"Stand still, sir!" a B1 Battle Droid said. He was putting a cape on General Grievous' back. His new cape, was gold and still had red inside of it.
It was now 21 BBY, and General Grievous just got his new Providence-class carrier/destroyer, the Invisible Hand. The ship was a modified Providence-class but it carried less flak guns. The ship was escorted by two Munificent-class star frigates of the Confederate Navy. The three heroic ships were in Confederate space waiting for someone of the CIS to give them orders. General Grievous, in a B1 Battle Droids' quarters, was preparing to go on a dinner date with Jedi Padawan Ahsoka Tano. Grievous was soon dressed up in a black tuxedo with the gold cape over him. 2 B1 Battle Droids looked at the finished General's tuxedo.
"Is it finished?" the heroic cyborg asked.
"Yes. So, do you like the girl?" the other B1 asked.
Grievous glared at the B1.
"NO! Me and her are just friends," Grievous quickly said.
"Oh. I see. It's those kind of friends," the first B1 stated.
"Would you please just leave me alone?!" Grievous yelled.
Then the cyborg General walked out of the B1's quarters and walked back to the Bridge of the Invisible Hand.
Inside the Bridge of the heroic Providence-class carrier/destroyer, the heroic General sat in the chair. Then an OOM Pilot Droid looked at the General.
"Sir, we have an incoming transmission from the Jedi Temple." the OOM Droid told Grievous.
Grievous' eyes grew. He knew that it could be Ahsoka.
"Answer the transmission and put on the hologram!" Grievous commanded his heroic droids.
Then on the hologram communicator inside the Bridge of the Invisible Hand, Ahsoka Tano popped up. She looked at General Grievous, the Separatist hero.
"General Grievous. Hello," Ahsoka greeted.
Inside Grievous' faceplate, the general blushed. "Hello, Ahsoka," Grievous responded. "Are you ready for our dinner?"
"Yes. Meet me at The Droids. It's on Coruscant near the Clone Bar. Be careful, we don't any clones finding out we're near their bar. Otherwise, bad things could happen." Ahsoka told General Grievous.
Grievous was still blushing inside his faceplate. "Okay. I'll be there," he said to his dinner date.
Then the Ahsoka Tano hologram went off. Grievous faced the OOM Pilot Droid.
"Maintain radio silence! Don't contact us or else the clones will kill us!" the heroic cyborg commanded.
"Roger, roger." the OOM Droid responded.
Then Grievous got up out of his chair and walked out of the Bridge of the heroic Providence-class carrier/destroyer and went to the hangar.
Inside the hangar of the Invisible Hand, Bay One, Grievous walked to see his starfighter, the Soulless One. When he looked at the spot where he left his Belbullab-22 starfighter, he saw it wasn't THERE! Grievous' eyes widened again. He looked around at the other OOM Security Battle Droids walking around and guarding Bay One. He ran over to one of the OOM Securities.
"Have you seen my starfighter?!" Grievous asked the OOM Security Battle Droid.
"Starfighter?! I haven't seen it at all!" the OOM Security told his General.
"NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!" Grievous' scream could be heard through the entire Providence-class carrier/destroyer. "It was right over THERE!"
At Courscant, several ARC-170s flew on patrol. Inside the Jedi Temple, Ahsoka had on one of Padmé Amidala's dresses. It was all black. She looked her Master Anakin Skywalker.
"Ahsoka, you're really going out to eat...with General Grievous?!"
"Come on Skyguy! Let me talk the General," Ahsoka said.
Anakin growled. "The Jedi are so nice to the Separatist Alliance. We need to kill them! And I mean from the inside!"
"What do you mean?!" Ahsoka asked.
"We should kill their Council members!" Anakin said. "We shall kill the Separatist Council one by one, and that will end the Separatists!"
"The Jedi don't want to kill their own allies. The Republic is going a little too crazy," Ahsoka told Skywalker. "I'm going out on my date. See you later, Skyguy!"
"Just don't get into trouble, Snips!"
Then Ahsoka left to go get her starfighter to meet Grievous at The Droids.
At Serenno, Pinkie Pie and Rarity were inside Count Dooku's palace's throne room. Count Dooku, siting inside his large chair, looked at Rarity.
"Ah! Rarity, Pinkie Pie. Do you have the Soulless One?" Dooku asked.
"Yes. Count Dooku. We have the Soulless One," Rarity told the evil Count. "Now, where's the gold Grievous was keeping to give to the Jedi?"
"I just want the starfighter!" Pinkie yelled.
"You will have Grievous' starfighter and the gold after you and your friends do one more task for me," Dooku explained to them.
"And what task will this be?" Pinkie asked.
"Ishall provide you secret Republic spies that will kill Grievous for me!"
"You want to KILL GRIEVOUS?! Yoda will be furious, not to mention your master!" Rarity told Dooku.
"General Grievous is a waste of time! The Jedi only created him so he could help their side!" Dooku explained. "We shall kill him. Once you and your friends are finished killing him, bring his head to me."
"Aww. I thought the Republic was fun," Pinkie said sadly. She then glared at the Count. "You'll pay for this Dooku!"
"I'll pay for this? But Pinkie Pie, with Grievous gone, the Republic will destroy the Confederacy of Independent Systems. You are now part of my Republic and you will do what I say. Isn't that right?" Dooku asked.
Pinkie nodded her head slowly. She knew she couldn't upset her master. "Yes, sir," she said very sadly.
"Good! I'll contact the best Venator-class Star Destroyer carrying the best clone trooper commandos. Your ship is waiting," Dooku told Rarity and Pinkie.
"Yes, Master Dooku. We will not fail!" Rarity bowed, and then she and Pinkie left.
Rarity and Pinkie Pie walked out of Dooku's palace and saw their Republic Shuttle waiting for them.
"I don't like working for Count Dooku," Pinkie told Rarity.
"I don't like working for him either, but this is the only way I can that gold for my new fashion line!" Rarity told Pinkie about her thoughts on the Count of Serenno.
They boarded the Republic Shuttle as the 2 clone trooper pilots started up the evil shuttle. The shuttle boosted into sky, and it headed to the Republic Venator-class Star Destroyer.
Back inside the Bridge of the Invisible Hand, General Grievous was talking to Grand Master Yoda on a hologram.
"Master Yoda, have you seen my starfighter?! Is it on Courscant?" Grievous asked Yoda.
"On Coruscant it is not. Stolen it is. Find it for you, we will!" Yoda told the heroic cyborg.
"Thank you, Master Yoda! I'll give you all of my thanks!" Grievous told Yoda.
Then the Yoda hologram went off. Grievous then contacted Jedi General Kenobi. When he showed up on the hologram communicator, Grievous looked at Obi-Wan.
"Yes, General Grievous? What is it?" Obi-Wan asked the heroic cyborg General.
"Have you seen the Soulless One?!" Grievous asked worriedly.
Obi-Wan then laughed at Grievous. Grievous was confused.
"The Soulless One? The clones and their stupid selves call your starfighter the Spineless One! HAHAHAH!"
Grievous rolled his eyes. He knew Obi-Wan always messed with him so he decided to leave it alone.
"Very funny, General Kenobi. But have you seen it?" Grievous asked his friend.
"No. I haven't seen it at all. Have fun on your dinner date with Ahsoka by the way," he told his old friend.
Then the Obi-Wan hologram went off. Grievous was getting more upset since he was already late to the dinner date. He then looked at the OOM Pilot Droid.
"Contact Viceroy Gunray of the Trade Federation!" the heroic cyborg commanded the heroic OOM Pilot Droid.
"Contacting Viceroy now!" the droid said.
Then Viceroy Gunray showed up on the hologram. He looked at General Grievous.
"Yes, General?" Gunray asked.
"Have you seen my starfighter?" Grievous asked.
"Your starfighter? The Soulless One?" Gunray laughed. " I don't have the Soulless One. Why do you ask General? Wait...did Master Yoda steal it?"
"NO!" Grievous yelled. "Master Yoda said he doesn't have it! He's looking for it now!"
"Did you loose the Soulless One?" Gunray asked mockingly.
Grievous stopped. He knew that if he told Gunray he'd lost the Soulless One, he would be laughed at and prove that the Supreme Commander of the Droid Armies couldn't be trusted. He then had no choice.
"Yes. But someone stole it!" Grievous told Gunray.
Gunray then laughed again. "Did one of your own Jedi steal it?"
"My JEDI?! NO! THEY DIDN'T STEAL IT!" Grievous yelled in rage.
"General, you'd better find your starfighter or else I'll have to give you another one," Gunray explained. "You don't want me to contact Master Yoda and tell him to cancel your date with Jedi Tano, right?"
"DON'T TELL MASTER YODA!" Grievous yelled again.
"I won't tell Master Yoda." Gunray's reply was smug.
"Can you make me a new fighter before the next rotation?" Grievous asked Viceroy Gunray.
"If I make you another Belbullab-22 starfighter, it will take a while and cost you extra. Shall I call it the the Soulless Two?" Gunray asked the heroic General.
Grievous thought. He knew that the Soulless Two would take about three rotations to make and he still had to be at The Droids to date Ahsoka in the next two rotations. He didn't know what to do. Grievous then turned off the Gunray hologram and walked out of the Bridge.
Inside the Venator-class Star Destroyer over Serenno, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Princess Twilight Sparkle, and Applejack were inside the Bridge with Dark Jedi Asajj Ventress.
"Have the other ponies arrived yet?" Ventress asked the Princess of Friendship.
"Yes, Mistress. Their shuttle is docking with the Star Destroyer now," Twilight responded.
"Excellent. Applejack, is General Grievous' starfighter inside the hangar?" Ventress asked.
"Yup. It's locked away by clone commandos," AJ reported to Ventress.
Rarity and Pinkie entered the Bridge of the Venator-class Star Destroyer. The Mane 6 all gave each other hugs and then faced Ventress.
"So what's the next part of the plan, Mistress?" Rarity asked.
"We have to keep the Soulless One far away from General Grievous. He's a gutless coward," Ventress explained.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! " Rainbow said. "I've heard that Grievous has slaughtered clones and Sith alike. No wonder why the Jedi need him!"
"I know. The Republic hates Grievous and so do I. We'll worry about that later. Fluttershy, prepare the clone commandos to kill him!"
"Yes, Mistress!" Fluttershy said without hesitation.
Then the evil Venator-class Star Destroyer went into hyperspace to Confederate space to kill General Grievous.
Ahsoka's Jedi Starfighter landed at The Droids and she got out of her starfighter. She looked around. She saw the Clone Bar as a whole bunch of clones were going into the bar. Ahsoka put on her cloak as she walked into the restaraunt.
"I was expecting to see the Soulless One, but I guess Grievous is still taking time to get dressed," she whispered to herself.
When she walked into The Droids, TX-20 greeted her at the podium.
"Welcome to The Droids. Are you coming by yourself?" the blue and white T-series tactical droid asked her.
"I have a date. General Grievous is on his way," Ahsoka told the heroic T-series droid.
"Then I shall take you to Date Section of The Droids. Come with me."
TX-20 then walked off of the podium and took Ahsoka to the Date Section of The Droids with two dinner menus in his hands. Ahsoka then sat down at her table and TX-20 looked at her.
"I shall be back when your date arrives." TX-20 told the Jedi Padawan.
"Thank you, TX-20," she said as she was thinking about General Grievous.
TX-20 left back to the podium.
General Grievous walked into Bay One again with his personal IG-100 MagnaGuards, IG-101 and IG-102. He saw the MagnaGuards' Rogue-class starfighters.
"Get in your starfighters! Prepare to search the galaxy for the Soulless One!" Grievous commanded his IG-100 MagnaGuards.
"Search the entire galaxy?" IG-101 asked.
"YES!" Grievous yelled.
"Alright!" IG-102 said.
Then the MagnaGuards hopped into their Rogue-class starfighters. An OOM Security Battle Droid opened the hangar doors of the Invisible Hand and the Rogue-class starfighters flew out of Bay One. Grievous watched as his MagnaGuards flew out. He then went back to the Bridge of his Providence-class carrier/destroyer.
Inside the Bridge of the Invisible Hand. Grievous looked at his OOM Commander Battle Droid.
"Uh sir?" the heroic OOM Commander Battle Droid asked.
"Yes?" Grievous asked.
"We have a Republic warship coming out of hyperspace in our Confederate space," the OOM Commander told Grievous.
Grievous' eyes widened again. He saw the evil Venator-class Star Destroyer arrive out of hyperspace and headed towards the Invisible Hand and the 2 Munificent-class star frigates.
"NO! NOT THE REPUBLIC!" Grievous yelled.
"Uh-oh!" one of the OOM Pilot Droids said.
The Venator-class Star Destroyer started to shoot the heroic Munificent-class star frigates and damaged them.
"Mistress, we've engaged the Confederate Section!" Twilight told Ventress.
"Excellent. Fluttershy, are the clone commandos prepared?" Ventress asked the shy pony.
"Yes. All of the clone commandos are in the Low Altitude Assault Transport/infantries," Fluttershy told Ventress.
"Launch them!"
Then the evil Venator-class Star Destroyer launched various LAAT/is to board Grievous' Invisible Hand. The Invisible Hand launched various Vulture Droids to combat the evil LAAT/is. The Munificent-class star frigates bombard the Venator-class with their point-defense laser cannons.
Grievous looked at the battle.
"Fire our point-defense laser cannons!"
"Firing lasers" a OOM Droid responded.
The Invisible Hand fired its point-defense laser cannons at the evil Venator-class Star Destroyer as the Star Destroyer used the DBY-827 heavy dual turrets.
"Mistress Ventress, we have an incoming transmission from Count Dooku!" Pinkie to Ventress.
Applejack brought up a small hologram communicator to contact the evil Sith Lord. Dooku popped as Ventress and the Mane 6 bowed.
"Ventress, General Grievous must die! Forget about the Soulless One! Kill him!" Dooku ordered.
"Our Republic Gunships are almost to the Hand but the Vulture Droids are holding them off," Ventress told Dooku.
"It doesn't matter. Tell the gunships to pull back and blast the Bridge of the Hand with your DBY-827s!" Dooku commanded the Mane 6 and Ventress.
"Then after that, will we be rewarded?!" Rarity quickly asked Dooku.
"Yes. If you kill Grievous, the Republic will reward you with amazing prizes," Dooku told the Mane 6.
"That means I could be on the Wonderbolts?!" Rainbow asked.
"Yes. Kill the General for your master! Return to Serenno once you've killed him!" Dooku commanded.
"Right away, Count Dooku!" Pinkie said. "We'll gladly kill General Grievous!"
Then Applejack turned off the Dooku hologram.
"I dunno about trusting Count Dooku," Applejack said. "I mean, Grievous and the Jedi don't look evil at all."
"But they are!" Ventress lied. "Grievous and his relentless Jedi don't know a thing about the Republic! Fluttershy, recall the gunships!"
"Right away," Fluttershy responded. "Also, I need that money to pay for an animal shelter. Helping the Sith kill the Jedi is cool."
Twilight thought on this. She knew that there was something off about Ventress and Dooku. They seemed too charming towards her friends. The only reason the Mane 6 joined Count Dooku's Clone Army was to get money and other gifts for their personal goals after Dooku sent a whole bunch of Star Destroyers to invade Equestria.
"Sir, the gunships are turning around!" the OOM Commander Battle Droid told the heroic Separatist General.
"WHAT?!" Grievous yelled.
"Should we have the Vulture Droids chase them down?"
"No. Bring the Vultures back. That Star Destroyer might have the Soulless One onboard," Grievous said.
"So should we prepare to board the Star Destroyer?" the OOM Commander asked.
"Yes."
Then the Vulture Droids turned around and went back to their heroic ship. The Invisible Hand moved closer towards the Venator-class Star Destroyer.
"The Hand is moving towards us now!" Pinkie told Ventress.
"Rainbow Dash, are the DBY-827s focused on the Bridge of the Hand? Ventress asked Rainbow
"Yup! We're ready!" Rainbow responded.
"I don't really know about this!" Twilight said.
"Oh come on, Twilight. We can have incredible gifts if we kill Grievous," Fluttershy told Twilight.
"FIRE!" Ventress commanded.
The Venator-class Star Destroyer fired its DBY-827 dual heavy turrets as the LAAT/is went back into the hangar. The Invisible Hand's Bridge was on fire. Ventress smiled evilly.
"Finish them off," the Dark Jedi commanded.
"Right away!" Rainbow responded as they fired the Bridge even more.
Inside the Bridge of the Hand, the entire Bridge was on fire and droids were flying through space since the glass broke. Grievous and his OOM Commander were on fire as well.
"This is the end!" Grievous said. "I was prepared to die!"
"Roger, roger!" the OOM Commander responded.
The bridge of the Invisible Hand blew up with Grievous and the droids. Then the rest of the Providence-class carrier/destroyer started to fall. After a few minutes, the entire Providence-class ship blew up as the Munificent-class star frigates turned around and went into hyperspace. Ventress smiled evilly again.
"Head back to Serenno. We did it," Ventress commanded.
"Yes, Mistress." Pinkie said.
Then the evil Venator-class Star Destroyer turned around and went into hyperspace to Serenno.
Ahsoka looked at hologram communicator. It was blinking. She hit and TV-94 popped up.
"TV-94, what is it?" Ahsoka asked quickly.
"I've just got news that General Grievous has been...destroyed by a Venator-class Star Destroyer commanded by Mistress Asajj Ventress," TV-94 told Ahsoka the bad news.
Ahsoka was furious. Now she knew why Grievous didn't show up. He had been caught in a battle. She then faced the TV-94 hologram.
"Thanks for letting me know. I have to talk to the Jedi Council about this! Ventress will pay!" Ahsoka told TV-94.
"She will. He was our best General and Supreme Commander," TV-94 stated before he turned off the hologram.
Ahsoka then got up from her seat and walked out of The Droids to her starfighter.
At Serenno, Dooku and Ventress were giving the Mane 6 their gifts.
"Rainbow Dash, here is a contract I made so you can join the Wonderbolts. Your dream!" Dooku said as he handed Rainbow Dash the contract.
"ALRIGHT! I'm on the Wonderbolts!" Rainbow yelled,
"Fluttershy, your gift will be 1,000 credits which can converted into bits for your animal shelter!" Dooku told her.
Fluttershy took the bag of 1,000 credits. "Thank you, Count Dooku!" she replied.
"Rarity, the gold from the Soulless One is now yours!" Dooku said as she handed Grievous' gold to her.
"Thank you Count Dooku. It was a honor serving you," Rarity said as she took the gold.
"Applejack, you will be rewarded with 10,000 credits to help your farm!" Dooku told AJ.
"Why, thank you Count Dooku," AJ said as she took to bag of credits.
"Pinkie Pie, you will get the Soulless One for your prize!" Dooku.
"Thanks, Dooku! I can't wait to fly it!" Pinkie chirped.
"And, Princess Twilight Sparkle, your reward be 1,000,000 credits to help Ponyville." Dooku told Twilight.
"Um...thanks," Twilight said.
"LONG LIVE THE REPUBLIC!" Dooku told the Mane 6 and Ventress.
"LONG LIVE THE REPUBLIC!" The Mane 6 and Ventress yelled.
"Go on home. We have won." Dooku told everyone.
Then Ventress and the Mane 6 went back to the Republic Shuttle. Dooku smiled evilly. Mission accomplished. he thought to himself.
Author's Note
This story is kinda sad with General Grievous death but I like how the Republic was able to trick the Mane 6 into helping them. Dooku and Ventress hate Grievous and wanted him dead as part of Darth Sidious' plan. Poor Grievous. (unless your a Republic fan) Please comment if you want a sequel to this story.
