My Little Pony: The Star Wars

The droid trudged through the Woodlands, due to the thick underbrush that constantly snagged at his feet, before coming to a small clearing. From that clearing he looked into the night sky, and tried to use the stars to triangulate his position in the galaxy, as night had fallen some time ago.

"Judging by the constellations and the positions of most stars, and knowing my last location with those pirates, I am somewhere on the borders of unknown space." Poma spoke to himself. "The questions are, how lost am I, and can I get off this planet? No pollution present in the atmosphere indicates little-to-no presence of industry, further indicating this planet is likely not inhabited by any species advanced enough to be space-faring, therefore there are no Spaceports or Landing Zones I can use. Meaning that if I am to escape this planet, I must do so by scratch, first things first though: I must see if there is any sentient life on this planet. Even a basic knowledge of astronomy would be useful."

The droid carefully looked around, determining which direction to go next, before he could make up his mind he heard talking nearby, approximately 300 meters to the southwest.

It sounded like two women speaking in flawless Galactic Basic, arguing almost, and they were close by.

Poma moved toward the source, while his processor kicked into gear.

Galactic Basic? Here? Could I have been mistaken and this planet is space-faring? He wondered.

Poma followed the voices for several minutes, he was too far off to make out too many words, but he heard one of the women telling the other to “Be patient.” At that point the woman being spoken to must have stopped walking, because her voice now longer moved when she retorted.

Poma finally spotted a light up ahead, one that was stationary and purple, for some odd reason, no matter. A light and talking meant intelligent beings. Which he desperately needed right now.

As he broke throught the treeline, his optics adjusted to the light to make out what these creatures were.

He most certainly did not expect what he saw.

-1 hour prior-

Twilight Sparkle’s evening was not going the way she had planned it. She intended for it to be one of relaxation due to the tedius day she had had. Searching for a supposed crash meteor was not on her agenda, but the fact Rainbow Dash had claimed it to look “Mechanical” raised the Alicorn’s eyebrow.

Mechanical?  That was… strange. Twilight knew if it really was mechanical…

Then it was of extraterrestrial origin.

Upon becoming aware of that possibility, Twilight immediately grabbed her saddlebags and packed them for a journey into the Everfree, she would not jump to conclusions until she saw the object herself.

“Twilight! You can’t go out there! It’s gonna be dark soon and the Everfree is no place to be at night!” Rainbow Dash protested.

“I know it’s dangerous. But if my theory is right, I have to get to the site of impact as quickly as possible.” Twilight replied as she placed several scrolls and quills into the saddlebags, before reaching with her magic for the ink.

“And what theory is that?” Rainbow asked.

Twilight looked her pegasus friend in the eyes. “That this might be something big. Huge. Something that could shape all of Pony history from this day onward.” She replied.

“And you can’t wait till morning or contact the Princess?!” Rainbow demanded.

“No. This has to be done now and I don’t want to disturb Celestia in case I am wrong.” Twilight replied.

“Twilight, there is no way I’m letting you go in there alone, I’m going with you!” Rainbow insisted.

Twilight smiled. Rainbow represented the Element of Loyalty for a reason.

“Then go home and pack your own saddlebags if you need anything. I leave in 10 minutes.”

Their search through the Everfree for the next 50 or so minutes was done with little points of interest., for they were not finding anything, and it was getting frustrating for a certain rainbow maned pegasus, who was deeply considering voicing her objections. Thankfully Twilight had casted a silencing spell around her and Dash so no creatures would hear them, so they were safer than they would have been otherwise, but the downside of that was the glow of Twilight’s horn possibly attracting something.  It was their only source of light, so Twilight couldn’t give it up.

“Uhg, we’ve been out here for nearly an hour, and your egghead brain can’t find out where a stupid meteor crashed!” Rainbow snapped as she walked behind the Alicorn.

“I told you, Dash, I can’t be sure of where it landed, especially if I didn’t see it!” Twilight replied. “It was you who pointed me in this direction, remember?”

“Yeah, but I didn’t think you’d refuse to walk in any other direction for a whole hour, or be so determined to find this thing.” Rainbow retorted, stopping in her tracks.

Twiligh groaned before stopping as well. “I know you’re frustrated. I am too. But we have to keep moving, so we can find this object and find out-“ Twilight’s words caught in her throat, as her eyes widened, looking over Dash’s shoulder.

“What?” Dash asked, turning around. What she saw behind her  made her freeze completely in both terror and awe.

It was a tall, two legged metal… Thing.

It was by far the most intimidating thing Dash had seen in her young life. It could have easily stood eye-to-eye with Princess Celestia without even stretching to what Rainbow assumed was it’s full height. It’s legs were long and thin, while two apendeges from what she assumed to be it’s chest ended in five long and slender digits, and a cape was wrapped around it’s neck and flowing behind it while two glowing orbs in the head, that she assumed to be it’s eyes, twisted and turned in their sockets.

For a few monents, neither the ponies or metal behemoth moved or even made a sound, staring at eachother.

Until Rainbow Dash finally regained her voice.

“HOLY BUCK!”

Then pandemonium ensued.
