leads.”

Eeth perks up a bit. “Oh, a griffon said you would be coming by. Drop this off for you.” He said tossing a data chip to her.

“Aw, good lil Blazer.” Ahsoka says smiling and catching it.

“Blazer?” Ezra asks.

“Yeah, the griffon. If he sent this, then…master Kota might be dead.” Ahsoka says.

Eeth sighs. “Looks like it. Maybe we should set up a bigger memorial.”

“But master Shaak Ti is on Felucia.” Ahsoka says.

Eeth chuckles. “And I think she would hate it if we put her name up on the wall a bit too early.”

“Master.” Ahsoka says.

“Yes, I will go immediately.” Eeth says.

“But master, at least take backup…take my children.” Ahsoka says.

“Mom?” Ralyn asks confused.

“Are you sure?” Eeth asks.

“Yes, take them with you on this.” Ahsoka says.

“Um…mom?” Nemna asks.

“You two will protect him right?” Ahsoka asks.

They both sigh. “Sure.” They said.

“Also you two, time to stop procrastinating. It is time to complete your first hand made lightsabers.” Ahsoka says.

They both smile and grin at each other. “Alright, finally.” They both cheered.

“I will have the quartermaster supply the pieces for you to choose from and your crystals.” Ahsoka says.

They both hug each other as they jump around. “Yahoo!” They kept cheering.

“I hear children cheering and they are a part of my family!” Mary yells opening the door.

“Mary. It is good to see you.” Ahsoka says nervously.

Mary smirks. “Ah, the crazy ass jedi who would rather go in head first rather than think just like my son.” Ahsoka didn’t say anything and motioned her not to talk about such things in front of the six visitors looking at Mary now. Mary sighs and gives a wave and sweet smile. “Hello kids. I'm Mary. Bad ass fighter and strategist.” She said cheerfully.

“I will get out of your way. It is good to see you again Caleb and nice to meet your padawan Ezra.” Eeth says leaving with Ahsoka’s children.

Ahsoka smiles and waves to her children. “Bye guys. Have fun.”

“So how are we supposed to choose?” Ralyn asks.

“Sit and meditate. Let the force guide you.” Eeth says.

Nemna hums as she looks to the parts. “Hmmm…”

Ralyn looks to the master sitting on a pillow as he meditates. Ralyn looks from end to end before he sits in the middle of the room and starts meditating.

Nemna groans and sits by him. “Dang it.” She said meditating.

Ralyn breathes deeply with eyes closed before reaching out with the force and Eeth watches as parts start to shake and start to move from the table and containers.

Eeth smiles as he sees the parts start to form together. ‘Thank goodness your father has taught you the parts and how they go. I hate to blow this place up and pay for it like last time.’ Eeth thinks as a green crystal floats from the table of crystals and forms the center. Soon all the parts formed into one and the lightsaber floated to Ralyn.

Ralyn opened his eyes to grabs the lightsaber in front of him and ignites the blade away from him, revealing the green blade.

Nemna frowns as she tries to quicken her pace. ‘Dang it bro.’

“Do not rush sister. This isn’t a race.” Ralyn reminds deactivating his.

Nemna sighs and concentrates and before long, the same happened for her and when she ignited hers, her blade was yellow.

Eeth smiles. “Not bad. Now you have your own. Treat it like family.”

“Didn’t mom’s master lose or get his destroyed every other mission?” Ralyn jokes.

Nemna chuckles. “I think it's twice that.”

The two sibling share a laugh as Eeth facepalms as he recalls that.

“And that is the rep…” Darth Vader stops and looks to the side as the emperor waits.

“Something amiss?” The emperor asks gravelly.

“I feel as though someone is talking about me and it is close to home.” Vader says cryptically, actually confusing the emperor.

Blitz hums as he looks over the reports of the station. “Now it's no trace there. Who are these guys?”

“Hey hun.” Ahsoka says walking in.

Blitz smiles and slams the screen down. “Hey Ahsoka. Need something?”

“Well you know what happened to our kids?” Ahsoka asks walking up to him.

Blitz raises an eyebrow. “Is this about the jealous surge I felt when they were down in the parts room?”

“Well we have a report of master Shaak Ti and they are going with master Eeth to look for her on Felucia.” Ahsoka says sitting on his lap.

Blitz smiles as he leans back in his seat. “Oh, our kids going off on a mission without their parents or family member. What a nice start.”

“Yes and now, time for somepony to go to bed with me as I have waited my turn patiently.” Ahsoka says.

Blitz chuckles. “You going to tell me the order you girls have?”

“You wish we would.” Ahsoka says.

“It has been more than twenty years.” Blitz says.

Ahsoka smirks. “Yep, so…got a bed nearby?”

“Teleportation.” Blitz says smirking.

Ahsoka pokes his forehead. “Let's go.”

“So this is Felucia.” Ralyn says getting off the ship.

Nemna raises an eyebrow as she looks around. “Huh, really forest like. Eh, we have worse.”

“Remember what the wild life is like around here.” Ralyn says.

Nemna points to the sky. “Remember ours?”

“Yes, I do.” Ralyn says.

“Come on you two, time to go.” Eeth says.

They both sigh as they follow. “So where exactly is the master?” Nemna asks.

“We don’t know, but we know she is here.” Eeth says.

“So what does she look like?” Ralyn asks.

“Think your mother but a little older.” Eeth says.

They both look to each other a bit confused.

“She is of your species.” Eeth says getting an oh face from them.

“That makes sense. Since mom can be a pony at times.” Ralyn said.

“So where do we look?” Nemna asks.

“According to the info, there should be a village that a way.” Eeth says pointing in a direction.

Ralyn smiles and walks that way. “Let's go.”

“Be careful, the locals and the empire might not be friendly.” Eeth says.

Nemna smiles and follows him. “Please, they haven't seen us.”

“Yet.” Ralyn says looking at her.

“Oh one time.” Nemna says.

Eeth groans as he rubs his forehead. ‘Why did I get stuck here with them again?’

Ralyn grins. “You think we should mess with a small patrol if we see one?”

“Not unless they are stormtroopers.” Eeth says.

Nemna chuckles. “Maybe just leave a small trap. Like a tripwire.”

“You brought bombs?” Ralyn asks.

Nemna grins. “Nah, just a wire. A very strong wire.” She said holding up a roll.

Ralyn just stares at her.

Nemna looks a bit confused. “What? Big bro and sis helped out finding one for me. Big sis Sunshine said it's cool to trip up others sometimes.”

Ralyn looks to master Eeth.

Eeth shrugs. “I try to keep out of family.”

“Let's go and put that away.” Ralyn says.

Nemna pouts and puts it away. “Dang it.”

“Wait, you sense that?” Ralyn asks.

Nemna raises an eyebrow. “Sense what?” She asks trying to find it.

“I sense the dark side.” Ralyn says.

Both Eeth and Nemna both look to him worried before trying to sense it themselves. “It's close.” Nemna said.

Soon out of the foliage, come creatures with what looks like glowing blue lines on their skin. “Who are they?” Nemna asks.

“Locals and they are what is giving off the feeling.” Eeth says taking out his green lightsaber.

Nemna tilts her head. “These guys are giving off the dark side? Seriously?”

“Nemna, stop talking and start fighting.” Ralyn says igniting his green saber.

Nemna huffs and brings out her yellow saber. “Fine. Let's go.”

One of the local lets out a war cry and charges them. Ralyn seem to be the one it chose to attack and as it made a slice before Ralyn slashed upwards and took off the arm with the weapon attached to it.

Nemna frowns as she moves her body to the side and narrowly misses a strike from the staff like blade of her own attacker before slicing her saber and goes through the arm connecting to the blade and through the waist before it fell in half.

“So you have a staff huh?” Ralyn asks force pushing one of the creatures away.

Eeth raises an eyebrow at one as he keeps slicing through one. “They are tough. Almost like a tree.”

“I’m glad there is only a few.” Ralyn says before using force telekinesis to start shooting loose stones at another.

Nemna raises an eyebrow at another coming at her before using the force on the wire she had and starts manipulating it to make it move fast and slice through the next one.

“You alright master Eeth?” Ralyn asks.

Eeth chuckles. “You kidding, I needed to get out one day. It's bad being cooped up.”

“So these natives were corrupted by the dark side. Could the one we are looking for have gone to that side?” Ralyn asks.

Eeth hums. “Maybe. Maybe not. There are a few masters in history who have held out in dark areas.”

“Should we continue looking then?” Nemna asks.

Eeth nods. “Yes. We must save innocents and masters that are in need…only those that deserve it of course.” He quickly adds as he starts walking around a sliced body.

“Master Eeth, what should we expect?” Nemna asks.

Eeth looks around. “Wildlife. Creatures such as those we just faced. And maybe some sith searching for the same thing we are.”

“I thought that we dealt the empire’s inquisitors a blow after that last operation?” Ralyn asks.

Eeth looks to them. “When there are two or ten, there are bound to be more on the horizon.”

The two said nothing else as they continued onwards moving through the trees with the aid of the force before stopping spotting a military outpost.

Eeth looks closely and sees some stormtroopers in sight. “Well…this is one of the trouble we will obviously see.”

Ralyn takes out his macrobinoculars to get a better look. “It looks like they are on alert.”

“That's impossible. We haven't been to this area yet.” Nemna said.

“Remember what we encountered before? I bet they are no friends of the empire.” Eeth says.

Ralyn hums. “So what do we do now?”

“Try and bypass them. The less evidence, we leave the better.” Eeth says.

They both nod as they move through the tree line and try to stay out of sight. As the three moved along, Ralyn suddenly sensed something behind them and swung around and shoot force lightning at what he sensed.

A body suddenly flew out from behind the bushes and hits a tree before it got back up just as fast and they saw a man with cloth wrapped around his arms and waist while having a half of a cloak around his legs and carrying a blue saber in a reverse grip.

“You were right.” Ralyn says igniting his lightsaber like his sister.

Nemna frowns. “Who is this one?”

“I don’t know sis, but he is obviously not one of us.” Ralyn says.

Eeth frowns as he watches it all. “State your name and master.”

“Where is the senator?” The man asks.

They all frown at that. “Oh, you go to the next planet over and take a right into the volcanic lava pit and he's waiting inside.” Rylan said shrugging.

“Cute.” The man says before unleashing force lightning and Ralyn answered with his own.

The man goes wide eyed as he cuts the lightning. “More sith?” He said frowning as he readies his lightsaber.

“Same to you buddy.” Nemna says just itching to get the guy who attacked her little brother.

Eeth hums. “You seem to hate the sith, why?”

“Must be one of Vader or the emperor's puppets, maybe even cut loose.” Ralyn says.

The man growls under his breath at that.

“Oh, you hit a nerve little brother.” Nemna says as Eeth realizes they were trying to rile him up to make him sloppy.

Eeth sighs. ‘These are definitely the master’s children.’ Eeth thinks as the two children start moving around the man so at least one was in his blind spot.

The man frowns as he tries to keep them in view. “Now who do you follow?”

“We follow our father. That is all you need to know.” Nemna says as Eeth ignited his lightsaber, dividing his focus between all three.

The man huffs. “A Sith Lord I presume?”

“Maybe this one can be of help. I doubt he has love for the empire from what we have heard.” Eeth says putting his lightsaber away.

The twins look to him surprised. “Master, he could be trouble.” Nemna said.

“We are looking for a jedi. Shaak Ti.” Eeth says.

“Master.” Ralyn almost hissed.

The man looked slightly alarmed at Eeth and is hesitant to say anything.

Eeth raises an eyebrow. “Let me guess, saving?”

“Shaak Ti is dead.” The man finally says with a little guilt.

“How would you know that?” Ralyn asks.

The man glares to him. “Killed her.”

The two teens tensed hearing that and were ready to strike, but Eeth signals them to back down before a bull rancor attacked.

They all jumped away and look to it as the rancor tries to swipe at them. “Great, we’ll hold off on killing you until this one is dead.” Ralyn said pointing to the man before jumping away as a new Zabrak female tried to grab him.

As the zabrak tried to get Ralyn, Nemna got another one of those native coming after her and tried to jump away on the other way as well. All the while, Eeth shakes his head. ‘Unbelievable.’

“Who is this?” Ralyn asks.

“Don’t know, but the dark side is coming from her.” Eeth says as the Zabrak’s eyes widen as if she recognized him.

Ralyn frowns. “Want me to kill her?”

“Master Eeth?” The female asks as the mysterious man fought the bull rancor.

“You know her?!” The twins called.

“Do I know you?” Eeth asks.

The siblings faceplant at that as he got the clueless look on his face again.

“Not personally. I am Maris Brood. I was trained on the Gray Pilgrim during the clone wars. I later became master Shaak Ti’s padawan when she found me.” Maris says.

Eeth hums. “And the dark side?”

“It’s this place and master Shaak Ti abandoned me here.” Maris says.

“She’s dead.” Eeth says.

Maris clenches her hands together. “She was supposed to make it out.”

“Do you have a senator?” Eeth asks.

“Yes, he is my prisoner.” Maris says.

Eeth nods. “Care to let him go in my care?”

“But what if the sith lord Vader comes for me?” Maris says, fear in her voice.

“My dear, it won’t be Vader who they will send, but his subordinates and they won’t care for any hostages.” Eeth says.

Nemna frowns as she keeps watching the man and rancor fight. “Master?” She asks with the voice that said ‘Hurry up.’

“Come with us to be where the other jedi are.” Eeth offers.

Maris frowns as she tries to contemplate this. “Are you sure it's safe?”

Eeth smiles. “It kept me alive.”

“…very well.” Maris says.

“And the senator?” Nemna asks.

Maris looks to her. “I can take you to him.”

“Bring him here quickly. We will keep this one occupied then we leave the planet.” Eeth says.

Maris nods and runs off as the man stabs the rancor in the head before jumping off and charges up some lightning and shoots it into his now planted lightsaber before stopping and pulling the saber back into his hands with the force and watches it fall. “Simple.” He said turning back to the rest.

“Master?” Nemna asks.

Eeth frowns. “What are you here for?”

“I am here for the senator.” The man says.

“Then take him.” Eeth says as Maris returned with him.

“Master?!” The siblings ask shocked.

“We leave here on these terms before the stormtroopers arrive.” Eeth says.

The siblings stayed shocked as the man grabbed the senator and walks away with him without another word. “Why did you do that? He could have been useful.” Ralyn asks turning off his lightsaber.

“Actually he's more useful out then stuck with us in an underground building.” Eeth said calling in the airship.

“I shudder to think what mom and dad will say.” Nemna says.

Blitz snores as he rested in his chair. “Fluffy bad bunnies. Take that.” He said sleepily and throws a knife at the wall that hits a picture of Fluttershy holding Angel and hits Angel in the head.

“Aw, aren’t you cute.” Ahsoka says petting his head.

Blitz snorts in his sleep. “I just went five times. Let me sleep you swinger of light.”

Ahsoka smiles as she picks him up and heads for his room. “You really shouldn’t pull so many all-nighters anymore.” Ahsoka says holding his pony form.

Blitz squirms a bit. “Papers. Papers everywhere. Kill it with fire!” He calls out before putting his hooves down and snoring again.

Ahsoka smiles and pets her husband as she enters the room.

Arcane stared at the ceiling as he laid down on a couch in the lobby of the academy. “Okay, why so moopy?” Sunshine asks coming into his view.

Arcane sighs. “Well…how much trouble did you get with your coltfriend?”

Sunshine tilts her head around. “So and so. There were a lot of destroyed walls. On top of the fact that dad seems to really eye my coltfriend really hard. Like, ‘You better take this academy and pass or you will not be with my daughter’ eye.” She mimics Blitz.

“Seriously bro, you've been mooping since you got back. What's the problem?” Azure asks leaning over the couch.

Arcane frowns slightly. “Try imagining that you are destined to be with one of your aunts by some weird prophecy.”

Sunshine hums as she holds a hoof to her chin. “Nope. Don't feel anything.”

“You're a mare.” Arcane said deadpan.

Azure sighs. “Now I see. So…this is after trying to figure out how to get a mare…right?” Arcane only nods. “Well…guess it's time to help you find a mare until we figure it out.”

“I am not getting a placeholder marefriend.” Arcane declares as he sits up.

Azure chuckles nervously. “Think of it not as placeholder, but as…” He tried to come up with a word.

“Placeholder. It's a placeholder.” Blazer said walking up to them. “Take me seriously, I am a walking dictionary.”

“I thought that was auntie Sweetie Belle.” Sunshine said.

Arcane smiles. “Hey bro. What are you doing here? Looking for Diamond to pop the question?”

Blazer chuckles. “Nah. I got the way, but I'm waiting for a bit. Looking for the right time. And…there is a festival coming up soon, so I might do it there.”

Sunshine giggles. “What did you get her? A big rock?”

Blazer rolls his eyes. “Please. As if I'm going to spend my time on a giant diamond and make her head bigger. Nope, it's just a band. But it's a good one.”

Arcane sighs. “Well good luck. You might need it considering her history.”

Blazer smirks. “Spending time with me, she learned a thing or two…maybe more. I'm not worried.”

Azure rolls his eyes. “So…got any top secret missions for us?”

Blazer playfully points a claw at him. “Watch it. Dad told me not to give you any officially yet. Besides, you need to pay up still.”

Azure tries to look innocent at him. “I'm going to pay you soon. I'm just waiting on my last bounty.”

“You already got it.” Blazer argued and Azure looks to his account.

“Huh, what do you know?” Azure asks shocked a bit. Blazer rubs his claws together in a gimme motion. Azure rolls his eyes and transfers it. “There. Happy?” He asks annoyed.

Blazer smiles a bit. “Yes. Now don't skimp. I may be family, but I got a business to run as well.”

Sunshine smiles. “How did you start out again?”

Blazer groans. “Don't remind me of the old days. My talons are still cramping over the paperwork. Sometimes I just want to take a flamethrower and burn those hard drives to bits.”

Arcane chuckles. “Funny thing is dad still has to deal with so much paperwork as well. Both paper and digital.”

Blazer smiles. “Well that's one thing I'm glad we have a likeness of. The hatred of paperwork.”

Sunshine smiles. “I can give you my flamethrower.”

They all look to her questionably. “How do you have a flamethrower sis?” Azure asks.

Sunshine smiles all the while. “Mom gave it to me for cooking.”

They tried to figure that part out. “Auntie Pinkie gave you a you know what? I'm not going to question on anything related to your side sis.” Blazer said.

Sunshine giggles. “And you better keep to that buster. Including you two!” She said pointing at them with a hoof.

“Yes ma’am.” They both said quickly.

Sunshine snickers. “And that is why I am the best po…” She stops as the detector goes off at the security entrance. “Oh. What's going on?” She asks leaning over to see with the rest.

They see a cloaked person standing inside as a security guard checks him over and they see the cloak is like what the new trainees wear sometimes. “Huh. Maybe it's the lightsaber.” Azure thought out loud as the security guard seems to be trying to move the cloak, but the guy keeps moving back a bit from the grab. “Or maybe not.” He said taking out his new gun as he changes into his human form.

Almost everyone in the lobby watches it all happen as the cloaked person kept moving away from the grab and the other guards start to come closer. The cloaked person then stops before putting its arms down and leaning its head down. “Do it.” They heard and immediately duck as it sounded bad and…they we're right.

BOOM

Everyone near the janitorial closet was thrown aside from the blast as fire and rock exploded everywhere while the cloaked figure ran back out and sets off the detector again while another hooded figure followed along.

“Come back here!” Arcane yells as he runs off.

“Arcane! Wait up!” Sunshine yells holding her hammer above her head that she somehow got.

“Wait for me!” Azure yells running after them.

“Oh for the love of…wait up!” Blazer yells flying after them out the door.

“What's going on here?” Twilight demands as she rubs her eyes and comes out of the nearby resting area and walks up to Blitz looking at a video of a drone watching the chase.

“Yeah. I was going to make a big cake, but these stupid alarms messed up my measurements.” Pinkie said angrily as she walks into the office.

Blitz kept frowning as he brings up another screen of the station attack and compared the two figures. “It's one of them at least. But the other…just street clothes. Not bad of a cover.” He said as the two mares look at what he was watching.

Twilight tilts her head. “What happened?”

Blitz sighs. “These two blew up the academy lobby. Luckily, most weren't that much hurt, but now our children are chasing after them.”

Pinkie leans closer and gasps. “Woo hoo! Go Sunshine!” She cheers.

Blitz shakes his head a bit. “I better get the Zoids ready.” He said placing a call.

The two cloaked and sweatshirt wearing figures ran out of the building and then heads down the street as they pass by the many ponies and species that came to the planet, while keeping an eye behind them.

“These guys are fast.” Arcane said flying in the air as quick as he can with the others.

“Man, look at them go.” Azure said keeping up with the use of his vampiric powers.

Sunshine keeps bouncing along at the same speed. “Yeah, like high speed ninjas.”

Blazer frowns. “Sunshine, time to put your mother’s techniques to good use.”

“Yes sir!” Sunshine said saluting before hopping behind a building and then appearing ahead of the two. “Gotcha!” She yells getting ready to swing her hammer.

The cloaked figure slid under her swing and reaches a hand up before lightly touching her chest and then slides away and keeps running.

The boys ran past her frozen figure as they look at her and see her drop like a statue on her head. “Sunshine’s down!” Arcane calls.

“My baby!” Pinkie yells and runs off and goes through a wall and makes the shape of her in it.

“Did she have to use the wall?!” Twilight yells as Blitz keeps watching.

“All forces…don’t let them leave alive.” Blitz orders.

Blazer looks up the loudspeaker at that. “Dad will certainly get everyone on this. They can't make it out at this point.” He said as they now travel through the main street of Ponyville.

Arcane frowns. “And yet the way they are going…it certainly tells something. They attacked the academy and yet they aren't attacking the town or anyone else.”

Azure scoffs. “Then they are going for something else. Maybe…what else is important?”

Blitz gets up out of his chair and head for where the data was kept.

Twilight looks to him slightly shocked. “Where are you going?”

“Where they are heading.” Blitz says opening the hidden elevator.

Twilight stops and points with her mouth open. “You have to place some in the castle.” She finally said.

“You coming Twi?” Blitz asks.

Twilight quickly does a roadrunner and quickly stands by his side and the elevator takes off.

“Seriously?! Where?!” Azure asks his unanswered question.

Arcane frowns as he looks ahead and tries to see their path and remember the layout of the area and sees the path they are taking. “Can't be. Dad only told Tek and Eve to head here all the time.” He said as a low bunker came up with a military base right by it. “We got two tangos coming in. One in street gang clothes, another a cloak. Take them out!” Arcane calls into his omnitool on a radio frequency and the military base starts to shoot on the two as they start to dodge around.

“Damn, they are agile.” Blazer said watching their movements.

The two figures start to swerve back and forth between each other before they hold up a hand and they see something between their fingers before they throw their hands forward and separate for a bit before the door blasts open and they jump in through it. On the other side, they stop, seeing an entire hall filled with sentry turrets with laser line, mines, and three durasteel doors blocking their way. “Well that is not fair at all.”

“I’m sorry. We don’t give a fuck.” A pre-recorded message plays.

The two look to each other as the cloaked one was making a motion with his arm as he tries to speak, but couldn't say anything and waves it off. “You got the chip?”

The hooded person holds up a small drive before going to a panel and opens rips it open before taking out a connector and connects the drive. “Now let's hope he can figure it out.” A female said from the hooded person.

They then see a mouse raspberry them before a countdown started and laser sights started pointing at them.

The cloaked figure shakes his head as he looks to himself and all the lasers. “You know; this is the fifth time I have been in this. It still doesn't get old for me.” He said chuckling a bit.

The hooded girl sighs. “Why do you make jokes? I mean, we got thirty seconds.” She said throwing her arm at the large screen.

The cloaked figure chuckles. “And now we will walk out.” He said walking away.

The hooded girl looks to him in shocked under her darkened face. “Are you kidding? We just came here.” She said following him.

The cloaked figure turns to her. “Oh please. Remember our first time, that shadow man?”

The hooded girl tilts her head. “Oh yeah. That was some plan you pulled off.”

The cloaked figure chuckles. “Yeah, but I didn't tell, because it wouldn't have been as badass.”

“Ok, I think I got it.” The hooded one says before flamethrower, lightning, and spike traps added to the defenses.

The cloaked man just turns his head at her. “Sorry.” She said.

The cloaked man shakes his head. “Hold on.” He said reaching into his cloak and she can hear the beeping. “Okay. He's on it. I'm not letting you handle the hacking next time. Specialist, you are not.” He said as lights blinks on the drive they had that is still connected to the panel.

“Ok, I have by passed th…I got spiked!?” They hear over their comms.

The cloaked man shakes his head. “You have to be kidding. Wasn't the Mariana trench hacked into a long time ago?” He asks as the laser were now trained on his head.

“I was spiked. How did that happen?” They hear over the comms with the best panel sparking behind her.

The hooded girl looks to the panel. “Got a plan?”

The cloaked man sighs. “I hate cheating. Come on.” He said grabbing her gloved hand and drags her behind a pillar as the boys run in and see them heading behind one.

“Hey! Get back here!” Arcane yells and rushes after them and looks behind the pillar and sees nothing. “What the heck?!” He yells looking around it.

Azure blinks. “Where the heck did they go?”

Both the two come out from behind a server and stop at the sight of Blitz standing in the middle of the room of servers as liquid nitrogen fell from the ceiling in mist over the servers and kept some parts of the ground frozen.

“Hello good sir. Mind if we use your servers for our personal gain?” The cloaked figure asked in a heavy accent.

“I have been expecting you both.” Blitz says as a gas unseen and heard starts leaking in.

The hooded girl looks around as the cloaked man claps his hand together. “Well of course you have. We made an appointment, but…we knew you would never let us in. Considering the fact that you can make things unseen float by our heads at times. Like this wire.” He said taking out some school scissors and cuts the line above him.

“Check your feet.” Blitz says as their feet started to turn to stone.

They look down and the girl taps her foot before nodding. “Stone.” She said before they look at him and the cloaked man starts chuckling.

“Yes, yes, turn to stone while I ah, that is what you are hiding.” Blitz says.

The cloaked man keeps chuckling before stopping and smiles under his hood. “You are an idiot. You really thought we were trying to hack into the security itself? If we could get in here the whole time like this, why didn't we do this when we got into the academy? Heck, why the chase?” He asks now walking forward as if his feet weren't like stone. “Besides, you have kept your attention on us and not on the drive we left connected.” He said smirking and Blitz can see his teeth which was in a strange shape like the middle was closer than the sides.

“You mean the one in a close circuit? By the way, what do you call this species?” Blitz asks.

The cloaked man chuckles. “Like I would tell. Now how about my friend?”

“I would think you would ask about your kidney.” Blitz says confusing him.

The cloaked man scratches his head with a gloved hand. “Kidne…fuck this.” He said walking back to where he was and leans against a server. “Look, you can't hurt me. No matter how hard you try.”

“I might not, but…” Blitz says before the guy feels his leg missing.

The guy looks down and sighs. “Not again. I just…dang it.” He said moving his stumped leg behind the server. “Still a nice dog. He's cute at times.”

“Yep.” Blitz says before the guy feels immense pain where a kidney should be.

The guy groans as he puts an arm where his kidneys are. “Damn. Teleportation huh? Not bad. I'm kinda of the hands on type.”

“Oh no. I reached in and crushed it with telekinesis.” Blitz says taking a drink before he felt pain again.

The guy groans. “Second?”

“Think that one wasn’t me. It is an angry mother.” Blitz says taking another drink as his partner was a stone statue now.

The guy chuckles a bit more and sighs. “Well. At least we got it.” He said putting his cut leg down from behind the server and it was back to normal. “It's done and uh…you lost.” He said before snapping his fingers and a blinding flash was made and both of them disappeared.

“Nope, we won. You did integrate the bio homing beacon only changelings can detect?” Blitz asks.

Twilight nods as she comes out from behind a server. “Done. But…they just went back into the lobby and both of them are moving.”

“They still want to distract us from these guys. Terran hunt and kill.” Blitz says.

Terran barks and runs off.

“Fuck! I hate that!” The girl yells as she shakes herself.

The guy sighs. “Yes, it is bad. At least we got it. Now we just have to make a hasty retreat.” He said before a throat clearing was heard. He looks and sees the three guys left behind in the lobby. “Oh. Hi guys.” He said waving.

The girl just grabs his collar and pulls. “Can we just get out of here?”

The man nods before waving and flicking a ball at them before it explodes into smoke and they run off with the guys after them again. “This is ridiculous.” Azure said getting his rifle.

“Yeah and dad already transmitted the data to the Quarians and Turians. You lost before we began.” Blazer taunts.

The guy looks to him. “Did he now? So they are on a public system first before going private. It's strange though. Maybe we should have shut down the satellites instead of hacking it. And don't say anything about a secret one, we hack every single com there is.” He said as they start to run on the rooftops.

“Come in.” A voice says static heard over the communicators.

The girl sighs. “You got the, in his words, epic escape ready?”

“We were tricked. The data was not there anymore.” The voice says.

The guy frowns. “Then it needs to be fixed to plan B. They will find and they will lose. Get us out of here and drop the contract.”

“It's already there. I'll get the contract up and running just for them.” The voice said as the two jump near the fountain of the town and stop as they look to every single soldier, jedi, and sith looking at them with weapons at the ready.

“Oh crap.” The woman says.

Azure frowns as he comes forward a bit and points his gun. “It's over.”

The guy tilts his head. “Hey, you modded my gun. Awesome man. And Blazer, keep training. Those swords were made, but not by your father. So…good luck. Oh and if you see little Terran, tell to not try and eat the watch.” He said as he holds his hand up with the woman as she zips up her hoodie and tightens her hood around her face. “It's been fun.” He said before they quickly got sweat up and away and they see get into an airship that picked them up and fly away as they went inside it.

“We made it.” The woman says before hearing a growl behind them.

The guy sighs. “Yeah. That's what I thought.” He said turning around to see Terran and walks to him before whispering in its ear and steps back and aside before Terran jumps out without another growl. “I swear. I hate dimension hoppers. Always ruin our day. But…now we have to really get involved. They had to stick their noses. Idiots.” He said taking a seat.

“He also stole your pants.” The woman says covering her eyes.

The man chuckles as he wraps the cloak around him a bit. “Please. You were begging for it off last night. You and the other girls.”

“Also a big hole in the back of your cloak.”

The man looks behind and growls. “At least this is my ‘Suspicious Cloak That Is Not Meant To Be Use In Public’ version. Thank goodness he didn't get after my good one. Though…that one seemed prepared. Not the academy, but the data site. He was able to stop our hack and no one can do that since…damn. They got her out. Well…we can activate some protocols on her if we have to.” He said grabbing a towel and covering up the hole.

“You ok Sunshine?” Blitz asks.

Sunshine stretches a bit. “Oh yeah. That was awesome. Can I do it again?” She asks smiling widely.

“Don’t worry me like that.” Blitz says holding his daughter.

Sunshine giggles. “Dad, it was cool. In fact, I think he hit my central nerve somehow. Only my coltfriend can do that.”

Blitz twitched hearing that term.

Sunshine keeps giggling until she looks to the door. “Mileia!” She calls out as a zebra walks in looking a bit worried. “Hey. I'm fine. But that guy used the same trick you use.”

“So this is your coltfriend.” Blitz says.

Sunshine nods. “Yeppers. A bit more fun, but lovable all the same. Right hun?” She said smiling widely as Blitz was looking through his coat.

Mileia gulps with Blitz predatory like eyes on him.

Sunshine laughs and hugs Mileia. “He's handsome, instead he dad?”

“Um Sunshine…is this your father?” Mileia asks.

Sunshine nods. “Yeah. My most badass father that can kill others just by looking at them with laser eyes. Better then sharks even.” She said hugging him tighter.

Mileia gulps at that as he tries to look away from the hard gaze.

Sunshine giggles. “Don't worry. He won't kill you because then I'll be sad and he’ll have to deal with mom and auntie Maud.” She said acting moopy in the middle and then happy again.

“Speaking of your aunt, is she here with Sunny?” Blitz asks.

Sunshine nods. “Yeah. She's with mom cooking with the rocks she brought. Oh, I need to get Discord and Sombra the penguin to our dinner. I need to go.” She said getting on Mileia’s back. “Let's go my coltfriend.” She said pointing forward and out.

Blitz gulps and heads for the kitchen. Entering the kitchen, he found Maud there with only Sunny.

Sunny looks to him and smiles as he smiles and reaches for him while laughing. “Hi daddy. Can we play? Momma wouldn't let me get close yet.”

Blitz smiles and picks up his son. “Nice to see you again Maud.” Blitz says.

Maud looks to him blankly. “Hello. My son has been wanting to see you for a long time. At least this attack gave us a chance.” She said still deadpan in her usual voice.

“So where is he and teaching your nephew how to cook?” Blitz asks.

Maud nods. “My sister has told me to help teach her foals. At least he will be able to cook anything. Rock soup?” She asks holding up a bowl of hot water and rocks.

“I’ll wait till dinner. This whole thing and my daughter being hurt has killed my appetite. So how is your husband?” Blitz asks.

Maud throws the bowl up and behind her. “Trying to make me laugh. He's having more success with our foal.” She said as the bowl’s contents land in the boiling pot and the bowl in the sink. “Just more success. Not full.”

“I can tell you are happy at least.” Blitz says as Sunny rode atop his head.

Maud hums. “And she was hit with a nerve attack. A nerve release and it will be like you just had a massage.”

“Yeah, I just wish I could say those…you know what I would say to those who are in custody or dead right now.” Blitz says stopping himself from cursing in front of Sunny.

Sunny leans over his head to look at him. “Say what dad?”

“Not for your ears little one.” Maud says ruffling his mane.

Blitz sighs. “So…cooking and visiting?”

“Yes…I’m not going to castrate you.” Maud jokes.

Blitz smiles a bit. “Good. I was worried…always. Now then, I'll leave you to it. I need to check up on things.” He said putting Sunny down.

“Alright. Sunny, you mind being aunt's little helper?” Maud asks.

Sunny nods and salutes. “Yes ma’am.” He said jumping into the counter.

“He’s a lot like you.” Blitz says.

Maud looks to his smiling face. “None whatsoever.”

“You can’t see it? I see it clearly.” Blitz says before leaving.

Maud tilts her head Sunny gains that blank face of hers. “Food?” He asks blandly as Maud nods and they get back to cooking.

“Please tell me that drive has something on them.” Blitz asks rubbing his head as Tek and Eve look over everything they left behind.

Tek sighs. “It's just a kill program, but…not for the security. Looks like it was going for the files, but we sent it already and there is no connection to the system. And…now we know why they were trying to kill the data.” He said before a picture of a screen grab of an old footage of the base with some large thin creature holding a crude laser rifle and another with a ballistic style gun that was wearing some tattered rags and chains around it to hold the clothes together as it stood on legs like a bird’s. “They were trying to protect us. Not kill us. This thing…is the only one that attacked the base and it left barely a scratch like they told us.”

“I have found no files on this matter other than those.” Eve said a bit away as she works on her own.

“Unknown species huh?” Blitz says looking at it closely.

Tek nods. “If they were trying to stop us from knowing about, it's probably a good reason for it.”

“Maybe they didn’t want us distracted from the task of the empire. By the way, nice job delivering the files to the Turians and Quarians.” Blitz says patting Eve.

Eve looks to him. “Nice is not the word. I have lost over a thousand packets of data while sending it. I have not done a nice job.”

Tek grins as he looks over. “It still got to them. So it is a nice job. Stop looking to a hundred percent here.”

“We were also right to have to go to see the representatives before giving them the data personally.” Blitz says.

Eve blinks. “It's so…illogical…still.”

“Also it is time Eve. Twilight is waiting for you.” Blitz says.

Eve looks up to him as Tek wraps a hoof around her and pulls her along. “You're going to be happy Eve.” He said leaning his head on her.

“Now I best go take a shower.” Blitz says.

Eve blinks and looks to Tek. “Do I need to shower with you once I am part organic?”

“Yes.” Tek says.

Eve tilts her head. “Strange customs. The usual here is to be alone in some places.”

“Rarity, your back.” Blitz says hugging her.

Rarity giggles as he lightly hugs him back as she had a lot of bags with her. “Hello dear.” She said nuzzling him as her mane was now behind her mostly and wearing some earrings and necklace. “What did I miss?”

“Yes, have a good fashion tour in Asari space?” Blitz asks.

Rarity chuckles. “They know how to accessorize but it's still pony clothes mostly. I am working on full size clothes for other species. Thank goodness for Blazer giving me some ‘market’ tips.”

Blitz smirks before kissing her. “So have you seen the foals yet?” Blitz asks.

Rarity smiles. “No. I had to drop most of my stuff first and these are very valuable items.”

“I know you are.” Blitz teases.

Rarity smirks. “Please. You know I would visit them first. Now then, where is everypony?”

“Getting ready for dinner.” A male voice says.

Rarity gasps and rushes over to the voice. “Luminous!” She calls and hugs the stallion in a dress suit.

“Hello mother, have a nice trip?” Luminous asks in a refined tone.

Rarity laughs and keeps hugging him. “Aw, such a good boy. I've taught you well.”

“So going to go see your daughter and younger son?” Blitz asks.

Rarity clears her throat. “Yes. Where are they?”

“So still not into our preteen daughter’s style?” Blitz asks.

Rarity frowns. “That outfit is scandalous and may get her into more trouble than normal.”

“Well what can you do? It's her taste.” Blitz says petting her back.

Rarity huffs. “Where are they?”

“Your daughter is fixing her hair I think and our younger son…is he still taking a nap?” Blitz asks looking at Luminous.

Luminous nods. “Yes. He's been resting all day.”

“Oh. Where is he sleeping?” Rarity asks.

“Entertainment room nine on the couch with a pillow, blanket, and his stuffed animal lion. Rockette tucked him in.” Luminous says

Rarity smiles. “I'll go him see him later. First…” She said before walking off.

“Chances she is going to see her daughter?” Blitz asks.

Luminous smiles. “Small. But the first is still here.”

“Young lady!” Rarity yells slamming open the door.

Rockette sighs and looks to her mother in the mirror. “Yes mom?” She asks like the thousandth time as she wore some fishnets and a short skirt while having black hoof polish on and some black eyeliner. “What's the complaint on my outfit now?” She asks trying to fix some of her makeup.

“What can’t I say about your outfit?” Rarity asks before Rockette pulled out her blaster pistol and checks it.

Rockette hums. “Let me guess…it's such a short skirt that any stallion would be on my back in just minutes?” She asks checking the charge pack.

“Well at least you are wearing stockings and short shorts underneath.” Rarity huffed.

Rockette looks to her. “Who says this is short shorts? I am wearing panties.”

Rarity, hearing this, seems to be just frustrated.

Rockette sighs. “Take a chill pill. I'm about to head out anyway and I just put little bro to bed. Now let me have fun.” She said sliding a new energy packet in her blaster.

“We are about to have dinner. Stick around for that.” Rarity says.

Rockette groans. “I can find some dinner on my own. Besides, I'm not planning to eat rocks today.”

“Come on Rockette. At least stick around. Your little sister just got back from her survival training and hunting in zebra lands.” Blitz says.

Rockette frowns. “Fine.” She said getting up. “Let's go.” She said walking past her.

Blitz smiles and pets Rarity.

Rarity sighs. “How many times has she went out to clubs and bars?”

“With Vinyl?” Blitz asks.

Rarity shakes her head. “No, alone.”

“None, she is still underage.” Blitz says.

Rarity glares slightly to him. “Look at her and she's already showing off panties since the last time I saw her. What? Is her hormone count high?!” She hissed.

“Love.” Blitz says before sending her a video of Rockette smacking around stallions that got too fresh.

Rarity stops. “Oh. Well that's fine but show her a better way.”

“At least she wears that. Many of us don't even wear clothes.” Blitz reminds.

Rarity looks to her nude self. “Well…it's appropriate with the ones you love.”

Blitz smiles as he leans onto her and smiles. “You have been gone too long. Your foals have missed you, even Rockette.”

Rarity smiles and nuzzles him. “I love you.”

“And your foals?” Blitz asks returning the favor.

Rarity giggles. “Them too. Now let's go eat.”

“What about your other daughter and napping son?” Blitz asks smirking.

Rarity smirks. “Carry some food to them if they don't show. I really want to be together again. It's been too long. Now come on.” She said pulling him along.

“No. You come on. We are at least going to see your napping son.” Blitz says pulling her.

Rarity giggles and leans against you. “Love you my prince.”

Blitz smirks before petting her flank a bit before they head to where their son is.

“He is sleeping soundly.” Blitz says.

Rarity smiles as she lightly pets his head as he snores and curls up more. “Such a sweet boy.”

“Ok Rarity, wake him up.” Blitz says.

Rarity nods and shakes him a bit. “Huh, wha…” He mumbles as he opens his eyes. “Mommy.” He said sleepily.

“Have a nice nap my little one?” Rarity asks lifting the pegasus colt.

He yawns and tries to smile. “Such a good dream.”

“This isn’t a dream sweetheart.” Rarity says before kissing his forehead.

He smiles. “Mommy.” He said hugging her.

“Yes my little one.” Rarity says smiling.

He keeps nuzzling her and hugging her tightly. “Mommy.”

“Come on you. Time for dinner.” Blitz says giving him his stuffed lion.

He smiles and hugs it tightly. “Thanks daddy.”

“Alright. Come on, it’s time to eat.” A female voice says from the door.

The colt gasps. “Sis!” He cheers and holds out his hooves as a younger mare walks in and takes him out of Rarity’s hooves and hugs him. “Didja catch anything? Didja?”

“I did.” The mare says smiling before looking at Rarity. “Hi mom.”

Rarity smiles. “Hello dearie. How are you?”

“Fine. I am glad your back.” She says hugging Rarity.

Rarity giggles and hugs her back. “I'm glad you're okay Lilly.”

“Kill anything worth bragging about?” Blitz asks.

Lilly hums. “Nah. Just the usual.”

“I see.” Blitz says ruffling her hair a bit.

Lilly pushes his hoof away. “Let's go. I'm hungry and so is he.” She said poking the colt’s stomach and make him laugh.

“Oh Cyclone, did Rockette tuck you in?” Rarity asks.

Cyclone nods. “Yeah. She got me in real tight and I couldn't move because it was so comfy.”

“Rockette loves her little brother and sister Rarerare.” Blitz says.

Rarity hits his side. “Shut up.”

“Mother, can I ask for your help?” Lilly asks.

Rarity smiles to her. “Anything dear.”

“I want to make some cameo for my hunting gear. Could you help?” Lily asks.

Rarity smiles. “I would be glad to. But first, let's eat.” She said as Cyclone’s stomach growls.

Blitz chuckles and leads them out. “Let's go. I'm sure everyone’s hungry.”

Blitz smiles as he awoke and stretches. “Honestly, this is too comfy so please don't move.” Shadow said snuggling into his chest.

“Oh, my shadow captain clingy today?” Blitz asks.

Shadow smirks. “Nah, it's your clone on my other end who keeps rubbing my flank.” She said as another Blitz was sleeping away while stroking her flank. “Still comfy.”

Blitz looks unhappy and the clone disappears. “My shadow.” Blitz says.

Shadow giggles. “Yes. I'm your mare and you can do whatever you want to me.”

“Don’t the foals need attention?” Blitz asks before nibbling her ear.

Shadow moans. “That feels so good.”

“So mommy, don’t you have some foals you want to see?” Blitz asks.

Shadow moans and looks to him. “One last spank?”

“You’re insatiable.” Blitz says.

Shadow smirks. “Am I a little sluty?”

“Never.” Blitz says.

Shadow smiles and kisses him before pulling away and getting out of bed. “Okay, I'll go get my kids and get some breakfast.”

“You know what today is right?” Blitz asks smirking.

Shadow looks to him. “What?”

“Flight training. Your second youngest is finally old enough and he is looking forward to it.” Blitz says.

Shadow grins. “All right. Let's get his big life started.”

“You going to do him like you did me while learning to fly?” Blitz teases.

Shadow giggles. “Nah. That was you. But…the last part maybe. We all still have the vision and nopony can figure it out. Now then, I suggest you get cleaned up and get ready. I got a son to teach.”

“A son and daughter to keep drilling as well.” Blitz adds.

Shadow shakes her head as she gets up and leaves.

“Keep shaking that sexy flank.” Blitz says.

Shadow smiles and gives an extra shake at times. “You're a horny stallion.”

“And you are my beloved wife.” Blitz says getting up.

Shadow smiles and heads out as Blitz got cleaned up and heads out to his office and calls up a number before it answered. “Spike my brother. Got anything from our friend/enemies’ escape?”

Spike sighs. “We got the ship they were leaving in…and it's…old.” He said bringing up the footage of their escape and Blitz sees them jump into hyperspace after just one second past the line of ships around the planet.

“Let them go for now. Focus on gathering info on those they were covering for.” Blitz instructs.

Spike raises an eyebrow. “You think they would try and hired those things to attack a base? And I can't shake the feeling they are familiar in movements. I mean…that ship…it's familiar in some way.”

“Look into it, but prioritize the ones they were hiding for now…in fact, assign Arcane to the missions involving them.” Blitz instructs.

Spike gives him an ‘Are you serious’ look. “Really? Doesn't he have a lot on his plate for now?” He said as he takes a seat and Blitz sees the others just relaxing in the background.

“It’s time he started getting more mission. I know for a fact you have been sidelining him.” Blitz says sternly.

Spike snorts some smoke out of his nose. “He asked me for dating advice. I say get his head into the game before we throw him out. Get Terra on him. If he has stray thoughts on the missions I have lined up, he will fall and not the way you want it to really be.”

“I plan to. Now my orders stand.” Blitz says.

Spike sighs. “Fine. I'll get the missions unlocked for him and have it private. At least he passed with flying colors.” He said smirking a bit. “School wise, he's good. Social…must be though for an alicorn.”

“And his mother.” Blitz says.

Spike clicks his tongue. “Been a long time every time. You tend to miss a lot. Heck, I missed one heck of a chase.”

“Maybe it's better if you weren't here. Can't lose a good commander.” Blitz shaking his head.

Spike chuckles. “We know who's the better one here.”

“Also a new order.” Blitz says.

Spike raises an eyebrow. “Yes?”

“Get your flank down here and see Twilight. The same for the girls and their families.” Blitz says.

Spike stares at him before laughing a bit. “Okay. Yes sir.” He said giving a mock salute. “I'll see what I can do. While you have a school to run. Though it would be weird if I'm force sensitive.”

“You’re not. If you were, we would all be in deep trouble.” Blitz says.

Spike frowns. “Hey, one time I blew everything in a fleet to just a single plate of metal.”

“My point stands.” Blitz says.

Spike snorts. “At least I got under control. Well I'll see you planetside. Maybe we can play some good old fashioned board games.”

“Before or after you are buried?” Blitz jokes.

Spike rolls his eyes. “Hey, I was able to finish my whole library of games. Cut me slack. Besides…it's kinda boring up here. I need someone else to play with and those five are predictable.” He said pointing behind him.

“We heard that.” They said.

“I mean by the foals wanting to see their uncle.” Blitz says.

Spike smiles a bit. “Oh those lovable oafs. Getting cuter or handsomer every time. I guess I just have to take it head on. They have been wanting to see their uncle for some time.”

“You seen what Rockette looks like now?” Blitz asks.

Spike raises an eyebrow as he twiddles his claws and a photo of her came up. “I don't know why, but I find that a good look. But I bet Rarity is going crazy over it.”

“Oh yeah. Quite a change from the pigtails she used to have.” Blitz says.

Spike chuckles an old photo came up of her actually in a cute dress. “Oh yeah. Kinda weird at times. She made this big of change and it's so surreal. She's either a punk or a goth.”

“Punk.” Blitz says.

Spike shrugs. “At least she's living a life. This will pass.”

“Well I am not so sure about that, but at least Rarity isn’t going on about how hunting is unlady like to Lilly.” Blitz says.

Spike smiles. “That's because she sees a good job and lots of bits. Can hold out Lilly for a long time too.”

“She just finished survival training in zebra lands.” Blitz says.

Spike chuckles. “Not bad. Speaking of zebras, saw Sunshine’s coltfriend. You must be steaming mad.”

“I have not killed yet.” Blitz says.

Spike grins. “Oh yeah. This is going to be a fun father and future son-in-law confrontation.”

“Also Blazer is about ready to ask Diamond.” Blitz says.

Spike smiles. “Good bird. Been too long for them. Maybe we’ll see it when we come down.”

“Maybe.” Blitz says before someone ended the call. “Was that necessary Applejack?”

Applejack frowns. “Yes. And you still need to help with the future wedding arrangements.”

“I thought we had ours.” Blitz teases seeing the foal sleeping on her back.

Applejack just bonks his head with a hoof.

“Is mommy a little cranky?” Blitz asks.

Applejack holds up a frying pan now.

“Shh he's sleeping.” Blitz says petting his son.

Applejack rolls her eyes and watches him pet their sleeping son who snores in his sleep. “At least he is precious.”

“Like you.” Blitz says.

Applejack hits his side while still watching their son. “I wish we can stay like this forever.”

“You remember when I sent you Blazer?” Blitz asks.

Applejack smiles. “And you gave me my first son.”

“And how many daughters and sons?” Blitz asks.

Applejack smiles wider. “Two sons. One daughter.”

“And who just arranged it to where Apple Bloom will be coming for a visit?” Blitz asks.

Applejack grins to him. “Really Blitz?”

“I twisted Spike’s claw.” Blitz says.

Applejack raises an eyebrow at that.

“Being in charge has its perks.” Blitz says before rubbing against her side.

Applejack keeps an eyebrow raised. “And Spike is the stubbornest dragon I know.”

“Yet he cannot refuse an order so…what do you want to do country mare?” Blitz asks rubbing her shoulders.

Applejack sighs in relief. “How about breakfast and we’ll see where that goes?”

“Alright.” Blitz says leading her.
