Your friend and mentor, Princess Celestia.

Celestia's POV

After I sent the letter Luna came and said "I hope they get here soon sister.".

"Me too. We can't hold up the shield much longer." I said

Meanwhile in Ponyville...

3rd person

Fluttershy was feeding her animals while Drex and Thalia were playing with their children, then Rainbow Dash came and said" Fluttershy come quick Twilight said to meet us in the castle immediately.".

"O-okay we'll just drop off the kids at the Cakes place." Fluttershy said.

They then went to the castle and then Twilight filled them in on what was happening "Girls we are needed in Canterlot, Princess Celestia needs our help with a dragon attack.".

"Oh my." Fluttershy said.

"The Princess said she will send a chariot to pick us up hopefully we will arrive there before the dragon attacks again. I will also bring the Wookiepedia's guide to creatures from beyond the stars 'cause I have a feeling that dragon is not from here." Twilight said.

5 minutes later...

The chariot arrived then went immediately for Canterlot.

Meanwhile in orbit...

Aboard the Venator-Class Star Destroyer Thresher Jedi Master Draco Thunder gets ready to go down to Equis. "Admiral prepare an LAAT with 1 of every type of blaster we have and a few ammo crates and a box of Kyber Crystals and lightsaber components and my squad for me." Draco Thunder said.

"Yes Master Jedi." Admiral Brecken Said.

Draco Thunder then went to Hangar Bay B where he was met with Thunder Squad they helped him through many missions and they are one of the few clones who didn't execute Order 66 and survived they are: Lynx the yellow armored sniper, C4 the red armored demoman, Vine the green armored scientist, Circuit the orange armored technician and Omega the blue armored the leader. They greeted Draco "Greetings General." they saluted.

"At ease men we will go down to my hometown Ponyville, only engage hostiles." Draco said

"Sir yes sir." Thunder Squad said.

They went down to Ponyville.

Ponyville...

The residents of Ponyville heard a whirring sound in the sky

. They looked up and saw the LAAT and quickly ran to their homes thinking it was an invasion by aliens. Then it landed in town square and opened 2 doors and a cloaked figure that looked like a pony with bat wings with 5 bipedal figures following him walked out then the cloaked figure removed the hood and revealed a cyan-yellow maned stallion with a unicorn horn. The townspeople slowly walked outside their homes but still wary of the bat wings thinking he was a royalty of vamponies or something but they warmed up to him showing he wasn't a threat. Then Draco Thunder said "Yup still the same old Ponyville."

They were shocked that this pony knew of Ponyville while a mint green unicorn was about to blow up with excitement.

"Humans." the mint green unicorn shouted.

"Oh hi Lyra long time no see." Draco said.

"How do you know my name, wait Draco is that you." Lyra said shocked to see her old friend all these years.

"Yup Lyra its me so glad to see you again. Draco said to her former classmate.

"Where were you all this time I never saw you again." she hugged him.

The townspeople were still shocked that humans were real and Lyra knew the strange pony.

"Let me introduce you to my friends. Guys take off your helmets." Draco said.

"Yes sir." they said taking off their helmets.

"This is Lynx the yellow armored one with the buzz cut, C4 the red armored bald one, Vine the green armored one with the buzz cut and the scar over his right eye, Circuit the orange armored guy with burn marks over his face and a blonde buzz cut and Omega the blue armored one with a blind left eye they are my squad." Draco said.

After introducing his squad he said he was here to find more Force-sensitives for the Jedi Order. The townspeople asked him what the Jedi Order was and what was the Force. He said " The Jedi Order protect the galaxy from any threats with help from the New Republic. I am here to look for more initiates for the Jedi Order preferably children.".

"But why children?" one townsperson asked.

"Because they are easier to train in our ways and less open in their emotions." Draco said.

"Wait you mean you are just going to take children from us?" another townsperson asked.

"No only the ones that want to go we won't force anypony to join. But I might be here a while so I might need a house. Don't worry I'll pay. I will hold an event tomorrow in the schoolyard to choose initiates, those who don't want don't go. We will be camping in the Everfree Forest for now." Draco said

"Admiral set the ship down in a clearing in the Everfree forest, I'm sending you the coordinates now. Keep the doors closed and weapons ready I've known too much of the creatures there and if you see a timberolf burn them do not just shoot them." Draco said.

"Yes general." Admiral Brecken said.

"So Lyra is Princess Celestia in Canterlot?" Draco asked Lyra.

"Yeah but there is a dragon attack there. Twilight and the others went to Canterlot to hopefully calm it down." Lyra said.

"Wait does the dragon have 2 heads and forest green color." Draco said.

"From what the reports say then yes." Lyra said.

"Oh no thats a battle hydra they sometimes attack the Jedi Order. Thunder Squad move out and set your weapons to stun, I want to learn how it got here. We will move to Canterlot lets hurry. Lets move, move!" Draco shouted while getting in the LAAT.

"Pilot take us to Canterlot the big city on the side of the mountain set the lasers to the lowest power possible and hurry." He shouted.

"Yes sir." the pilot said before rushing off to Canterlot.

Meanwhile in Canterlot

1 hour earlier...

The Mane 6 arrived in Canterlot just in time before the next dragon attack happened when they arrived the streets were empty.

"What happened here?" Twilight said.

"My goodness the streets are empty." Rarity said.

"Only one dragon we know of could have done this. It was Plague." Thalia and Drex said.

"Wait so you're telling us that this dragon also came from another planet like you guys?" Rainbow asked.

"And that one dragon caused all this mess." Applejack said.

"Oh my." Fluttershy said.

"Yes he was the only battle hydra that always survived on a raid to the Jedi Temple on Yavin 4." Drex said .

"Well then lets hurry lets go to the castle." Twilight said.

Then they rushed to the castle where they saw Princess Celestia trying to comfort the nobles.

"Princess." they said.

"Ugh what are those hideous creatures." Blueblood said.

"Silence Blueblood these Aak Dogs might be able to save us." Celestia said

"Girls I'm so glad you're here we need all the help we can get. Even the Wonderbolts were powerless to stop it." Celestia said.

"Don't worry Princess we have the Elements of Harmony." Celestia said

"But why?" they asked.

"Because this dragon is from another planet like these Aak Dogs." Celestia said.

"Wait I think I saw this in the Wookiepedia." Twilight said skimming through the book until she found it. "Aha I found it

"Battle Hydras, or something like that, have settled into the ecosystem of Yavin 4. I had to persuade Jacen not to take one as a pet."

―Luke Skywalker's account of the Battle Hydra.[src]

The Battle Hydra was a type of large reptilian dragon-like Sithspawn that was created by the Sith Lord Exar Kun.[1]

Biology and appearanceEdit

Physically, a battle hydra was a sinuous reptile with leathery wings.[1] It should be noted that no two of these animals were identical though all shared the same general description.[2] Typically,[3] they were known to hold two heads that sat atop long, fluid necks. The heads held a pair of yellow slitted eyes.[1] Whilst this was the usually the case, there were some varieties of these beasts that had more than two heads.[3] At the back was long wicked,[1] whip-like tail that held a hooked stinger.[3] The stinger glistened with a strong and acidic crystallized poison[1] that dripped from the tail.[3] Four powerful legs were tipped with hooked claws[2] that were both tough and sharp[1] as well as easily capable of ripping the flesh from the beasts victims.[2] The body of the beast contained muscular torsos that were sheathed in iridescent scales.[1] This was forever altered at a molecular level by the Sith alchemy that had altered their physiology.[2] The skin was infused with ancient Sith alloys that reduced the damage sustained by the beast.[3] The armor alloy introduced into their basic physiology even reduced the damage from a lightsaber attack.[2]

A battle hydra.

When left to their own devices, these beasts were mindless and shy creatures[1] that was a contrast to their fearsome appearance.[2] When searching for food, battle hydras were known to be solitary animals that hunted alone.[2] Much of their existence involved them being aloft where they rode thermal currents in search of prey or threats. When these were spotted, the battle hydra dove through the air where they snapped with multiple jaws[2] as well as attacked with their teeth, claws and poisoned stinger.[3] Once prey succumbed to either the attack or poison, the beast took the corpse back to its lair where it was torn apart and devoured.[3] They only ever attacked with their claws once they landed and were beginning to feed.[2]

These animals were, however, susceptible to influence or commands from Force-sensitive dark side users.[3] Normally, they did not attack an individual unless cornered or spurned by the will of a Sith Lord.[1] Many of them used their battle hydra as their own personal shocktroopers[3] and it was only on such commands did they ever attack in numbers.[2] Battle hydras were known to be particularly attracted to sites that were strong in the dark side of the Force. It was believed that perhaps these beasts perhaps drew some form of nourishment from these locations.[3]

HistoryEdit

Many centuries ago, the Sith Lord Exar Kun studied the dark Sith sciences within the depths of the planet Yavin 4.[1] His experimentation in the arts of Sith alchemy resulted in the creation of the battle hydra.[3] This alchemical creation was formed as a fierce guardian creature to test his theories. After Kun's death in the Great Sith War, the battle hydras retreated into deep mountain caverns where they dwelt in the shadows. They became a rare sight on Yavin 4.[1] In time, the beasts regressed to typical predator behavior where their small population only emerged from the mountain caves in order to hunt.[2] Normally, they prowled the skies of the steamy jungle moon, though their creator's travels did leave the possibility that some were located on other planets so long as there was an abundant supply of food.[3]

Battle hydras were forgotten for millennia until the early days of Jedi Master Luke Skywalker's Jedi Academy. In this time, the dark shade of Exar Kun's spirit summoned the mutated hydras to attack the comatose body of Skywalker. His Jedi students had encountered a variant of the creature that had three heads and possessed no forelegs. The beasts would have succeeded in their goal had Master Skywalker not acted through his nephew Jacen Solo to fight off the animal with a lightsaber. Another swarm of hydras were summoned to complete their master's will but were destroyed when Rogue Squadron pilot Corran Horn borrowed a Z-95 Headhunter. After this event, the New Jedi Order only rarely encountered battle hydras. Without Exar Kun's will to control them, the animals avoided all contact with sentient beings, except for rare attacks on those who seemed to threaten them.[2]

With Exar Kun destroyed, the creatures were believed to either have reverted to their more natural forms or simply to have died out.[2]

"Oh no even our weapons aren't enough to stop it its hide is resistant even to lightsabers.

They all stared in shock. All hope might be lost.

1 hour later...

"Sir we are approaching Canterlot." the pilot said.

"Good lets move in slowly. Don't want to scare the ponies. There land in the gardens." Draco said.

"Yes sir." the pilot said.

They landed in the gardens where they were halted by the guards.

"Halt who goes there. Who are you." Shining Armor said.

The LAAT opened its doors and revealed a cloaked pony and 5 bipedal figures wearing different armor.

"Oh come on Shining you know me." the cloaked figure said.

"I can't say I have but your voice sounds familiar." Shining said.

The cloaked figure revealed Draco Thunder, Twilights old classmate but with bat wings.

"Wait Draco is that you?" Shining asked.

"Yep its me." Draco said.

They hugged and Shining Armor said "Where have you been all this time. You just disappeared 1 day and you've been gone ever since and whats with the bat wings? And are those things humans?" Shining asked.

"Oh these I got them from a dragons venom. But I really need to talk to Princess Celestia about the dragon attack I think I have something to help contain it. Pilot stay come with me. Guys bring out the crates and weapons. Shining could you get us something to pull all this stuff?" Draco said.

"Okay Flash get a trolley here." Shining said.

"Yes sir." Flash said.

"Alright lets go." Draco said.

They went to the throne room where they were greeted by Princess Celestia "Shining Armor what do you want."

"Princess I have somepony here who wants to see you with his guards." Shining said.

"Well then bring them in." Princess Celestia said.

"Yes your highness." Shining said

The door opened to a unicorn with bat wings followed by 5 different colored armored humans and 1 human wearing New Republic armor.

"Who are you stranger?" Celestia asked.

"Its me Celestia, Draco Thunder." the cloaked figure revealed Draco.

"Draco is that you. You just disappeared one day and you never came back." Celestia said hugging him.

"Well interstellar traveling, trying to maintain peace in the galaxy just to name a few. I kid you not and I might have something to stop the dragon and better defences for Equestria. Bring it in men." Draco said.

The clones brought in the blasters and the ammo crates.

"These are the some of the weapons in the whole galaxy I would like you to mass-produce them in case of an attack. I'm gonna deal with the dragon outside, Drex, Thalia, Thunder Squad get your weapons set them to stun and come with me and pilot stay here." Draco said walking out of the throne room.

"Yes sir bye Fluttershy." Drex and Thalia said.

"Bye take care." Fluttershy said.

They went outside to confront the dragon. "Lynx hole up in that building, C4 bring up your concussion grenades and , Vine bring out the bacta canisters, Circuit set up auto-turrets around the town square, Omega, Drex and Thalia your with me and Shining lower the shield now go." Draco said.

"Yes sir." They said.

They went to their respective positions and waited for the battle hydra.

10 minutes later...

The battle hydra started attacking the city while Lynx was shooting its horns to irritate it, C4 was throwing concussion grenades at its face to stun it, Circuits auto-turrets were shooting at its legs, Omega was shooting his Z-6 rotary cannon at its belly to get it down. Draco Thnder was slashing at its belly with his 2 lightsabers while Drex and Thalia were biting on its legs.

"Why and how did you get here Plague." Draco said.

"Please help me just stop them from shooting me I was brought here by Darth Plagueis he teleported me here and he forced me to attack the city all battle hydras are controlled by Sith ghosts just cut of my front horn please please just stop" Plague said while destroying a building.

"Alright but you better become the protector of Canterlot." Draco said.

"Yes yes anything just make it stop." Plague said.

"Alright men stop firing." Draco said into the comms.

"Yes sir."They said.

Draco then jumped up and cut off the frontmost horn.

Then Darth Plagueis' ghost came out and said" You have not seen the last of me Jedi I will be back with an army." his ghost said.

He vanished into thin air. "Well that was anti-climactic. Plague come with me" Draco said.

"Yes." he said.

They went to the castle where they were met with Celestia. "What is the dragon doing here!" she said.

"Relax he was being controlled by a Sith ghost and I'll pay for the damage he did and he's gonna protect Canterlot." Draco said.

"That might be a problem, maybe I'll shrink his size and I'll bring him back to his original size

"Alright do it." Draco said.

She shrunk Plague and went in to the throne room where she introduced him "This is Plague if you don't want to listen you can just get out of here and just go back to your homes if not just swallow up you're pride" in her Royal Canterlot Voice.

Everypony just stayed in place " Good Plague will now be the guardian of Canterlot if ever the time comes and we will need a house for him." she said.

"Umm its okay Princess I found a cave on the base of the mountain." Plague said.

"Alright then everypony just go back to your homes now. Thank you Draco" she said.

"Its alright Princess. If you'll excuse me I'm gonna go back to the ship." Draco said.

"Okay bye." she said.
