Celestia had just raised the sun, when a messenger gave her a transmission device. It was quite warm and buzzing probably due ringing so much, so she opened it up. The person at the live transmission was none other than Count Dooku.
"Greetings your highness," he simply said with a slight grin said. "I am Count Dooku as you may remember."
"Greetings, yes I've seen you on this transmission before, to talk about negotiations," she replied. She remembered that she had turned it down, along with the Republic's offer.
"Speaking of negotiations, I would heavily like you to reconsider our offer for an alliance with the Separatists," Count Dooku,"It would be for the greater protection for your planet's sake."
Celestia thought of this for a bit, she knew diplomacy and manipulation, especially from this negotiator and she knew she needed to keep the peace here. It would be rather foolish to have a peaceful planet in a war.
"I'm sorry, but my mind is set, I will not put an agreement for anything to destroy the peace we have here in Equestria." Celestia said after a moment.
Count Dooku's grin disappeared, his eyebrows narrowed, "That was a grave mistake, your judgment will lead to your planet's downfall."
Suddenly explosions were heard outside and Princess Celestia looked outside to see massive starships landing while firing their cannons at basically anything at the ground.
"What did you do?" Celestia sternly said.
"If you are not with us then, then you are our enemy." He simply stated.
"You cannot get me off my rule, I am immortal." Celestia countered.
"Immortality is no substitute for Invincibility," he wisely said, with that he signed off.
Celestia heard metal footsteps. "Oh no," she muttered to herself. She knew she didn't have a second to spare so she opened a transmission recording and sent it to the Republic, and just in time, because right afterwards then 10 magnaguards destroyed the entrance door and made way for General Grievous.
"Ah, Princess Celestia we were hoping you would ally us, but now you have to surrender," He said.
"I'm sorry, but that's not an option," Celestia replied, and she levitated all the magnaguards and smashed them together.
"Most impressive, but magic or not you are outnumbered, you are merely delaying the your doom" General Grievous said, and then he turned on his 2 lightsabers. His reinforcement magnaguards came with 20 droid commandos. "Fire!," he commanded.
Celestia summoned a shield bubble to deflect most of the bullets. Her shield was weakening, she blasted a few bolts of energy at some of the troops, and they fell with ease. She shot more bolts at the droid commandos but they dodged her attacks. She tried to evade some of the blaster fire, but they were too accurate. At this point, she knew she can't win the fight, so she blasted a ray of devastating heat which wiped out half of the opponent, Grievous deflected it with his lightsaber. "Is that all you got?" he taunted. Celestia lost her remaining energy and before she fell unconscious, she saw Luna flying in through the window, trying to defend her.
"Why did Master Yoda order for an emergency meeting this early," Anakin said while yawning.
"If he called for something this early then it would be an emergency," Obi-Wan replied.
Like most of the Jedi in the temple, they went to see what Yoda had to say. It didn't take long for them to discuss war.
"Grave danger, we are in." Yoda said. "Captured by the separatists, the Ruler of Equestria was."
"Why is that important?" Anakin whispered impatiently. "Equestria is a pivotal planet due to its location near Coruscant." Obi-Wan whispered back.
"How do you know this Master Yoda?" Mace Windu inquired, breaking the moment of silence. Yoda turned on a recorded transmission.
"This is a message from Princess Celestia, a princess of Equestria, we are being invaded by the Separatists," hologram Celestia said urgently. "I don't have much time, but I reconsider the offer from the Republic for an alliance. Please send help, you are our only hope."
The transmission turned off. The Jedi Council agreed to take this to the Chancellor to take action. Chancellor Palpatine easily allowed the Jedi to act, with a unanimous vote from the Senate.
"Master Yoda, Anakin, Obi-Wan, and I will go defend the planet," Mace Windu later said. The Council members agreed. "Also our intel states that most of the droids on Geonosis have been transported to Equestria"
"Would you like to have at least some help?" Ki-Adi-Mundi said.
"No, the newer troops aren't ready yet." Mace Windu replied.
"That means Geonosis will be easy to take, on the ground, but not in space." Obi-Wan theorized.
"Maybe, they're in Equestria too?" Anakin doubtfully said. Obi-Wan shook his head.
"It would be a mistake for Count Dooku to put every ship and every ground troop in 1 planet." He replied.
"Well what is everyone else going to do?" Anakin blurted out.
"They will protect Coruscant in case of an invasion." Mace Windu said. "Does that answer all your questions?"
Anakin nodded, "Ok, lets go."
Aboard one of the three Acclamator while going through hyperspace, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Mace Windu discuss information about Equestria.
"We are going to land in Ponyville and their leader is called Twilight Sparkle. They refer to their species as 'pony'." Mace Windu found out.
"They seem to have peace for ages, only internal problems, not intergalactic." Obi-Wan discovered. "Anything about Separatist activity in Ponyville?"
"None yet, as far as we know," Mace replied.
"Sir, we entered the system and we found company!" One of the clones said.
"Status report, how many ships?" Obi-Wan asked. "Just 1 flag ship, sir," the clone replied.
"Just 1? Ok, then men get to your battle stations." Obi-Wan said with surprise.
Twilight was almost certain she remembered being jittery. Word had spread that Canterlot had been taken over, and that the 2 princesses were captured. Twilight had been busy that day, trying to calm everypony down. Also, a rumor had gone around that ponies were going to the Separatist's side. Although, she didn't think it was true, it made her suspicious to anyone, even her friends. A few ponies were walking around still confused on what was happening.
"Twilight! I just spotted 3 ships heading our way!" Rainbow Dash yelled. Rainbow Dash hadn't talked with any other of her friends since that argument, perhaps it damaged their friendship more than she expected.
"Are they Seperatists?" Twilight nervously yelled back. "No! They say they're Republic!" Rainbow Dash answered.
Twillight sighed, reinforcements came at last, but she realized that there weren't a lot many ships to protect Equestria.
As the ships land troops came out, humans dressed in white and yellow combat armor came out. Also. 2 people were coming towards her.
"Greetings, Princess Twilight Sparkle" a man said. He had what she assumed a lightsaber on his belt, so she thought it was a Jedi.
"How do you know my name?" she asked. "Research," he replied. Twilight was starting to like this Jedi already.
"Hello, and your name is?" Twilight asked. "Here is Mace Windu, and I am Obi-Wan Kenobi." He answered.
Twillight saw 2 of the ships leaving. "Where are they going?"
"They're going to defend what we believe is the Confederacy's next target, the Crystal Empire." Obi-Wan informed.
Now Twilight's stomach ached, if the Crystal Empire and Canterlot get taken she would be the only princess to rule what will be left of Equestria. Also, she now knew there wouldn't be enough troops here to hold of the Separatists.
"Could there be maybe a little more help coming?" Twillight asked with a little hope.
"Nope, we are on our own for a while as far as we know." Obi-Wan bluntly replied.
"Great," Twilight sarcastically thought in her head. Maybe, help would arrive later.
Anakin and Master Yoda arrived to the Crystal Empire in their cruisers.
"Sir, the troops are ready." Captain Rex said.
"Good job, Rex have your troops protect the perimeter." Anakin replied.
Everything was shining proudly. There was a statue of a dragon and a massive castle, and they both knew in order to keep this place, they had to successfully defend it. As they unloaded the troops, they saw a mainly pink unicorn with wings, alicorn they remembered, walking to them.
"Welcome to the Crystal Empire," Princess Cadence happily said. Princess Cadence less worried now since at least some kind of help arrived. "Thank you for coming to our aid in our time of need, I am Princess Cadence, leader here."
"Defend this place, we will," Yoda said. "Nice, this place is."
Anakin said, "It is certainly nice, but we have to get ready for the-" He was interrupted by the sound of blaster fire.
"They're here, already?" Princess Cadence was starting to worry again. "Go, we must," Yoda said, and they ran to the battle with their lightsabers ready.
