My Little Pony: The Star Wars

Poma walked beside Rainbow Dash and Twilight, using the Force to "see" his way around the area and detect threats, though none had appeared so far.

As a result, Poma relaxed his circuits and joints very slightly, so slightly only an expert in droid bodies and mechanics could have even possibly have noticed the release of tension in his body. But he still remained on high alert, as danger lurked around every corner, and he had to be prepared to fight at a moments notice.

Poma was generally a peaceful individual, but situations where he had to combat someone or something at very short notice had made him very observant, noting even the tiniest and most insignificant looking details he could see. This was due to the fact that in his existence he had faced Mandalorians, Rancors, Acklays, Sith Lords, Jedi, Clone and Storm Troopers, Battledroids, and even on one occasion a full-grown Sarlaac on Felucia.*

Poma almost didn't catch the ambush on time. Almost. Luckily for the ponies, he did catch it on time, albeit barely, and had enough time to Force Push them out of the ambusher's path.

When he spotted their assailants for the first time, he was taken by surprise, due to the mere appearance of the thing.

It was a canine made from wood. It was such an oddity that despite the droid's long history with aliens it gave him pause. How was this even possible?! What was this creature? How did it function? Did it have internal organs? A brain? Bones? All were unknowns.

Poma decided to find out the answers to these questions later. He had a local and royal to defend from this obviously predatory creature.

He was just reaching for his Lightsabers when suddenly, he sensed another one coming right for him, as a response he leaped into the air. While in the air his Lightsabers shot out of his back, before he grabbed and activated them, and brought both blades to slice at the nearest canine's head as he started to drop.

As Poma landed the blades sliced through the wood with ease, taking off the top part of the head and killing the creature instantly, before it fell to the ground smoldering, dead. Poma then performed a Lightsaber throw towards two more, decapitating one and impaling the other straight through the chest, killing them both.

As the Lightsaber came spinning back toward him, two more canines were approaching from his left and right, Poma was being flanked from both sides. As a result, he channeled the Force into the blade of his remaining saber and stabbed it into the ground, releasing the Force in a powerful shock wave that sent his assailants flying back into nearby trees that snapped them in half upon impact.

Two more approached him quickly, and as a response he clamped his foot around the head of one before tightening his clawed toes and squashing it like a melon, what looked like tree sap sprayed out if the head and ended up all over his foot.

Fascinating, he thought, they have tree sap-like bodily fluids.

With the other one approaching him, he swung the dead animal around and threw it at its live comrade, sending both careening outside of the clearing. His Lightsaber was flying back to him by the time he was ready to catch it.

He caught his second Lightsaber and faced down the remaining canine, the largest of the bunch, which he guessed was the Alpha Male. The Alpha was snarling at Poma in obvious fury for killing or gravely injuring his comrades, and the show of aggression didn't even make the droid do so much as twitch.

The two stared each other down for several long seconds, sizing the other up, preparing themselves.

Suddenly, without warning nor hesitation, at the exact same instant: The inevitable happened.

They lunged.

Twilight didn't have time to even make a sound of protest.

She didn't even have time to question WHAT it was that had pushed her away. All that she knew was that one second, they were alone, and the next, they weren't. But that was not the reason her jaw had nearly dislocated due to it being so slack.

No, the reason for that was the fact that Poma was engaged in combat, with 9 full grown timberwolves.

And he was massacring them. She watched as he mercilessly slaughtered them with the two glowing black swords he had taken from his back, she watched as he cut and slashed through the wolves like they were nothing but air, she watched in fascinated horror as he killed or gravely injured every single one that came for him. Her ears laid flat against her head as her eyes widened, as Poma crushed the skull of one of the timberwolves before throwing it at another. Rainbow Dash, however, was not so fortunate: She vomited upon the sight.

The two watched in both fascination and horror as Poma massacred the entire pack, before turning on the leader, both seemed to stare each other down

Then, without warning, both pounced at the exact same instant for each other.

And Poma brought his weapons down in an X, as they passed, leaving the Timberwolf Alpha to fall into four pieces as it died. With that, Poma deactivated and put away his weapons before facing the two ponies.

“Princess Twilight, Miss Dash, you are safe now.” He said.

“SAFE?!?” Dash yelled. “GET AWAY FROM US, YOU MONSTER!”

Poma looked at her. “Am I trully a monster for acting in self defense? They attacked first, I merely defended myself, do I not have that right?”

Dash couldn’t make herself respond, so Twilight spoke up. “Yes, you do, but killing them? That was a little… Harsh…” She said in a small voice.

“I apologize, I will attempt  to avoid killing, if I can.” Poma stated.

“I am afraid I am going to have to ask you to relinquish your weapons, I can’t let you carry them around in Ponyville, I… Don’t trust you with them.” Twilight said.

“With respect, Princess, no.” Poma said. “These weapons are powerful pieces of sophisticated and intricate machinery and technology, far beyond the comprehension of your scientific community, and if these were to fall into the wrong clutches the damage could be catostrophic.” He added.

“But-“ Twilight protested, before stopping herself and thinking. Hard. “Alright, if you swear to not use them unless absolutely necessary while in Ponyville, you may keep them.”

“You have my word.” Poma swore.

“Very well. We should almost be there, lets keep-“ Twilight started, before a sound cut her off. A whimper.

Poma turned his head towards a nearby bush, and used the Force to pull the source out of it, revealing a Timberwolf pup. “Oh dear.” He stated. He approached the pup, who cowered in fear, before taking off his cape and draping it over the young wolf and picking him or her up and cradling him. The show of affection warmed Twilight’s heart. So there was good in him.

“Let’s get him to my friend, Fluttershy, she takes care of animals like him all the time.” Twilight advised.

“Lead the way.” Poma stated.
