The Last Jedi Knightby Dark ObsidianChaptersExecute Order 66 (Revised)The Ways of the Jedi (Revised)Welcome to EquestriaRosebuds BloomingI Got a Bad Feeling About ThisOperation Jedi RescueLets See If This Ship Really Destroys StarsA Commendable VictoryA New Threat of the ForceExecute Order 66 (Revised)(A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.) (Space Battle over Kashyyyk) The battle around me was furious as multiple Separatist fighters streaked at me and my squadron of Republic Arc-170 starfighters known as "Green Squadron". Our mission was to bring down one of the final Separatist fleets over Kashyyyk, My Master and I just so happen to have been chosen to lead the mission. I am Eric Keteris, Jedi Knight of the Jedi Order and I had a great master to learn from and his name was Athan Charrel. I couldn't have thought to have a better Jedi to fight along side with, except perhaps Masters Skywalker and Kenobi. Anyways, being that he found and taught me throughout my entire Jedi training only gave me the perspective to be just like him, maybe better. "Alright boys, you know the drill, Destroy this fleet to free Kashyyyk. Lets see if we can break the record to destroy this fleet quicker." I said with competition in my voice. I remembered that it didn't take too long to destroy the last enemy fleet over Mygeeto. However, My wise master tends to restrain me a bit. "Now Eric, Lets not get too ahead of ourselves. You still tend to be a bit of a hotshot when it comes to flying." Athan spoke with his wisdom voice. "Yeah that's right, we'll need to leave you some since you take too long." I joked. "Very funny." He replied with his sarcasm as we raced in to the fight and taking down any fighters that challenged us. Even though I like to be in the heat of the action, I respected highly of Athan and what ever advice he provides. As I sped up my Eta-2 Actis class interceptor to meet with and follow him in our usual plan, Destroying the bridge and engines on the flagship while the rest of the squadron distracts the enemy fighters. "You ready, Master?" I asked over my headset and looking at his ship on my port side. "More than I'll ever be." He replied as we both opened up our throttles and with our blasters to annihilate the control center as we flew around the burning structure to dive in on the engines and opened up once more as they exploded out of service. The Y-wing bombers would now dive on the crippled vessel and deliver proton bombs to make quick work of the doomed ship. "Whoo, never gets old." I said with excitement. Looking back at the burning Separatist ship. "I agree, now lets pick off the remaining fighters and return to the ship." Athan said as we both dove on enemies. We began our attacks, shaking the droid fighters off our squadron's tails and to assist our allies, However I got a cold feeling brewing through my mind, a sense in the Force. My master then spoke to me. "I felt a disturbance in the force as if many Jedi are being wiped out." "I felt it too Master, but what are you talking about?" I asked looking concerned and confused. "Something is not right. We need to return to the ship now." Athan said as we headed for our Venator class Cruiser. Just as we were nearing the ship, Athan's theory was correct as a swarm of our allied Arc-170 Starfighters formed up behind us. Just then a transmission came in that I somehow intercepted. It showed a man in a dark cloak and looked like Chancellor Palpatine. His voice was low and raspy as he then spoke only three words. "Execute Order 66." The transmission ended and before I could think, The starfighters began to open fire upon me and my Master. We began evading and maneuvering the fire to shake them, but these men were one of the finest pilots I ever fought beside. Doing a quick snap roll, my starfighter responded quickly as I reversed my direction, giving me a chance and as much as I didn't want to, I fired on some of the Arc-170s and zoomed off quickly as I tried to help my master, who was in danger with 3 fighters on his six o clock. "Master I'm moving in to assist you." I said just before I could setup my attack, he quickly replied. "Negative, You need to go NOW!" "Not without you, master." I said defiantly. The thought of losing my master is devastating to even think about. "Please, You need to go and hide on some system they wouldn't think to look, Remember my young Padawan, The Force be with you always." Athan said calmly as I looked on to see the Arc-170s pummel my Master's starfighter until it exploded into a fireball. I felt brokenhearted that my master was killed, but now wasn't the time to feel bad, I had to get out quickly as some Arc-170s began to move in to attack me. I saw that if the droids could attack the Arcs, I could have a chance to escape. I started to batch-weave through some surviving Separatist ships, which continued to pummel the Republic cruisers and other vulture droids were trained on the Arc-170s, which were either shot down or broke off their attack from me. "I need to get out of here, but where to go?" I pondered my mind for any systems until I decided to just type one in. It was dangerous to just type in some random coordinates into the Navicomputer. You could crash into a star, a planet, a moon, or an asteroid. I quickly began to type in some random coordinates to a system in hopes to escape. Before I could finish, I was hit by an Arc-170 that was still on my tail and my left engine began to fail. I quickly made an evasive maneuver that caused him to overshoot and fired upon him as payback to my fallen master. I then punched the jump to hyperspace and left the Kashyyyk system and the battle with it. A wave of relief crashed on me, which was then replaced with sadness that I have lost my master to the traitors of the Republic. The soldiers we fought beside for years turned and betray us out of nowhere was uncomprehending. For all I know, almost every Jedi in the galaxy could be dead by the clones and that man in the black cloak on the transmission could be leading them all. While all these thoughts floated in my mind, My ship had just exited hyperspace and a small planet was visible. An atmospheric terrestrial planet with continents and oceans, a moon in orbit and hosts life being at a right distance from its sun. With the damage I've sustained, It was my only place to land safely. Taking the ship down closer to the planet, It seemed to be teeming with life and it didn't look familiar from all the star maps I've seen throughout the galaxy. "Well, At least I know no Separatist fleets have been here." I said with relief and proceeded to the life-filled planet. Entering the planet's atmosphere, My starfighter's stabilizer had failed, which caused an explosion on the left wing. It became difficult now to control the ship as it was now caught from the planet's gravity. The ship was engulfed in flames as I entered and fell faster when gravity started to act on the fighter as my other engines now begun fail. "This is not great." I thought I I tried to regain control of the fighter, but I was going too fast and soon the surface was rapidly approaching. Pulling hard back on the stick, the ship's front was slow to respond, but it was raised high enough to avoid slamming into the ground and exploding. I then crash landed in some dense forest. My face smacked against the panel as the starfighter skidded along the ground at an extreme speed, cutting down trees that were in the way and scaring off animals until the ship finally grinds to a halt. Smoke and fire emit from my now wrecked ship and the front seemed to dip into the ground, but not by much. I slowly recovered from my face-plant the force wasn't too hard to do any real damage, but it still hurt a lot. I opened up the canopy and stepped on the ground of this new world. The forest looked dark and dense, sunlight hardly pierced the treetop cover making it seem as if it was night all the time. "What is this place? I don't recall this planet on a map from what I've seen?" I asked myself looking around the forest and went into the cockpit to grab the 3 items I had in the ship; My lightsaber, My DL-18 blaster pistol, and a pendant my mother gave me before I left to become a Jedi. It was known that Jedi don't really use blasters, but I've been secretly training with the clones if I ever was in a situation where a blaster could save my life. Packing my weapons in their holsters and my pendant in my pocket, I started to survey the damage of my starfighter, Upon examination through the burn marks from the entry in the atmosphere, the engines and stabilizers were damaged from the skirmish. Along with the weapons system being offline and the navicomputer fried from the crash. Having no tools or anything to repair the ship, the next thing I needed to do was find some kind of civilization or colony to gather the tools I required. I guess the only way to know is to go and find out for myself, but It whether it was the dim sunlight or not, it was getting late. "I might as well set up camp for the night. Then I'll go and gather what I need first thing in the morning." I said to myself as I went to gather some firewood. (Golden Oaks Library, Ponyville) As Twilight, Spike, Rarity, Applejack, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie were dusting off some books from the shelves in the library. Tedious as it might be, Twilight's friends knew how much she cared for her love of books and don't mind helping her keep them in good condition. "Thank you all again for helping me take care of these books." Twilight said, looking back at her friends and smiled. "It's not a problem darling" Rarity replied feather dusting one book. Then all of a sudden, the door burst open. The ponies screamed from the unexpected surprise and saw that standing in front of them was there athletic friend Rainbow Dash looking very exhausted from how fast she came in. "Woah Hello Rainbow, what`s the rush?" Twilight asks curiously and startled from her abrupt entry. "Yeah, yah look like yah saw some ghost?" Applejack added. The others looked in worry from Rainbow's heaving breathing. Rainbow Dash had some trouble getting words out, but once she calmed down a little, she explained to the others what she had seen. "Something fast came out of nowhere and crashed into the Everfree Forest, it appeared as some small bird but was smoking from behind. It was like nothing I've ever seen." Her friends were puzzled and equally concerned about what they heard. "Are you sure it was a bird, the poor thing must be hurt." Fluttershy said with a little sadness. "No, it was not a bird, it looked like one but it didn't flap its wings." Rainbow pointed out which left Fluttershy relieved, but gained interest from Twilight, who was mentally contemplating about it. "Maybe it was a UFO from space." Pinkie sprang out and smiled. "Now that's ridiculous, there is nothing in the wide world of Equestria that an alien of some kind would just.." Rarity said before getting cut off. "Actually Rarity, there could be a possibility and I for one want to see and study it, maybe it is friendly." Twilight said with a smile forming. "Then this could mean I will be the first pony to discover a new species beyond Equestria!" She beamed at the possibilities and making her mentor, Princess Celestia very proud. "So what are we waiting for, lets find this thing and see what it wants." Rainbow said determined to locate this offworlder. "Fine, but if it ain't too friendly, we send it back ta where it came from." Applejack said as the ponies headed off on their adventure to the Everfree Forest to find the alien. (Eric`s POV) With my camp set up near my wrecked starfighter, I was eating some of the berries I forged earlier while sitting next to the fire. As I was eating some of the berries, it was quite dark out with an occasional wolf howl from within the forest and I began thinking of how the clones would betray us after years of working together. "It just doesn`t seem right, why would they suddenly turn on us?" I thought when a bush rustled from nearby with a few voices. I readied my blaster in case things got out of hand and asked. "Who's there, show yourself!" Then a purple pony as high as my abdomen approached me followed by five others. The purple one was the first to speak. "Hello there, can you understand me?" I wasnt surprised that equines can speak since most of the planets Ive been had aliens could talk so I wouldn't be freaking out. "I understand you clearly, Are you inhabitants of this planet?" I asked. "We are and if I may ask, what are you and whats that thing over there?" She motions my starfighter. "I am Eric Keteris, Jedi Knight of the Republic." I replied and extended my hand. Twilight seemed to hesitate at first but takes my hand and we both shook. "So what in the hay is a Jed-." The orange pony asked before she was cut off by a sound of snarls from nearby. I looked around and saw a few eyes appear and emerging toward the camp was a wolf-like creature made of wood and a Lion, Scorpion, and Bat creature. With faces that defined predators I saw the ponies terrified expressions with fear that then changed to battle-ready. A large wolf pounced first toward the ponies, but exploded as the purple unicorn shot a beam toward it. I was quite impressed, but there was still three more wolves and three more of the lion-scorpion-bat creatures to deal with. "What are these things?" I asked. "Manticores and Timberwolves, very violent and aggressive creatures that live here." The Rainbow pegasus replied while kicking a manticore in its face. Then the yellow pegasus was flanked by two Timberwolves and were ready to pounce as I used the force to stop them in mid air and force them to collide with one another, which resulted them to explode into splinters. "How in Equestria were you able to do that?" The white pony asked. "I`d like to tell you, but perhaps in a better environment, when this little skirmish is over." I brought up a good point and the ponies nodded and another five Timberwolves appeared. I then decided to pull out my blaster pistol and fired two rounds at an incoming Manticore in its face, which caused it to die. The ponies were fought off the Timberwolves until they were nothing but woodchips as I dealt with the last Manticore by firing a single shot in its head. But as the battle seemed to be over a large Timberwolf emerged to the fight and was obvious that he was the Alpha due to some scratches and scars on his body. It roared loudly at me in particularly and seemed to be focused on me. "So you want to go, fine Lets dance toothpick." I said as I fired a few rounds from my blaster, which did little to no damage and only left blast marks where I hit. The Alpha roared once more and with a quick swipe it knocked my blaster out of my hand and sent me tumbling to the ground. The ponies gasped as it seemed to have hurt. It did but it wasn`t enough to keep me down for long. I got up slowly to pulled out my lightsaber and activate it with a blue blade. I got in my battle stance awaiting the wolf`s attack with a stern look. The Alpha howled and lunged at me for a pounce, I quickly jumped in the air and landed on his back where I jabbed my lightsaber inside of it. The Alpha howled in pain and tried to shake me off, but I pulled out my lightsaber to get down to its hind-legs and quickly sliced them off in a swift motion. The Alpha toppled to the ground and groaned in pain as it looked at me as I stood in front of him and decapitated the wolf`s head. I deactivated my lightsaber and put it back on my waist to turn and see the ponies surprised. "No pony has never taken down an Alpha Timberwolf!" The purple unicorn stated. "Not even mah Granny has heard tales about anypony taking down a Timberwolf that size, It seemed impossible." The orange pony added. "How in Equestria were you able to do all those stunts." The White unicorn asked. "How about I tell you after we leave this forest, I fear we might run into some more unwanted guests." I pointed out and the ponies agreed. "Follow us and wel lead you back to Ponyville. Then you can tell us how you are able t do all that cool stuff." The rainbow pony said. I didnt want to leave my ship behind, so I used the force once more to raise the ship and carry it back to this "Ponyville". Author's Note Hello ponies and bronies, Golden here with a new Idea that came into my mind and in hopes of becoming a huge success like A Second Chance. It won`t be as long as A Second Chance, but it will be as cool and an early celebration for the release of Star Wars Episode VII. This is only but the pilot and if it does well, then Ill continue. Be sure to Like, Comment, Favorite, and Follow me and til next time, Ill see you all later. The Ways of the Jedi (Revised)(Golden Oaks Library, Equestria) After a what felt like an eternity of keeping my strength to hold my starfighter as we emerged from the dark forest to see that we had finally arrived at the settlement of Ponyville. Since it was night so the ponies must have been asleep and it was important to not raise any kind of panic since this planet never appeared to be introduced to any life forms beyond their system. Including the fact they have not mastered any form of space travel or intergalactic communications to render them completely isolated from the rest of the Galaxy. We then arrive to a tree which appeared to be a Library on the inside. I put my starfighter behind the tree to at least give myself a chance to rest and relaxed a little on a chair. Using the force to hold objects heavier than your own body weight will require much strength and concentration. "Excuse me, Eric was it?" The White unicorn asked. I nodded and she proceeded. "We all want to thank you for saving us from the horrid beasts." "Yeah, Thanks a bunch partner." The orange pony finished off. "You are most welcome." I gave a smile as I then said. "We never had a proper introduction since you know who I am but I don't know who you are." "Oh yes, I'm Twilight Sparkle." The purple one started and pointed to her friends. "This is Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Fluttershy, and Rainbow Dash." "Pleasure to make your acquaintances." I smiled once more. I never really had friends except my master who I'd call a friend since we've been together for a long time, It was good to have someone or somepony in this case to have your back. "Yah never really did answer mah question earlier, What is a Jedi?" Applejack asked as she never got a definitive answer. "Well, a Jedi is suppose to be the peacekeepers of the Galaxy, sworn to protect and help other systems." I answered. "We fight for freedom and security for all." "But what was the thing of moving things without magic?" Twilight popped in. "And the laser things?" Fluttershy asked timidly. I hunched over and began explaining. "I move objects without magic by using the 'force', Its an energy field that gives a Jedi it's power, It binds us, penetrates us, and binds the Galaxy together. There are 2 main aspects, the Light and Dark sides. The Light side the facet aligned with compassion, selflessness, self-knowledge and enlightenment, healing, mercy and benevolence, while the dark side of the Force was the element aligned with hatred, fear, covetousness, anger, aggression, jealousy and malevolence." I pulled out my blaster and lightsaber, laying them on the table. "Now this is the main weapon of the Jedi, The Lightsaber. This is a Jedi's most distinct weapon, it is able to slice through any kind of surface and object. As for this blaster here, It is my side weapon. Its not really a common weapon among st the Jedi, but I only use it on certain targets." This answered some but raised more questions like "How are Jedi trained?" or "Where did this all start?" As a Youngling, I learned the basics from Master Yoda til I was a Padawan, When I worked with Master Athan as I grew up with more discipline and control for me to become a Jedi Knight. I even got a chance to learn about the pony society, economy, and the history. It would be important for me to learn this If I`m going to be staying here now that the Republic has betrayed the Jedi Order. "So how does this Lightsaber work exactly?" Twilight asked. I set down my lightsaber on the table, got into my meditation posture, and closed my eyes as I focused on taking apart my lightsaber. It complied well and the blade was lifted up a few feet before disassembling itself, followed by a few gasps of amazement. When I was finally done, I held out the blue lightsaber crystal that powered my blade. "This crystal is the heart of the lightsaber, I was on the Adega system to recover this and build my lightsaber." I showed the crowd who seemed to like the crystal. Then a small purple creature came by and looked at the crystal with hungry eyes and a mouthwatering smile. "Hey, you gonna eat that?" It spoke as it was pleading for the crystal. "This is an important crystal to me and I can't eat crystals." I answered. "Spike, this is our new guest, Eric. Eric this is Spike, My #1 Assistant." Twilight introduced as we shook hand and claw. "Pleasure." I said as I then asked. "So what creature are you?" "I`m a dragon and sorry about earlier, I usually eat crystals and gems." Spike explained with a sheepish expression. "No harm done Spike." I smiled as I reassembled my lightsaber piece by piece and activated it to show the blue bladed light sword. "There are various colors to a lightsaber, Blue meaning Bravery, Green meaning Wisdom, Red meaning Aggression, and Yellow meaning Spying." I explained as Twilight has been writing down notes. "So you said it could cut up any surface? Why not prove it." Rainbow Dash acted like how I was a Youngling, Competitive and arrogant. She laid down a few items like a gem, a boulder and one of them being some sort of gold armor.(How`d she get it all in here, I will never know). I accepted this challenge and tossed an item in the air and with one swing, it got cut including the Gold armor. "OK you proved your point, but enough about the lightsaber, what about your ship outside?" Rainbow jumped to another subject. But judging how late it was, I was tired from both the mission and the earlier attack. "I`ll talk about it tomorrow, but right now it seems to be late and I need my rest." The ponies then realized how late it was and nodded in acceptance. "Alright, well see you tomorrow, Darling." Rarity waved off. "Sleep well." Fluttershy peeped still shy from me. "See yah later sugarcube." Applejack finished as the door closed and Twilight, Spike and I were left. "So I`ll send a letter to the Princess about your arrival and if you like, you can sleep on my bed." Twilight offered, but not wanting to take advantage of her hospitality. "No, No please, Ill sleep on the sofa, you take your bed and you cant change my mind." I said making it final. "OK then, well good night." Spike said as the two left upstairs as I got comfortable on the couch. But looking at my pendant, I remembered all the good times I had on my homeworld, at least before the CIS took control and killed my mother, before I was rescued by my future master. A tear escaped remembering and a new question came, how will I explain the war and the Clone`s betrayal to the Jedi? I could only think, but as my blue blade represented me as Truth, I needed to tell them, eventually. (Senate Building, Coruscant) As the busy city in Coruscant bustled about and the Jedi Temple burning along with the history of Jedi with it, A man in a large black cloak sits in his chair overlooking whats left of the Old Republic, Chancellor Palpatine was no more, but was no other than Darth Sidious; Master of Count Dooku and the new master of Darth Vader. A door opens and a clone commander walks in and kneels before his new emperor. "My lord." "Status report on the Jedi Casualties?" Sidious asks in a raspy voice since he was recently attacked by Mace Windu. "More than 90% of the Jedi are gone, My lord others have fled and are going into hiding." The Commander responds. Sidious rises from his chair and walks around a little as he speaks. "Good, but I want all the Jedi wiped out Padawans, Masters, Knights, and Younglings, all of them. Sooner or later, They will band together to try and defeat the Empire Im now creating. Now Commander, I want the Jedi wiped out and leave no survivors. Ill send a few Inquisitors to assist you, but if you fail me." Sidious pauses and reveals his lightsaber and activates it. "It will be your undoing." "Yes my lord." The Commander replies as he leaves the room as Sidious deactivates his lightsaber and begins to view outside Coruscant once more as a new fleet of Star Destroyers loomed overhead, marking the beginning of the Galactic Empire. Author's Note Hello ponies and bronies Golden here, saying Ive had a wonderful time attending my Dads College Graduation and receiving his Bachelors in Science of Aeronautics in Corpus Christi. So now that Im back I`m excited to bring out more chapters to this story and A Second Chance. If you enjoyed, Like, Favorite, Comment, and Follow me and til next time, I`ll see you all later. Welcome to EquestriaAfter waking from a well rested slumber, I smelled food being cooked and it smelled delicious. I headed over to the source and saw Twilight and Spike cooking up some breakfast. "Oh, Good morning Eric, Sleep well?" Twilight asked. "Fine, Thank you, is Breakfast almost ready?" I responded with a question of hunger. "Yeah, In about a minute or so." Spike replied struggling to hold a large plate of hotcakes. "Allow me to help." I spoke and used the force to levitate the plate from Spike to the table. "Thank man." Spike replied. I nodded as we all sat down and began eating. After breakfast, I helped out by cleaning the kitchen and as Spike had to head out to meet this 'Big Mac' for hoofball, It was their form of sport like many others from the systems I`ve visited. Then Twilight spoke. "Hey Eric, Last night I sent a letter to the Princesses and they have agreed to come to Ponyville and see you, isnt it exciting?" Twilight seemed enthusiastic about this, but I was already beyond excited since Ive met Kings, Queens, and Princes, and Princesses from other systems, but still it was good to meet the rulers of the planet. "When will they be arriving?" I asked. "Soon, but my other friends will be here as well, we`d like to know as much of your travels to distant planets and your ship." Twilight responded with happiness. And almost as if this was somehow planned from the start, a knocking at the door was heard. Twilight goes to answer and finds her other 5 friends entering and saying hello to me and her, Also following in were two larger ponies with both wings and a horn, but one was white with a rainbow mane and tail, and the other was midnight blue with a mane that seemed to be made of stars. "You must be the Jedi Twilight has written to me about, I am Princess Celestia." The larger one started. "And I am Luna, Pleasure to make you acquaintance." The smaller one finished. As all the other Jedi would have done, I went up to them and bowed myself. "Your majesties, It is an honor." "So please tell us, Is there other planets beyond Equestria?" Luna asked. "Yes Your Highness, There are multiple planets in the galaxy and I believe I do have a map in my ship if it survived the crash." I replied as they followed me out and around the library to see my damaged starfighter. I opened the canopy and be to search for the star map as the ponies looked at the ship and were impressed. "So this hunk of metal can fly faster than me?" Rainbow asked with jealousy. "Yes, because there is a certain system that allows me to to jump from planet to planet called a Hyper Drive which allows me to enter Hyperspace." I explained and rattle off about how it operated until I finally found the map. "Ah here we are." I set the device down and it activated showing the galaxy with the planets, stars, and asteroids. "I think I`ve found inspiration for my next line." Rarity said as she stared at the map and Twilight, Luna and Celestia seemed even more fascinated since they were interested in astronomy. "I never knew there could be so many different planets." Twilight stated. "You know, when Im up in space, its actually like a beautiful night you never want to leave." I said which pretty much sparked up the Lunar Princess to give a smile like a Youngling when he received his first lightsaber. I knew this since all organisms sleep during the night and she feels as if no one cares, but I for one adore the night since it provides inspiration to those who seek it. "I`m glad a being such as yourself finds the night fascinating, its just that nopony has really said that about the nights I provide before." Luna apologized as I gave her a warm smile to know that there was no harm done. "Its quite alright, but back to the map, you can see all these systems, but one in particular is my home world of Balmorra." I pointed and the image enhanced to show the planet at a closer view. "So if thats your home planet, Why did you leave in the first place?" Celestia asked. I feared this question and the memories of the past Ive had with the reason I joined the Jedi Order, But now is a good time as any tell them the true story of Eric Keteris. "The truth is that it all started when I was only a young man living with my mother and never really knowing where my father was. During that time, a group known as the Separatist was growing into a threat across the galaxy. It was one fateful day that changed everything when the Separatist invaded my home planet and battle droids wiped out my city, the people and even my own mother. I too was about to be killed until I was able to use the force and was rescued by a Jedi, who would soon be my master and took me to a planet called Coruscant where I trained to become a Jedi." I sighed afterwards then continued. "I was a quick learner and it took only a year for me to earn Padawan and fought with the Republic to avenge my world and mother, But after the Battle of Mandalore, I earned Jedi Knight and when the Liberation of Kashyyyk was underway, a message or more like an order was given to the clones to betray and kill the Jedi, including my Master and I. Which is why I crashed here." The ponies were shocked at this and never knew about this war since they have never been informed about this, My guess was that their planet was far away somewhere in the outer rim that no ship has ever attempted to arrive here. "I'm so sorry about what happened on your world and for what treachery these clones have committed, but you are safe here in Equestria and we`ll be more than happy to help you to what you require." Luna said before smiling warmly. "Thank you." Was all I said before deactivating the map and looking at my totaled starfighter. "But you wouldn`t happen to have tools I can borrow?" "I'll get yah some from mah farm, be back in a bit." Applejack said as she trotted down to her farm. "And speaking of which, I need to complete an order for Hoity Toity later, I'll see you all later." Rarity second as Fluttershy had to tend to her animals, Rainbow on weather patrol, and Pinkie on a party she planned later today. The Princesses and Twilight stayed to learn about the Clone Wars, how clones and droids were produced, and how my master Athan and I were more like family than Master and Apprentice. "This was very interesting and fascinating to learn about your culture, but Luna and I must return to Canterlot to fulfill our duties. Please feel free to stop and visit sometime." Princess Celestia said as she charged her horn and were gone in a flash. Spending almost the entire morning talking about myself, I asked Twilight some more things about the pony society that I never quite understood like cutie marks and the Elements of Harmony. A knocking on the door was heard. "Allow me." I humbly said as I opened the door to see Applejack with tools around her back. "I got them tools yah needed, will they work?" She asked. "I grabbed two in my hands and looked before responding. "Yes, these will work fine." I then got outside with the two mares following me as I began to inspect the damaged engines on my starfighter. After an hour, it came time to test the engines. "Alright, here goes." I hoped they start. I pressed the ignition and with a few sputters from the engines they were finally successful in a roar to life. We all cheered in the success and turned off the starfighter. "Glad you got your ship working." Twilight said with glee. "I should be thanking Applejack here for the tools I needed." I turned my attention to the orange mare as she blushed a little. "Aw Shucks, it was nothin at all." She tried to be modest. With all the time left with nothing else to do, I see no reason why to explore the town of Ponyville. "Excuse me Twilight, but I think I`d like to explore this lovely town of yours." I said politely. "Oh of course, Your more than welcome to go off into Ponyville." Twilight responds. "Thank you, Ill be back soon." I responded as I headed into the town and make a few new friends if this is where Im going to be staying while hiding from the Fallen Republic. But if they do find Equestria, they`ll have to got through me to conquer this planet. Author's Note Hello ponies and bronies, Golden here and finally done with another chapter and before I sign off here I just want to say that Im surprised for a little fun project like this story, it has become quite popular and Im still surprised you guys are enjoying this, so Id like to thank you for the support, but I still have my first story 'A Second Chance' to work on so Ill try my best to find time to update both stories. Also with the holidays coming soon and my Semester Exams next week, I do need time to study so some chapters may be later than others and I hope it doesnt come down to it. Also if you look in the galaxy map, Im issuing a little contest to find Eric`s homeworld and first to do so will decide the next chapter. But overall if you enjoyed Like, Comment, Favorite, and Follow and til next time I`ll see you all later. Rosebuds BloomingI was walking through Ponyville after giving information about the Jedi Order and such and went off to enjoy the day and getting to know the place and maybe make some new friends. So far Ive seen places like a spa, Carousel Boutique, Sugarcube Corner, Sweet Apple Acres, and Town Hall. The residence in the town however, were quite wary of me and hid inside their homes since they havent seen anyone like me before and are quite afraid that I might attack them. I simply showed that I was harmless by walking up to a food stand with apples in it. "Excuse me, but may I ask where the pony running this stand is at so I may purchase an apple?" I asked aloud to see if anypony responded. Sure enough Applejack appeared from behind the stand like she had been back there the whole time. "Howdy Eric, Looking at some apples?" The orange mare asked. "Ah yes, I did get a bit hungry and I was hoping I could get a bite to eat." I replied looking at the various apples in an assortment of flavors. I picked up a Red Delicious and said. "I`d like this one please." But with a simple push from her hoof. "Please, that one is on the house, enjoy Eric." I was elated, but I thought about their economy for a moment that they have small gold coins they call 'bits' instead of the galaxy currency of credits. But not wanting to argue I went along with it. "Thank you Applejack, have a pleasant day." I waved good bye and taking a bite out of my fruit. Soon some ponies seemed to ease up a little and come out knowing that I was harmless, which made me feel good now they don`t see me as a monster. I then thought about my time with the Republic and how I had a little droid companion with me, R7-I32. But was sadly sacrificed himself after saving me for me to escape a burning Separatist cruiser. An honorable droid he was and forever in my heart, he shall be. "I bet Fluttershy has some sort of pet I could have." With that decision in mind, I made way to her cottage that was atop of a little hill outside of Poyville. Upon arrival, I saw the pegasus feeding a bunny a carrot when she saw me. "Oh, Hello Eric, nice to see you." "Its nice to see you as well, I was beginning to think about owning a pet of my own, you wouldnt happen to have any would you?" I asked and with this, I couldnt describe how happy she was and started to introduce me to alot of her animal friends from bunnies to snakes to otters and bears. But I needed a pet that was like my master, wise and someone I can treat like family. I looked at many animals and Fluttershy smiled as I was having a little difficulty finding a pet sutible for me, when I saw it; A baby owl. The baby owl seemed to be about a few months old and able to fly, He also had brown and white feathers and yellow and black eyes. I picked up the owl gently and he began nuzzling my cheek and hopped on my shoulder. Fluttershy couldn`t help but 'Aww' at the sight. "It seems you found your perfect pet Eric." "It seems so, I do thank you for your help Fluttershy." I said extending my hand. "It was nothing, just happy to help." Fluttershy replied by shaking my hand. "Well see you soon." We waved off each other and I started to walk back to the Library as I began to think of a name for my companion, who for some reason keeps disappearing when I struck an idea. "So what should I call you? Hoodini?" I asked the owl as it hooted happily. "Hoodini it is." We agreed, but a scream from within the Everfree Forest was heard and it sounded like a mare was in trouble. "Hoodini, fly overhead and help me locate who`s in trouble." I ordered him and Owlton flew off into the forest with me to follow. Running as quick as I could, Hoodini swooped down to me and lead me into the direction of the scream, and sure enough we found 4 Timberwolves. The mare had a pale yellow coat, raspberry mane with light raspberry streaks, chartreuse green eyes, and a cutie mark of a rose. She was quivering with fear as the wolves moved in for the kill, I didn`t have my blaster with me and ordered Hoodini to get out of the battle ground. As the one of the wolves then pounced to attack the mare, I force-pushed him into a tree and killed him. The wolves looked at each other in confusion until I leapt in front of them and the mare. "You want this mare, you`ll have to go through me." I said with a menacing glare as the wolves snarled in response. I jumped up over the wolves and they watched my movement when I had my back turned. Another wolf tried to ambush me, but met a horrible fate when I activated my lightsaber and stabbed it through his head as I lifted it off the ground and flung it to the other side as my blade slipped out. The two remaining wolves circled around me like sharks to a dying fish. I watched their movements carefully until one pounced for me to quickly jump over it, causing him to overshoot. But like the sneaky creatures they are, the other wolf took advantage and nabbed my left leg. Shaking me violently and teeth slowly sinking in, I needed to get out fast. I then jabbed my lightsaber into the wolf`s eye and exploded. The bite left 2 large bite marks in my leg and I was bleeding fast, but not severely. The last wolf saw I was injured and thought of an easy kill as he ran at me. Though I could hardly stand, I still sensed the wolf`s approach and put my lightsaber in front of me. The wolf then pounced and lunged at me where I pulled my blade in his direction. Like the fool it was, My lightsaber severed the wolf in half from head to tail and fell in two large pieces before exploding. After the battle was won with all the timberwolves dead, I deactivated my lightsaber and looked at my wound again to see it bleed out and turned to the mare I rescued. "Please take me to a hospital." Was all I said before blacking out. (Roseluck`s POV) I was in the Everfree Forest to find some wild roses for a special bouquet for a costumer, when all of a sudden I heard some growling nearby. I ignored it at first, but it wasn`t until 4 Timberwolves emerged from the forest with hungry eyes. I screamed for help in hopes of somepony to rescue me, but it seemed lost when the wolves were about to attack me. I was really scared to know that I may never see my friends or Ponyville again, but as a wolf was about to do me in and I awaited my painful end, all I heard was a yelp and explosion. I looked over to see the wolf in splinters and a creature above me. "If you want this mare, you`ll have to go through me." The creature said and the wolves snarled. The creature jumped over the wolves and killed one of them with his light sword when a wolf pounced on him. The battle was intense since he is risking his life for mine which was really nice and somewhat romantic like how a knight in armor will battle a foul beast for the lovely maiden in distress. But as it seemed he was winning, The wolves pulled off a smart tactic where one wolf was a distraction and the other attacked my savior. I was shocked and watched in horror as the wolf shook the creature by holding his leg in his mouth. I actually though he might lose his leg, but the creature jabbed his sword into the wolf`s eye and exploded. I was relieved and my savior ended the last wolf. I was happy to know my savior saved me and I wanted to tell him how thankful I was, but he only turned around and said. "Please take me to a hospital." and collapsed. I was scared and hoped he didn`t die and then I saw his leg injury and how bad it was. Without a second to waste, I tried to stop the bleeding from his leg. I found a few sticks and tore some cloth from his clothes to make a little gauze and lifted him on my back and ran as quick as I could to the Ponyville hospital. I ran through town with some ponies looking at us, but paid no attention to them as I finally entered the hospital seeing Nurse Redheart and Doctor Horse. "Please help, he saved me from a timberwolf attack and took a severe injury in his leg!" I cried out as the paramedics quickly got a bed out and began to stabilize him. "Dont worry Rose, We havent lost a patient yet. Thank you for getting him here." Nurse Redheart assured me and left to help out the creature. I only stood in the lobby thinking about how he managed to defeat 4 timberwolves singlehandedly. I didn't know why but I actually found him quite....cute Author's Note HelloPonies and Bronies, Obsidian here and I want to say that next week will be my Semester Exams will be a force to be reckoned with and I have little room for error, so I wont post until next weekend. With nothing left to say but, if you enjoyed, Like, Comment, Favorite, and Follow and Ill see you all next time. I Got a Bad Feeling About This(Ponyville Medical Center) Emerging back into consciousness after blacking out from the blood loss from my leg, I found myself in a comfortable bed in a white room where Im also hooked up to some wires. Im grateful for the pony who I rescued from the forest, returned the favor and saved me. I looked down at my leg to see it completely healed, but there were two scars to where the bite marks from the wolf were more severe. I was snapped out of my thoughts when I heard the door opening to reveal my friends, the nurse (Given by her little nurse`s hat.) and the pony I rescued. "He should be able to leave and if it wasn`t for your healing spell Twilight, We would have amputated his leg." The nurse spoke to Twilight. "It was nothing." Twilight replied as she then saw me awake. "Eric, your up!" The ponies all gathered around me as I couldn`t help but smile. "Are you feeling well, darling?" Rarity asked. "I`m more then well, I feel great thanks to Twilight, the medical staff, and that pony over there." I pointed at the mare with the rose cutie mark as she sheepishly smiled and blushed. "Oh you mean Roseluck, yeah she told us what happened and that was some pretty hardcore stuff dude." Rainbow swooped in low. "Yeah sugarcube and if yah ask me, I wasnt really sure if I could trust yah at first, but the way you saved Rose made me see that yah really are a good pon-er person, I thank yah for everything youve done." Applejack said taking off her stetson hat and looking down, I was to elated to hear that Applejack say those words and for that I could call her more than a friend, in fact I could call all these ponies more than friends, Best friends. "All I can say is that I`m really happy that you all care this much about a being you barely know and treat him so kindly, I believe I can call you all more than my friends." The ponies cheered at this, especially Pinkie Pie who was even more excited and went on about planning some party for me. Roseluck however seemed a little troubled, even when I could since some fear within her through the force. We all heard the door open to reveal the nurse. "Excuse me, Mr. Eric, You are free to leave, you just need to stop by the lobby and sign some paper work." The nurse said. "Thank you miss, I`ll be there in a minute." I replied and she soon left. "So we`ll see you in the lobby." Fluttershy said as she and the others left and said they will see me at the lobby, well all except Roseluck. As I unhooked the wires and slowly got up the bed, I asked. "So Roseluck, I wish to thank you for saving me and if I may ask, How long was I out?" "I-It was nothing, You`ve only been out for a day." She answered a little afraid, but I knew she was hiding something. I went to pursue, but I had to keep it subtle. I began putting on my Jedi Knight attire. "I-I also wanted to thank you for saving me from those Timberwolves yesterday." "I think I should say the same thing for saving my life." As I finished putting my lightsaber on my waist belt. "I also sense some fear coming toward you, is there something you wish to tell me?" This perked up Roseluck and given by her blush, I caught her in a corner. "Ok, When I first saw you and helped me, I felt something like you being the knight to save the maiden in distress. I really like you even if we`ve only met and an entirely different species as I, but I really like thatImayactuallybeinlove." She stopped immediately and gasped at the wordand became frantic to take back what she said. I simply put a finger on her mouth to stop her and replied calmly. "Now calm down Roseluck, I understand you may have doubts with a future relationship with me and that it may never seem to work out, but let me tell you something. I knew this clone named Cut Lawquane on Saleucami, who survived a Separatist attack earlier in the war and he married another being from his own. He is now the father of 2 children and maintains a farm. Now if that one clone can be happy even if he`s married to another being from his own, than whats stopping you from doing so?" "I thought other ponies wuld see us and think it`s weird, but all I care about is you and I want to help be there for you." She replied and I knew her heart was in the right place and meant what she said, so without another word to be said, I simply leaned in for a kiss on the mare. I could tell she blushed in surprise but soon gave into the kiss. Once I broke away, we smiled at one another. "So let`s meet he rest of our friends and get out of here." I said as we left into the lobby. We were greeted by our friends and I signed the paperwork to release me from the hospital. Afterwards we all strolled into the town and talked, but Roseluck and I were going to keep our little connection a secret until the party Pinkie was planning later. All of a sudden, I felt something within the force the hate, the anger, and the feeling of some kind of sith. "That`s strange, I thought aloud and ponies looked up in worry. "What seems to be the matter, darling?" Rarity asks first. "I feel something within the force, something bad." I explained and my feelings were correct as a shadow embedded across the town. We looked up to see a massive starship. It wasn`t Separatist or Republic ship, but I had a feeling it was much worse. "What is that?" Twilight asked with worry. "Im not sure, but I have a feeling were about to find out." I pointed at a small shuttle flying from the ship. The shuttle landed near Townhall and we all went to investigate. Upon arrival and peeking out from behind a building, we saw 6 white soldiers that werent the clones I fought beside followed by 2 officer like men and the one I sense, the sith. Just the Princesses Celestia and Luna arrive, given from the ship looming over 10,000 feet above the ground. "What is thou business here?" Luna spoke in some old English accent. "We simply arrive for some Jedi that we believe is in hiding of this planet, Either hand him over to us or the Empire will invade your planet." The officer replied harshly. The Princesses were disgusted by this and I felt myself in a dire situation, where I must turn myself over to save this planet. "What are we going to do?" Roseluck said with worry. With only one thing to do, I had to turn myself in. "I must go." "What?!" The ponies quietly screamed. "I must, I want to protect you and this planet." I said but they protested. "But, what if they kill you?" Twilight inputted. "Or Take you away?" Roseluck finished. "Listen I know its bad, but do you really think your up for a fight with blasters that can kill?" it was a logical point since they havent been introduced to the warfare technology weve had in the clone wars. But they put their heads down and looked sad as I made my way to the Empire. "I`m the Jedi you seek." I said to them as they all looked at me and activated my lightsaber to support myself as not a fraud. "Ah so you were right, Ma`am." The officer spoke to the sith. "I knew youd would try to hide forever." The sith smiled as I took a defensive stance. "Ill do my best to defend this world, but if it means giving myself up, then so be it." I replied and deactivated my lightsaber. "My master will be pleased with this, Restrain him and bring him to the ship." The sith ordered and the troopers restrained me, took my lightsaber and headed me onto the ship. The Princesses were speechless as everyony else watched as the shuttle flew back to the ship. Author's Note Hello Ponies and Bronies, Obsidian here to say that it was really fun writing this little pet project and how it became popular so fast and I just wanted to say thank you for those who have been supporting it from the beginning.

Operation Jedi Rescue(The Imperial Star Destroyer above Equestria) After boarding the shuttle that flew to the ship looming over the land, I was escorted to the bridge like a prisoner of war with troopers surrounding me and one had my lightsaber on his belt. Once on the Bridge a few officers glared at me and left leaving me, 2 troopers, and the sith alone in a transmission room. The transmitter activated to reveal a sith lord whom Id never seen before. "Inquisitor Offee, Is this the Jedi?" He asked the Sith now known as the Inquisitor. "Yes Lord Vader, he didn`t put up a fight but we have him." The Inquisitor replied as something in my mind clicked, when he said Offee, I thought of Barriss Offee, A Jedi traitor to the Republic for thinking Jedi were the real enemy. "Good, we will use him to track Kenobi and other lost Jedi." Vader said as I intervened. "Ill never help you, I dont even know where the other Jedi are." But my words fell to deaf ears as Vader continued, "You may interrogate him, but of he reveals nothing, Bring him to me and I`ll deal with him myself." Vader replied as the transmission ended and we headed toward the interrogation room. Along the way I got to view the interior of the ship and pot out points of attack when I escape, but once we entered the room, I was strapped down til it was only me and Barriss Offee. "So Jedi, where are the Jedi hiding and if you tell me, The Empire will never speak of this planet." She asked nicely. I only glared back and replied bluntly. "I wouldn`t know, I probably would have received a transmission from them." She activated her red lightsaber and held it toward my neck. "Your lucky I cant kill you, but once I turn you over to Lord Vader, Hell probably kill you." Barriss Offee threatened which didnt scare me since I knew nothing of the Jedi whereabouts. "I know who you are and who you use to be Barriss Offee." She got angry when I said that, I could since her anger. "Dont call me that!" "Why not, We both know you use to be Luminara`s prize pupil, but all that went when you committed an order to get hundreds of clones killed and blamed it on Ahsoka. I saw the trial and heard your confession, I was disgusted by your actions." I pursued which seemed to make her rage boil. "I did it to blame the Jedi, they were the real enemy, and once their gone we can finally have peace!" She screamed out, but I wasn`t done. "Peace isnt earned by wiping out an entire race, its earned by the choices and the actions you make and trying to kill the Jedi to form an empire wasnt a bold move, now there will be rebellions against this empire and a new war will start." My master taught me well, Ive began to corrupt her, but I pushed her over the edge. "Take him away to the cell, Ill let Lord Vader deal with this Jedi scum." The two troopers untied me and lead me to my cell in the lower areas of the ship. One still had my lightsaber which was good and I began plotting my escape. (In Ponyville, Roseluck`s POV) With Eric taken onboard the giant spaceship above Equestria, I felt hopeless to see him turn himself in. I had to try and rescue him, but I had no idea how to get up to the ship, then Twilight walked up to the Princesses. "Princess Celestia, we want to save Eric." "But how, The ship could be crawling with hundreds, if not thousands of Imperial troops and officers." Princess Luna inputted first. "But even so, How would we even know how to get in, find Eric and get out?" Princess Celestia finished. as Twilight began searching for the answer. "Wait a moment yall, why not his space ship?" Applejack shot out an answer. "But how will it carry everypony and none of us know how to fly it." Rarity argued back at the idea, as Twilight then found the solution. "I know, follow me." We all headed to Twilgihts Library as Princess Celestia called back. "Good luck my little ponies." I just only want to see Eric again and Ill do whatever it takes. We arrived at the Library to see Eric`s 'starfighter' and Twilght finishing tying the rope from the basket of a hot air balloon. "Ok, So Rose, Pinkie, Rarity Applejack, and Fluttershy will be in the basket, Rainbow Dash you fly and help us when we need some support, while I try to fly the ship." It seemed like a good plan and agreed and hopped into the basket and Twilight in the cockpit. When the engines started, The ship lifted itself up and began wobbling a little and almost slamming into the tree. The next second we zoomed off into the sky almost as fast as Rainbow Dash. We were getting tossed about in the basket as the ship made some violent moves, but eventually got settled down as Twilight began to operate the ship better. As we approached the ship, we felt as if we were being pulled toward the large ship. "Whoa what`s going on?" I asked quite scared. "Is it going to eat us?" Pinkie cried out. "No, its pulling us into this hanger." Applejack pointed as the ship landed on the bigger ships hanger. We all got off the basket to see more of those white beings holding blasters. "Stop right there!" One shouted as Twilight shot a beam at one of them and the rest began shooting at us. We ducked for cover behind some crates as the kept blasting. Twilight then shot a few more beams at them until they`ve stopped. Twilight levitated up a blaster and explained the plan. "Alright everypony, We need to stick together. there could be more of those guys on this ship" She levitated us some earpieces and activated them. "Alright, Lets do this." Applejack said as we split off to locate our friend. Lets See If This Ship Really Destroys Stars(3rd POV) Twilight and the rest of her friends began to run to find their Jedi friend, but met with another squadron of stormtroopers. This time they fought back by kicking and punching, even Twilight fired a stormtrooper blaster and shot a few of them. The stormtroopers were unable to hit their targets and and were overwhelmed. "OK Twilight, we need to find some sort of map or something, cuz this will be hopeless if were going around in circles." Applejack pointed out as Twilight began thinking. She thought for a moment and remembered what Eric said about comms tables that show almost anything. "I got it, follow me!" They began running until they saw a comms table, but it required a droid to try and access it. "Wait, didn`t Eric say something about droids accessing this thing?" Rainbow questioned and she did prove a valid point until they saw Fluttershy talking to an Imperial droid. "Hello there little guy, Can you please help us with something?" The droid beeped, but determining the sounds of the beeping, it rolled over to the comms table and accessed it through the droid panel. "Way to go Fluttershy!" Pinkie screamed as Fluttershy looked away in embarrassment. "So can you help us find our Jedi friend?" The droid beeped once more and turned the dial and the table began to show the ships interior and the red dot pointing to Erics location. "Is this where Eric is?" Rarity asked looking at the dot. The droid once more beeped and Twilight began to memorize the directions by going 3 floors down and making a left til they reached cell 0235. "OK, lets go!" Roseluck said as all but Fluttershy ran ahead. "Thank you for helping us, your a good droid." The droid beeped happily and Fluttershy asked. "You want to come with us?" Once more a happy beep came from the droid and they began after their friends when the alarm sounded throughout the Star Destroyer and a P.A "Attention, We have enemy ponies aboard, commence lockdown and kill on sight!" This didn`t make the ponies wary, but were concerned about the possibility of moving Eric somewhere else. and they needed to act fast. (Eric`s POV) As I waited in my cell, I heard the alarms from outside and the P.A of my friends coming to rescue me, this gave me a plan. "Oh Thank goodness your here to save me, quickly lets go before the white soldiers finds out!" I said while I was being 'rescued' by my friends and hid quickly when the two troopers came in to see what was happening. I sprung my ambush and punched one of them in the face and kicked the other`s stomach and face. I used the force to grab my lightsaber and got out to close the door and locking the two troopers inside my cell. "Hehe, Senator Amidala taught me that trick well." I chuckled to myself as I went up to the Bridge to steer this Star Destroyer as it is called, into the sun. It wasn`t til I entered the bridge I was fired upon, activating my lightsaber instinctively, I deflected the blasters and killed a few troopers and officers and claimed control of the Bridge. But as I was about to set in the coordinates, I felt the presence of Barriss Offee. "Ah Jedi, Im impressed with your skills, but you know I could teach you far better than what your master did." She began to torment me with my master who honorably died in the Battle over Kashyyyk. "Thats the wrong idea since you have nothing to teach me, besides what would Luminara think if her failed padawan turned to the dark side of the force?" I talked back, but she activated her red lightsaber and I activated my blue and began to fight. This was my 3rd lightsaber battle with a sith other than General Grevious and Count Dooku during the Clone Wars. I batched and weaved through some of her attacks and she blocks mine. In a lightsaber battle, you must be smart and decisive otherwise you wounldnt last a minute against a sith. But it wasnt until our blades clashed and we held to try and gain an advantage, but with one swing from Barriss, My face met the tip of her red blade and left a scar running from my left ear up to the middle of my face. I was using my master`s teachings to get the upperhand in the fight, which in turn did me well. She then force choked me and threw me against the wall and quickly tried to kill me, but I was able to react quickly and dodge her attack and tried to counter attack. I then had a crazy thought came into mind after we stopped. "Barriss, I can sense some good in you, you don`t have to be like Count Dooku. I actually had faith in you when Luminara was teaching you. Barriss you could have been a great Jedi." I said calmly, but she then fired back. "You dont understand, it is the Jedis fault for the war and when the Jedi are gone, The Empire will rise starting with you." "But, Barriss the Jedi allegiance is to the Republic and Democracy, where all planets are free, when you build an Emprire and the Jedi are gone, what will happen then?" I shot back an argument. This definitely got her thinking, I could sense the fear within her, the fear of abandonment and betrayal from her superiors. "Barriss, I can help you, we can help rebuild the Jedi Order and take down the Empire. And if we could, We can look for Luminara." With that, I deactivated my lightsaber and saw the guilt upon her face. When she finally came through, she deactivated hers and we shook. "Alright, but first get on your knees and I`ll do the talking." Barriss said as I complied and she began to activate the comms table, showing Lord Vader as a hologram. "I trust that he has revealed the whereabouts of Kenobi?" He asked in the voice that could intimidate a Jedi Knight. "No, My Lord, I have nothing to reveal, but we will Rendezvous over Coruscant from this planet. The image showed not Equestria, but another system called Ryloth. "We will wait for your arrival." Vader said as the transmission ends. "Alright, I`m steering this thing into the sun, we will hit in about 5 minutes, lets grab my friends and get out of here." I said as Barriss nodded and we ran to locate my friends. Along the way, we met a few stormtroopers, but were no match to skilled Jedi. I had a hunch that they were in the cell area, so that was our primary destination. "So, have any plans for getting out of here?" Barriss asked. "What, Of course I have a plan, just wait and see." I said as we saw my friends down the hall. "Eric!" Twilight screamed as we all ran for a group hug. "We didn`t find you in the cell, but 2 troopers and afterwards we began wandering around." I was glad they were safe, but their happiness turned to anger when the immediately noticed Barriss. "What is she doing here?" they turned like they were ready to fight. I got in between them to prevent a conflict. "Its OK, Barriss and I are friends now, but I wished to explain but we need to go now, I set this ship on a one-way trip to the sun." I said as the ponies understood. A beep was heard and saw an Imperial droid following Fluttershy. "OK now that we are all here, Lets get off this thing." Rarity said as we made a mad dash to the hanger, with the Star Destroyer picking up speed leaving Equestria`s atmosphere and toward the sun. We made our way to the hanger where we met almost an army of stormtroopers and were fired upon. On instinct, Me and Barriss activated our lightsabers and began deflecting the blaster`s fire defending the ponies and droid. I looked around and saw my ship next to a shuttle. "Quickly to the shuttle, I want the droid to fire up my ship and get it to safety." I ordered as I began to cover the ponies. One by one they climbed aboard when all of a sudden an explosion ruptured nearby and knocking the droid over. Barriss saw this and urged me to keep going. I acknowledged it and kept the ponies going. The troopers didn`t mind the droid as it hopped into the droid compartment of my starfighter and flew out the hanger. As I got in the Shuttle and began to activate it, I saw Barriss being hammered and went to the door to help her. "Barriss, Hop on!" I shouted over the blasters. Then a P.A was annouced. "Warning, Impact with star in 1 Minute." I got scared and held my hand out to grab her but she only responded. "No, Eric, get these ponies out. Ill cover you, I will not survive, but Ill go down fighting like the Jedi I was meant to be, But Eric I`m sorry for betraying the Jedi." I knew there was no time to argue but as the door closed she spoke one last time. "May the force be with you Eric, Always." "You too Barriss Offee." and the door closed and I took control of the shuttle and flew out the Hanger in time to get a distance away from the Star Destroyer as it began to explode from impact of the sun. The ponies watched the destruction and were quite sad about the death of Barriss Offee. "Eric, Im sorry about Barriss, she seemed like a good person." Rose sad sadly, and she was right, she died doing something a Jedi would do, sacrificing herself for others. As we flew back to Equestria, the droid that commanded my starfighter appeared on my left side. and it wasnt long before we landed on Equestria once more, with a new companion. Author's Note Hello ponies and bronies, Golden here and there we have it, I did enjoy writing this and I know some of you were hoping to see Lord Vader but I have other plans in play, so be on the lookout for that. I know some of you are sad about Barriss Offee`s death, but an honorable hero is defined by a selfless act no matter how big, In my opinion, she did something any Jedi would have done and all honesty, I would have done the same thing. With all that said, I hope you all enjoyed and if so Like, Comment, Favorite, and Follow me. And til next time, I`ll see you all later and May the Force be With You, Always. A Commendable Victory(Eric`s POV) During our flight back to Equestria, Destruction of a Star Destroyer, and the honorable death of Barriss Offee, the girls looked out of the windows of the Imperial shuttle we stole to look upon the beauty of space that was above them. Twilight and Rarity seemed more fascinated for fashion and knowledge. "Now I understand why you like space, it truly is amazing to look at." Twilight said while still looking out the window. "And I think I`ve come up with a few new fashion lines for astronomy." Rarity included with her eyes sparkling like the stars. "I never imagined to see Equestria like this." Fluttershy looked over the planet of Equestria. "Yeah, but the way we blew up that giant ship was totally awesome!" Rainbow shouted remembering how I steered the ship into the sun. "Yeah, but Im glad its over, Although this is a lifetime opportunity to see the planet since we`re the first ponies to be in space." Applejack remarked. "Well enjoy it while you can, because we should be entering Equestria`s atmosphere any moment." I said as I sat and controlled the shuttle upon our re-entry. It wasnt as bumpy of a ride as the first time I came but that was due to the damages my starfighter sustained, but with that aside, I had to be sure I dont damage the shuttle. As we re entered the planet, we landed near Town Hall of Ponyville where the Princesses and residents of the town gathered and wondered in curiosity. I opened the door and my friends left the shuttle and Twilight made a mad dash to the Princesses and telling them about the wonders of space. My starfighter landed next to the shuttle and the R2 unit jumped out and rolled up near Fluttershy, who began petting the droid. Soon it was my time to return and as I exited the shuttle, A roar of cheer erupted as I walked up to the Royals. While doing so, I waved at the crowd like the parades on Naboo and smiled when I approached the Equestrian Rulers and bowed to show respect. "Eric, From the citizens of Equestria and ourselves, We wish to thank you for saving Equestria with your courage and bravery to save us from an invasion. By the power invested in us, We wish to bestow you the title of 'Equestrias Jedi Knight'." Princess Celestia said as she used her horn like a blade and tapped it on my shoulders. "Rise young Jedi." Luna ordered but in a calm voice. I complied and turned to the crowd of ponies and the R2 unit who was rattling about and beeping happily. Then Princess Celestia began to illuminate her horn and the sun began to set over the horizon and Princess Luna did the same, but the moon began rising. I was told that they raised and lowered the sun and moon, but this was amazing to see. But what I saw next was the spirit of Barriss Offee, instead of her Inquisitor outfit, but her Jedi outfit she wore during the Clone Wars. Not only that, but My master, Athan appeared next to her as well. They appeared behind the crowd of ponies and smiled at me. I simply responded by smiled back knowing they are now one with the force. Then out of nowhere Pinkie screams. "This victory calls for a PARTY!" and the crowd cheers more as we began to party in the town of Ponyville and Pinkie brought out some sort of cannon and fired confetti and streamers all over the place as music played and everypony was dancing. I walked over to the R2 Imperial droid and knelled down. "I wish to thank you for helping me and my friends." The beeped happily as I continued. "I do wish to ask, Would you be my new companion?" The droid beeped with joy once more. "Its settled then, I shall call you R7-Z9 and Ill get you a new look." The droid beeped once more as I patted the top of the droid and walked off through the crowd. "Eric, wait up!" A voice called to me that was all to familiar, Roseluck. And the little mare stood there behind me a few feet away from me. We both walked up to one another and hugged each other. She then saw my battle scar from Barriss`s lightsaber that streaked from the center of my eyebrows to my left ear. She kissed it like how my mother would whenever I got hurt and to be honest, When she kissed my new battle scar, it actually felt how mother would do it. "Rose, Im sorry I had you worrying earlier." I apologized and brushing my hand over her red mane. "Its alright, I love you too much to be mad at you." Rose replied as I went in for a kiss. The flower mare didn`t waste time returning the kiss and eventually broke away to the sound of fireworks booming overhead. A commendable victory it was over Equestria, but it was far from over as the Empire would sooner or later find out about the me and the fight will be even bigger. Til then, I will be ready. (First Imperial Fleet, Coruscant) Lord Vader was on the Bridge looking over the planet of Coruscant, where ruins of the Jedi Temple remain and the birthplace of the Galactic Empire. Not too far away was the construction of the Death Star, A battle station the size of a moon and can destroy planets with a giant laser powered by a giant Kyber Crystal. It was the Emperor`s favorite and most powerful weapon that took years of scheming as he was Chancellor Palpitine. As Vader looked on the construction of the space station, An Imperial Admiral walks up to the Dark Lord. "My Lord, We searched the Ryloth system for previous activity and so far nothing." Vader doesn`t look back, but replies. "Then it appears Inquisitor Offee have lied and betrayed us, We will scour the Outer Rim until we have located them. We will kill Offee, but not the Jedi." "Yes, My Lord, but why keep the Jedi alive, doesn`t the Emperor want all Jedi dead sir?" The Admiral questioned. "That Jedi may know where the remaining Jedi are. Once we wipe out the Jedi, there will be no stopping the Empire." Vader responds turning to the officer. Another officer whispers something into the Admirals ear and leaves. " Lord Vader, Our scanners have picked up the Inquisitor`s Star Destroyer signal before it was lost. We traced the signal back to an unknown system in the Outer Rim." The Admiral informed. "Then that is where we shall go, but to be sure of it, dispatch a shuttle of stormtroopers to the system and bring the Jedi to me alive, Understood Admiral." Vader ordered. "Yes, My Lord." The Admiral bowed to Vader and walked back to the comms table to assemble a flight to the unknown system. Vader continues to look over the planet and ponders in his mind. "I will find this Jedi, He may be strong, but he could lead me to the whereabouts of Kenobi and I will finally have my vengeance." Afterwards he walks away from the Bridge and to his quarters as the Death Star slowly nears its completion. *The End* Author's Note Hello ponies and bronies Golden here to say this is my first complete story on this site and I want to thank everyone for supporting this story by commenting, Likes, Follows, tracking, and all that other fun stuff.

A New Threat of the Force(Imperial Command Fleet, Somewhere in the Outer Rim) With once the Republic gone and the Empire now risen to power, Almost all Republic cruisers and ships were redesigned, Old Republic bases were abandoned and cloning on Kamino were shut down. A few systems were now under the Empire`s control but it seemed as if all hope was lost since there were so little Jedi to help defend the galaxy and Jedi hunters known as Inquisitors were assigned to locate any surviving Jedi. On the Bridge, Admiral Glenric and a few officers were talking, when the doors behind them revealed Darth Vader. On cue they saluted to their superior and the Admiral spoke. "My lord, things are going as planned with systems under our control, cloning ceases to exist and a few Jedi were wiped out." Vader couldn`t show facial expressions behind his mask, but he knew that he was pleased by the success of the Empire. "You have done well Admiral, but leave the Bridge immediately." Vader said as the Admiral and officers bowed in compliance and left Vader alone in the Bridge. Vade knelled down to the transmission and the hologram of Darth Sidious appeared. "What is the news on the Empire?" Sidious asks with a raspy tone. "The Empire is becoming successful with every Jedi wiped out and system under our control." Vader responds. "Good, Now I feel some powerful Jedi in the force and one of them maybe Kenobi." Sidious informs. "Shall I handle it master?" Vader volunteers. "That wont be necessary, I need you for an important mission later, but for now, Ill dispatch a Star Destroyer and an Inquisitor to deal with this powerful Jedi." Sidious responds and then goes on about Vader`s mission. "It will be done my master." Vader responds as he sends a transmission to the Inquisitor. "Lord Vader, what shall be my bidding?" The Inquisitor bows. "You must locate a powerful Jedi that may be a master and could be training younglings to overthrow our Empire, But when you do find him, Bring him to me, Alive." Vader responds and debriefs the mission. "Yes, As you wish my lord." The Inquisitor bows and the transmission ends. (Lone Star Destroyer, Near Mygeeto) As the transmission from Lord Vader ends, the Inquisitor moves onto the observation area of the Bridge and begins to use the Force to locate the Jedi. As the crew watches on, the Inquisitor opens her eyes and smiles. "Found you, Admiral type in the following coordinates and make the jump to hyperspace." With that the Inquisitor told the Admiral the coordinates and the Star Destroyer left Mygeeto to Hyperspace. Then Admiral goes up to the Inquisitor. "Ma`am, The coordinates you told me to type in were so far away that it may take a day or so to reach the destination." "It won`t matter Admiral, I want that Jedi and it will please Lord Vader." The Inquisitor replies not looking at the Admiral. "Very well then Ma`am." The Admiral responds and walks back into the transmission room. Author's Note Hey ponies and bronies, Golden here and I just want to apologize if this seemed shorter than others, because what else was there to explain about the Empire since we don`t start the Rebellion in the next 16 years. Also here is the picture of the Inquisitor (Not the one from Star Wars Rebels) But a former Jedi that escaped prison after the Order 66. Thats right, Its Barriss Offee, former apprentice of Luminara Unduli and a traitor to the Jedi Order in Clone Wars. I thought of bringing an Inquisitor into the story but it was hard to do so until I stumbled upon Barriss Offee since she was locked up, why not if she escaped and joined the Empire. But I hope you all enjoyed regardless and if you did Like, Comment, Favorite, and Follow me and til next time, I`ll see you all later.
Execute Order 66 (Revised)(A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.) (Space Battle over Kashyyyk) The battle around me was furious as multiple Separatist fighters streaked at me and my squadron of Republic Arc-170 starfighters known as "Green Squadron". Our mission was to bring down one of the final Separatist fleets over Kashyyyk, My Master and I just so happen to have been chosen to lead the mission. I am Eric Keteris, Jedi Knight of the Jedi Order and I had a great master to learn from and his name was Athan Charrel. I couldn't have thought to have a better Jedi to fight along side with, except perhaps Masters Skywalker and Kenobi. Anyways, being that he found and taught me throughout my entire Jedi training only gave me the perspective to be just like him, maybe better. "Alright boys, you know the drill, Destroy this fleet to free Kashyyyk. Lets see if we can break the record to destroy this fleet quicker." I said with competition in my voice. I remembered that it didn't take too long to destroy the last enemy fleet over Mygeeto. However, My wise master tends to restrain me a bit. "Now Eric, Lets not get too ahead of ourselves. You still tend to be a bit of a hotshot when it comes to flying." Athan spoke with his wisdom voice. "Yeah that's right, we'll need to leave you some since you take too long." I joked. "Very funny." He replied with his sarcasm as we raced in to the fight and taking down any fighters that challenged us. Even though I like to be in the heat of the action, I respected highly of Athan and what ever advice he provides. As I sped up my Eta-2 Actis class interceptor to meet with and follow him in our usual plan, Destroying the bridge and engines on the flagship while the rest of the squadron distracts the enemy fighters. "You ready, Master?" I asked over my headset and looking at his ship on my port side. "More than I'll ever be." He replied as we both opened up our throttles and with our blasters to annihilate the control center as we flew around the burning structure to dive in on the engines and opened up once more as they exploded out of service. The Y-wing bombers would now dive on the crippled vessel and deliver proton bombs to make quick work of the doomed ship. "Whoo, never gets old." I said with excitement. Looking back at the burning Separatist ship. "I agree, now lets pick off the remaining fighters and return to the ship." Athan said as we both dove on enemies. We began our attacks, shaking the droid fighters off our squadron's tails and to assist our allies, However I got a cold feeling brewing through my mind, a sense in the Force. My master then spoke to me. "I felt a disturbance in the force as if many Jedi are being wiped out." "I felt it too Master, but what are you talking about?" I asked looking concerned and confused. "Something is not right. We need to return to the ship now." Athan said as we headed for our Venator class Cruiser. Just as we were nearing the ship, Athan's theory was correct as a swarm of our allied Arc-170 Starfighters formed up behind us. Just then a transmission came in that I somehow intercepted. It showed a man in a dark cloak and looked like Chancellor Palpatine. His voice was low and raspy as he then spoke only three words. "Execute Order 66." The transmission ended and before I could think, The starfighters began to open fire upon me and my Master. We began evading and maneuvering the fire to shake them, but these men were one of the finest pilots I ever fought beside. Doing a quick snap roll, my starfighter responded quickly as I reversed my direction, giving me a chance and as much as I didn't want to, I fired on some of the Arc-170s and zoomed off quickly as I tried to help my master, who was in danger with 3 fighters on his six o clock. "Master I'm moving in to assist you." I said just before I could setup my attack, he quickly replied. "Negative, You need to go NOW!" "Not without you, master." I said defiantly. The thought of losing my master is devastating to even think about. "Please, You need to go and hide on some system they wouldn't think to look, Remember my young Padawan, The Force be with you always." Athan said calmly as I looked on to see the Arc-170s pummel my Master's starfighter until it exploded into a fireball. I felt brokenhearted that my master was killed, but now wasn't the time to feel bad, I had to get out quickly as some Arc-170s began to move in to attack me. I saw that if the droids could attack the Arcs, I could have a chance to escape. I started to batch-weave through some surviving Separatist ships, which continued to pummel the Republic cruisers and other vulture droids were trained on the Arc-170s, which were either shot down or broke off their attack from me. "I need to get out of here, but where to go?" I pondered my mind for any systems until I decided to just type one in. It was dangerous to just type in some random coordinates into the Navicomputer. You could crash into a star, a planet, a moon, or an asteroid. I quickly began to type in some random coordinates to a system in hopes to escape. Before I could finish, I was hit by an Arc-170 that was still on my tail and my left engine began to fail. I quickly made an evasive maneuver that caused him to overshoot and fired upon him as payback to my fallen master. I then punched the jump to hyperspace and left the Kashyyyk system and the battle with it. A wave of relief crashed on me, which was then replaced with sadness that I have lost my master to the traitors of the Republic. The soldiers we fought beside for years turned and betray us out of nowhere was uncomprehending. For all I know, almost every Jedi in the galaxy could be dead by the clones and that man in the black cloak on the transmission could be leading them all. While all these thoughts floated in my mind, My ship had just exited hyperspace and a small planet was visible. An atmospheric terrestrial planet with continents and oceans, a moon in orbit and hosts life being at a right distance from its sun. With the damage I've sustained, It was my only place to land safely. Taking the ship down closer to the planet, It seemed to be teeming with life and it didn't look familiar from all the star maps I've seen throughout the galaxy. "Well, At least I know no Separatist fleets have been here." I said with relief and proceeded to the life-filled planet. Entering the planet's atmosphere, My starfighter's stabilizer had failed, which caused an explosion on the left wing. It became difficult now to control the ship as it was now caught from the planet's gravity. The ship was engulfed in flames as I entered and fell faster when gravity started to act on the fighter as my other engines now begun fail. "This is not great." I thought I I tried to regain control of the fighter, but I was going too fast and soon the surface was rapidly approaching. Pulling hard back on the stick, the ship's front was slow to respond, but it was raised high enough to avoid slamming into the ground and exploding. I then crash landed in some dense forest. My face smacked against the panel as the starfighter skidded along the ground at an extreme speed, cutting down trees that were in the way and scaring off animals until the ship finally grinds to a halt. Smoke and fire emit from my now wrecked ship and the front seemed to dip into the ground, but not by much. I slowly recovered from my face-plant the force wasn't too hard to do any real damage, but it still hurt a lot. I opened up the canopy and stepped on the ground of this new world. The forest looked dark and dense, sunlight hardly pierced the treetop cover making it seem as if it was night all the time. "What is this place? I don't recall this planet on a map from what I've seen?" I asked myself looking around the forest and went into the cockpit to grab the 3 items I had in the ship; My lightsaber, My DL-18 blaster pistol, and a pendant my mother gave me before I left to become a Jedi. It was known that Jedi don't really use blasters, but I've been secretly training with the clones if I ever was in a situation where a blaster could save my life. Packing my weapons in their holsters and my pendant in my pocket, I started to survey the damage of my starfighter, Upon examination through the burn marks from the entry in the atmosphere, the engines and stabilizers were damaged from the skirmish. Along with the weapons system being offline and the navicomputer fried from the crash. Having no tools or anything to repair the ship, the next thing I needed to do was find some kind of civilization or colony to gather the tools I required. I guess the only way to know is to go and find out for myself, but It whether it was the dim sunlight or not, it was getting late. "I might as well set up camp for the night. Then I'll go and gather what I need first thing in the morning." I said to myself as I went to gather some firewood. (Golden Oaks Library, Ponyville) As Twilight, Spike, Rarity, Applejack, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie were dusting off some books from the shelves in the library. Tedious as it might be, Twilight's friends knew how much she cared for her love of books and don't mind helping her keep them in good condition. "Thank you all again for helping me take care of these books." Twilight said, looking back at her friends and smiled. "It's not a problem darling" Rarity replied feather dusting one book. Then all of a sudden, the door burst open. The ponies screamed from the unexpected surprise and saw that standing in front of them was there athletic friend Rainbow Dash looking very exhausted from how fast she came in. "Woah Hello Rainbow, what`s the rush?" Twilight asks curiously and startled from her abrupt entry. "Yeah, yah look like yah saw some ghost?" Applejack added. The others looked in worry from Rainbow's heaving breathing. Rainbow Dash had some trouble getting words out, but once she calmed down a little, she explained to the others what she had seen. "Something fast came out of nowhere and crashed into the Everfree Forest, it appeared as some small bird but was smoking from behind. It was like nothing I've ever seen." Her friends were puzzled and equally concerned about what they heard. "Are you sure it was a bird, the poor thing must be hurt." Fluttershy said with a little sadness. "No, it was not a bird, it looked like one but it didn't flap its wings." Rainbow pointed out which left Fluttershy relieved, but gained interest from Twilight, who was mentally contemplating about it. "Maybe it was a UFO from space." Pinkie sprang out and smiled. "Now that's ridiculous, there is nothing in the wide world of Equestria that an alien of some kind would just.." Rarity said before getting cut off. "Actually Rarity, there could be a possibility and I for one want to see and study it, maybe it is friendly." Twilight said with a smile forming. "Then this could mean I will be the first pony to discover a new species beyond Equestria!" She beamed at the possibilities and making her mentor, Princess Celestia very proud. "So what are we waiting for, lets find this thing and see what it wants." Rainbow said determined to locate this offworlder. "Fine, but if it ain't too friendly, we send it back ta where it came from." Applejack said as the ponies headed off on their adventure to the Everfree Forest to find the alien. (Eric`s POV) With my camp set up near my wrecked starfighter, I was eating some of the berries I forged earlier while sitting next to the fire. As I was eating some of the berries, it was quite dark out with an occasional wolf howl from within the forest and I began thinking of how the clones would betray us after years of working together. "It just doesn`t seem right, why would they suddenly turn on us?" I thought when a bush rustled from nearby with a few voices. I readied my blaster in case things got out of hand and asked. "Who's there, show yourself!" Then a purple pony as high as my abdomen approached me followed by five others. The purple one was the first to speak. "Hello there, can you understand me?" I wasnt surprised that equines can speak since most of the planets Ive been had aliens could talk so I wouldn't be freaking out. "I understand you clearly, Are you inhabitants of this planet?" I asked. "We are and if I may ask, what are you and whats that thing over there?" She motions my starfighter. "I am Eric Keteris, Jedi Knight of the Republic." I replied and extended my hand. Twilight seemed to hesitate at first but takes my hand and we both shook. "So what in the hay is a Jed-." The orange pony asked before she was cut off by a sound of snarls from nearby. I looked around and saw a few eyes appear and emerging toward the camp was a wolf-like creature made of wood and a Lion, Scorpion, and Bat creature. With faces that defined predators I saw the ponies terrified expressions with fear that then changed to battle-ready. A large wolf pounced first toward the ponies, but exploded as the purple unicorn shot a beam toward it. I was quite impressed, but there was still three more wolves and three more of the lion-scorpion-bat creatures to deal with. "What are these things?" I asked. "Manticores and Timberwolves, very violent and aggressive creatures that live here." The Rainbow pegasus replied while kicking a manticore in its face. Then the yellow pegasus was flanked by two Timberwolves and were ready to pounce as I used the force to stop them in mid air and force them to collide with one another, which resulted them to explode into splinters. "How in Equestria were you able to do that?" The white pony asked. "I`d like to tell you, but perhaps in a better environment, when this little skirmish is over." I brought up a good point and the ponies nodded and another five Timberwolves appeared. I then decided to pull out my blaster pistol and fired two rounds at an incoming Manticore in its face, which caused it to die. The ponies were fought off the Timberwolves until they were nothing but woodchips as I dealt with the last Manticore by firing a single shot in its head. But as the battle seemed to be over a large Timberwolf emerged to the fight and was obvious that he was the Alpha due to some scratches and scars on his body. It roared loudly at me in particularly and seemed to be focused on me. "So you want to go, fine Lets dance toothpick." I said as I fired a few rounds from my blaster, which did little to no damage and only left blast marks where I hit. The Alpha roared once more and with a quick swipe it knocked my blaster out of my hand and sent me tumbling to the ground. The ponies gasped as it seemed to have hurt. It did but it wasn`t enough to keep me down for long. I got up slowly to pulled out my lightsaber and activate it with a blue blade. I got in my battle stance awaiting the wolf`s attack with a stern look. The Alpha howled and lunged at me for a pounce, I quickly jumped in the air and landed on his back where I jabbed my lightsaber inside of it. The Alpha howled in pain and tried to shake me off, but I pulled out my lightsaber to get down to its hind-legs and quickly sliced them off in a swift motion. The Alpha toppled to the ground and groaned in pain as it looked at me as I stood in front of him and decapitated the wolf`s head. I deactivated my lightsaber and put it back on my waist to turn and see the ponies surprised. "No pony has never taken down an Alpha Timberwolf!" The purple unicorn stated. "Not even mah Granny has heard tales about anypony taking down a Timberwolf that size, It seemed impossible." The orange pony added. "How in Equestria were you able to do all those stunts." The White unicorn asked. "How about I tell you after we leave this forest, I fear we might run into some more unwanted guests." I pointed out and the ponies agreed. "Follow us and wel lead you back to Ponyville. Then you can tell us how you are able t do all that cool stuff." The rainbow pony said. I didnt want to leave my ship behind, so I used the force once more to raise the ship and carry it back to this "Ponyville". Author's Note Hello ponies and bronies, Golden here with a new Idea that came into my mind and in hopes of becoming a huge success like A Second Chance. It won`t be as long as A Second Chance, but it will be as cool and an early celebration for the release of Star Wars Episode VII. This is only but the pilot and if it does well, then Ill continue.

The Ways of the Jedi (Revised)(Golden Oaks Library, Equestria) After a what felt like an eternity of keeping my strength to hold my starfighter as we emerged from the dark forest to see that we had finally arrived at the settlement of Ponyville. Since it was night so the ponies must have been asleep and it was important to not raise any kind of panic since this planet never appeared to be introduced to any life forms beyond their system. Including the fact they have not mastered any form of space travel or intergalactic communications to render them completely isolated from the rest of the Galaxy. We then arrive to a tree which appeared to be a Library on the inside. I put my starfighter behind the tree to at least give myself a chance to rest and relaxed a little on a chair. Using the force to hold objects heavier than your own body weight will require much strength and concentration. "Excuse me, Eric was it?" The White unicorn asked. I nodded and she proceeded. "We all want to thank you for saving us from the horrid beasts." "Yeah, Thanks a bunch partner." The orange pony finished off. "You are most welcome." I gave a smile as I then said. "We never had a proper introduction since you know who I am but I don't know who you are." "Oh yes, I'm Twilight Sparkle." The purple one started and pointed to her friends. "This is Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Fluttershy, and Rainbow Dash." "Pleasure to make your acquaintances." I smiled once more. I never really had friends except my master who I'd call a friend since we've been together for a long time, It was good to have someone or somepony in this case to have your back. "Yah never really did answer mah question earlier, What is a Jedi?" Applejack asked as she never got a definitive answer. "Well, a Jedi is suppose to be the peacekeepers of the Galaxy, sworn to protect and help other systems." I answered. "We fight for freedom and security for all." "But what was the thing of moving things without magic?" Twilight popped in. "And the laser things?" Fluttershy asked timidly. I hunched over and began explaining. "I move objects without magic by using the 'force', Its an energy field that gives a Jedi it's power, It binds us, penetrates us, and binds the Galaxy together. There are 2 main aspects, the Light and Dark sides. The Light side the facet aligned with compassion, selflessness, self-knowledge and enlightenment, healing, mercy and benevolence, while the dark side of the Force was the element aligned with hatred, fear, covetousness, anger, aggression, jealousy and malevolence." I pulled out my blaster and lightsaber, laying them on the table. "Now this is the main weapon of the Jedi, The Lightsaber. This is a Jedi's most distinct weapon, it is able to slice through any kind of surface and object. As for this blaster here, It is my side weapon. Its not really a common weapon among st the Jedi, but I only use it on certain targets." This answered some but raised more questions like "How are Jedi trained?" or "Where did this all start?" As a Youngling, I learned the basics from Master Yoda til I was a Padawan, When I worked with Master Athan as I grew up with more discipline and control for me to become a Jedi Knight. I even got a chance to learn about the pony society, economy, and the history. It would be important for me to learn this If I`m going to be staying here now that the Republic has betrayed the Jedi Order. "So how does this Lightsaber work exactly?" Twilight asked. I set down my lightsaber on the table, got into my meditation posture, and closed my eyes as I focused on taking apart my lightsaber. It complied well and the blade was lifted up a few feet before disassembling itself, followed by a few gasps of amazement. When I was finally done, I held out the blue lightsaber crystal that powered my blade. "This crystal is the heart of the lightsaber, I was on the Adega system to recover this and build my lightsaber." I showed the crowd who seemed to like the crystal. Then a small purple creature came by and looked at the crystal with hungry eyes and a mouthwatering smile. "Hey, you gonna eat that?" It spoke as it was pleading for the crystal. "This is an important crystal to me and I can't eat crystals." I answered. "Spike, this is our new guest, Eric. Eric this is Spike, My #1 Assistant." Twilight introduced as we shook hand and claw. "Pleasure." I said as I then asked. "So what creature are you?" "I`m a dragon and sorry about earlier, I usually eat crystals and gems." Spike explained with a sheepish expression. "No harm done Spike." I smiled as I reassembled my lightsaber piece by piece and activated it to show the blue bladed light sword. "There are various colors to a lightsaber, Blue meaning Bravery, Green meaning Wisdom, Red meaning Aggression, and Yellow meaning Spying." I explained as Twilight has been writing down notes. "So you said it could cut up any surface? Why not prove it." Rainbow Dash acted like how I was a Youngling, Competitive and arrogant. She laid down a few items like a gem, a boulder and one of them being some sort of gold armor.(How`d she get it all in here, I will never know). I accepted this challenge and tossed an item in the air and with one swing, it got cut including the Gold armor. "OK you proved your point, but enough about the lightsaber, what about your ship outside?" Rainbow jumped to another subject. But judging how late it was, I was tired from both the mission and the earlier attack. "I`ll talk about it tomorrow, but right now it seems to be late and I need my rest." The ponies then realized how late it was and nodded in acceptance. "Alright, well see you tomorrow, Darling." Rarity waved off. "Sleep well." Fluttershy peeped still shy from me. "See yah later sugarcube." Applejack finished as the door closed and Twilight, Spike and I were left. "So I`ll send a letter to the Princess about your arrival and if you like, you can sleep on my bed." Twilight offered, but not wanting to take advantage of her hospitality. "No, No please, Ill sleep on the sofa, you take your bed and you cant change my mind." I said making it final. "OK then, well good night." Spike said as the two left upstairs as I got comfortable on the couch. But looking at my pendant, I remembered all the good times I had on my homeworld, at least before the CIS took control and killed my mother, before I was rescued by my future master. A tear escaped remembering and a new question came, how will I explain the war and the Clone`s betrayal to the Jedi? I could only think, but as my blue blade represented me as Truth, I needed to tell them, eventually. (Senate Building, Coruscant) As the busy city in Coruscant bustled about and the Jedi Temple burning along with the history of Jedi with it, A man in a large black cloak sits in his chair overlooking whats left of the Old Republic, Chancellor Palpatine was no more, but was no other than Darth Sidious; Master of Count Dooku and the new master of Darth Vader. A door opens and a clone commander walks in and kneels before his new emperor. "My lord." "Status report on the Jedi Casualties?" Sidious asks in a raspy voice since he was recently attacked by Mace Windu. "More than 90% of the Jedi are gone, My lord others have fled and are going into hiding." The Commander responds. Sidious rises from his chair and walks around a little as he speaks. "Good, but I want all the Jedi wiped out Padawans, Masters, Knights, and Younglings, all of them. Sooner or later, They will band together to try and defeat the Empire Im now creating. Now Commander, I want the Jedi wiped out and leave no survivors. Ill send a few Inquisitors to assist you, but if you fail me." Sidious pauses and reveals his lightsaber and activates it. "It will be your undoing." "Yes my lord." The Commander replies as he leaves the room as Sidious deactivates his lightsaber and begins to view outside Coruscant once more as a new fleet of Star Destroyers loomed overhead, marking the beginning of the Galactic Empire. Author's Note Hello ponies and bronies Golden here, saying Ive had a wonderful time attending my Dads College Graduation and receiving his Bachelors in Science of Aeronautics in Corpus Christi.

Welcome to EquestriaAfter waking from a well rested slumber, I smelled food being cooked and it smelled delicious. I headed over to the source and saw Twilight and Spike cooking up some breakfast. "Oh, Good morning Eric, Sleep well?" Twilight asked. "Fine, Thank you, is Breakfast almost ready?" I responded with a question of hunger. "Yeah, In about a minute or so." Spike replied struggling to hold a large plate of hotcakes. "Allow me to help." I spoke and used the force to levitate the plate from Spike to the table. "Thank man." Spike replied. I nodded as we all sat down and began eating. After breakfast, I helped out by cleaning the kitchen and as Spike had to head out to meet this 'Big Mac' for hoofball, It was their form of sport like many others from the systems I`ve visited. Then Twilight spoke. "Hey Eric, Last night I sent a letter to the Princesses and they have agreed to come to Ponyville and see you, isnt it exciting?" Twilight seemed enthusiastic about this, but I was already beyond excited since Ive met Kings, Queens, and Princes, and Princesses from other systems, but still it was good to meet the rulers of the planet. "When will they be arriving?" I asked. "Soon, but my other friends will be here as well, we`d like to know as much of your travels to distant planets and your ship." Twilight responded with happiness. And almost as if this was somehow planned from the start, a knocking at the door was heard. Twilight goes to answer and finds her other 5 friends entering and saying hello to me and her, Also following in were two larger ponies with both wings and a horn, but one was white with a rainbow mane and tail, and the other was midnight blue with a mane that seemed to be made of stars. "You must be the Jedi Twilight has written to me about, I am Princess Celestia." The larger one started. "And I am Luna, Pleasure to make you acquaintance." The smaller one finished. As all the other Jedi would have done, I went up to them and bowed myself. "Your majesties, It is an honor." "So please tell us, Is there other planets beyond Equestria?" Luna asked. "Yes Your Highness, There are multiple planets in the galaxy and I believe I do have a map in my ship if it survived the crash." I replied as they followed me out and around the library to see my damaged starfighter. I opened the canopy and be to search for the star map as the ponies looked at the ship and were impressed. "So this hunk of metal can fly faster than me?" Rainbow asked with jealousy. "Yes, because there is a certain system that allows me to to jump from planet to planet called a Hyper Drive which allows me to enter Hyperspace." I explained and rattle off about how it operated until I finally found the map. "Ah here we are." I set the device down and it activated showing the galaxy with the planets, stars, and asteroids. "I think I`ve found inspiration for my next line." Rarity said as she stared at the map and Twilight, Luna and Celestia seemed even more fascinated since they were interested in astronomy. "I never knew there could be so many different planets." Twilight stated. "You know, when Im up in space, its actually like a beautiful night you never want to leave." I said which pretty much sparked up the Lunar Princess to give a smile like a Youngling when he received his first lightsaber. I knew this since all organisms sleep during the night and she feels as if no one cares, but I for one adore the night since it provides inspiration to those who seek it. "I`m glad a being such as yourself finds the night fascinating, its just that nopony has really said that about the nights I provide before." Luna apologized as I gave her a warm smile to know that there was no harm done. "Its quite alright, but back to the map, you can see all these systems, but one in particular is my home world of Balmorra." I pointed and the image enhanced to show the planet at a closer view. "So if thats your home planet, Why did you leave in the first place?" Celestia asked. I feared this question and the memories of the past Ive had with the reason I joined the Jedi Order, But now is a good time as any tell them the true story of Eric Keteris. "The truth is that it all started when I was only a young man living with my mother and never really knowing where my father was. During that time, a group known as the Separatist was growing into a threat across the galaxy. It was one fateful day that changed everything when the Separatist invaded my home planet and battle droids wiped out my city, the people and even my own mother. I too was about to be killed until I was able to use the force and was rescued by a Jedi, who would soon be my master and took me to a planet called Coruscant where I trained to become a Jedi." I sighed afterwards then continued. "I was a quick learner and it took only a year for me to earn Padawan and fought with the Republic to avenge my world and mother, But after the Battle of Mandalore, I earned Jedi Knight and when the Liberation of Kashyyyk was underway, a message or more like an order was given to the clones to betray and kill the Jedi, including my Master and I. Which is why I crashed here." The ponies were shocked at this and never knew about this war since they have never been informed about this, My guess was that their planet was far away somewhere in the outer rim that no ship has ever attempted to arrive here. "I'm so sorry about what happened on your world and for what treachery these clones have committed, but you are safe here in Equestria and we`ll be more than happy to help you to what you require." Luna said before smiling warmly. "Thank you." Was all I said before deactivating the map and looking at my totaled starfighter. "But you wouldn`t happen to have tools I can borrow?" "I'll get yah some from mah farm, be back in a bit." Applejack said as she trotted down to her farm. "And speaking of which, I need to complete an order for Hoity Toity later, I'll see you all later." Rarity second as Fluttershy had to tend to her animals, Rainbow on weather patrol, and Pinkie on a party she planned later today. The Princesses and Twilight stayed to learn about the Clone Wars, how clones and droids were produced, and how my master Athan and I were more like family than Master and Apprentice. "This was very interesting and fascinating to learn about your culture, but Luna and I must return to Canterlot to fulfill our duties. Please feel free to stop and visit sometime." Princess Celestia said as she charged her horn and were gone in a flash. Spending almost the entire morning talking about myself, I asked Twilight some more things about the pony society that I never quite understood like cutie marks and the Elements of Harmony. A knocking on the door was heard. "Allow me." I humbly said as I opened the door to see Applejack with tools around her back. "I got them tools yah needed, will they work?" She asked. "I grabbed two in my hands and looked before responding. "Yes, these will work fine." I then got outside with the two mares following me as I began to inspect the damaged engines on my starfighter. After an hour, it came time to test the engines. "Alright, here goes." I hoped they start. I pressed the ignition and with a few sputters from the engines they were finally successful in a roar to life. We all cheered in the success and turned off the starfighter. "Glad you got your ship working." Twilight said with glee. "I should be thanking Applejack here for the tools I needed." I turned my attention to the orange mare as she blushed a little. "Aw Shucks, it was nothin at all." She tried to be modest. With all the time left with nothing else to do, I see no reason why to explore the town of Ponyville. "Excuse me Twilight, but I think I`d like to explore this lovely town of yours." I said politely. "Oh of course, Your more than welcome to go off into Ponyville." Twilight responds. "Thank you, Ill be back soon." I responded as I headed into the town and make a few new friends if this is where Im going to be staying while hiding from the Fallen Republic. But if they do find Equestria, they`ll have to got through me to conquer this planet. Author's Note Hello ponies and bronies, Golden here and finally done with another chapter and before I sign off here I just want to say that Im surprised for a little fun project like this story, it has become quite popular and Im still surprised you guys are enjoying this, so Id like to thank you for the support, but I still have my first story 'A Second Chance' to work on so Ill try my best to find time to update both stories. Also with the holidays coming soon and my Semester Exams next week, I do need time to study so some chapters may be later than others and I hope it doesnt come down to it. Also if you look in the galaxy map, Im issuing a little contest to find Eric`s homeworld and first to do so will decide the next chapter. But overall if you enjoyed Like, Comment, Favorite, and Follow and til next time I`ll see you all later.
Rosebuds BloomingI was walking through Ponyville after giving information about the Jedi Order and such and went off to enjoy the day and getting to know the place and maybe make some new friends. So far Ive seen places like a spa, Carousel Boutique, Sugarcube Corner, Sweet Apple Acres, and Town Hall. The residence in the town however, were quite wary of me and hid inside their homes since they havent seen anyone like me before and are quite afraid that I might attack them. I simply showed that I was harmless by walking up to a food stand with apples in it. "Excuse me, but may I ask where the pony running this stand is at so I may purchase an apple?" I asked aloud to see if anypony responded. Sure enough Applejack appeared from behind the stand like she had been back there the whole time. "Howdy Eric, Looking at some apples?" The orange mare asked. "Ah yes, I did get a bit hungry and I was hoping I could get a bite to eat." I replied looking at the various apples in an assortment of flavors. I picked up a Red Delicious and said. "I`d like this one please." But with a simple push from her hoof. "Please, that one is on the house, enjoy Eric." I was elated, but I thought about their economy for a moment that they have small gold coins they call 'bits' instead of the galaxy currency of credits. But not wanting to argue I went along with it. "Thank you Applejack, have a pleasant day." I waved good bye and taking a bite out of my fruit. Soon some ponies seemed to ease up a little and come out knowing that I was harmless, which made me feel good now they don`t see me as a monster. I then thought about my time with the Republic and how I had a little droid companion with me, R7-I32. But was sadly sacrificed himself after saving me for me to escape a burning Separatist cruiser. An honorable droid he was and forever in my heart, he shall be. "I bet Fluttershy has some sort of pet I could have." With that decision in mind, I made way to her cottage that was atop of a little hill outside of Poyville. Upon arrival, I saw the pegasus feeding a bunny a carrot when she saw me. "Oh, Hello Eric, nice to see you." "Its nice to see you as well, I was beginning to think about owning a pet of my own, you wouldnt happen to have any would you?" I asked and with this, I couldnt describe how happy she was and started to introduce me to alot of her animal friends from bunnies to snakes to otters and bears. But I needed a pet that was like my master, wise and someone I can treat like family. I looked at many animals and Fluttershy smiled as I was having a little difficulty finding a pet sutible for me, when I saw it; A baby owl. The baby owl seemed to be about a few months old and able to fly, He also had brown and white feathers and yellow and black eyes. I picked up the owl gently and he began nuzzling my cheek and hopped on my shoulder. Fluttershy couldn`t help but 'Aww' at the sight. "It seems you found your perfect pet Eric." "It seems so, I do thank you for your help Fluttershy." I said extending my hand. "It was nothing, just happy to help." Fluttershy replied by shaking my hand. "Well see you soon." We waved off each other and I started to walk back to the Library as I began to think of a name for my companion, who for some reason keeps disappearing when I struck an idea. "So what should I call you? Hoodini?" I asked the owl as it hooted happily. "Hoodini it is." We agreed, but a scream from within the Everfree Forest was heard and it sounded like a mare was in trouble. "Hoodini, fly overhead and help me locate who`s in trouble." I ordered him and Owlton flew off into the forest with me to follow. Running as quick as I could, Hoodini swooped down to me and lead me into the direction of the scream, and sure enough we found 4 Timberwolves. The mare had a pale yellow coat, raspberry mane with light raspberry streaks, chartreuse green eyes, and a cutie mark of a rose. She was quivering with fear as the wolves moved in for the kill, I didn`t have my blaster with me and ordered Hoodini to get out of the battle ground. As the one of the wolves then pounced to attack the mare, I force-pushed him into a tree and killed him. The wolves looked at each other in confusion until I leapt in front of them and the mare. "You want this mare, you`ll have to go through me." I said with a menacing glare as the wolves snarled in response. I jumped up over the wolves and they watched my movement when I had my back turned. Another wolf tried to ambush me, but met a horrible fate when I activated my lightsaber and stabbed it through his head as I lifted it off the ground and flung it to the other side as my blade slipped out. The two remaining wolves circled around me like sharks to a dying fish. I watched their movements carefully until one pounced for me to quickly jump over it, causing him to overshoot. But like the sneaky creatures they are, the other wolf took advantage and nabbed my left leg. Shaking me violently and teeth slowly sinking in, I needed to get out fast. I then jabbed my lightsaber into the wolf`s eye and exploded. The bite left 2 large bite marks in my leg and I was bleeding fast, but not severely. The last wolf saw I was injured and thought of an easy kill as he ran at me. Though I could hardly stand, I still sensed the wolf`s approach and put my lightsaber in front of me. The wolf then pounced and lunged at me where I pulled my blade in his direction. Like the fool it was, My lightsaber severed the wolf in half from head to tail and fell in two large pieces before exploding. After the battle was won with all the timberwolves dead, I deactivated my lightsaber and looked at my wound again to see it bleed out and turned to the mare I rescued. "Please take me to a hospital." Was all I said before blacking out. (Roseluck`s POV) I was in the Everfree Forest to find some wild roses for a special bouquet for a costumer, when all of a sudden I heard some growling nearby. I ignored it at first, but it wasn`t until 4 Timberwolves emerged from the forest with hungry eyes. I screamed for help in hopes of somepony to rescue me, but it seemed lost when the wolves were about to attack me. I was really scared to know that I may never see my friends or Ponyville again, but as a wolf was about to do me in and I awaited my painful end, all I heard was a yelp and explosion. I looked over to see the wolf in splinters and a creature above me. "If you want this mare, you`ll have to go through me." The creature said and the wolves snarled. The creature jumped over the wolves and killed one of them with his light sword when a wolf pounced on him. The battle was intense since he is risking his life for mine which was really nice and somewhat romantic like how a knight in armor will battle a foul beast for the lovely maiden in distress. But as it seemed he was winning, The wolves pulled off a smart tactic where one wolf was a distraction and the other attacked my savior. I was shocked and watched in horror as the wolf shook the creature by holding his leg in his mouth. I actually though he might lose his leg, but the creature jabbed his sword into the wolf`s eye and exploded. I was relieved and my savior ended the last wolf. I was happy to know my savior saved me and I wanted to tell him how thankful I was, but he only turned around and said. "Please take me to a hospital." and collapsed. I was scared and hoped he didn`t die and then I saw his leg injury and how bad it was. Without a second to waste, I tried to stop the bleeding from his leg. I found a few sticks and tore some cloth from his clothes to make a little gauze and lifted him on my back and ran as quick as I could to the Ponyville hospital. I ran through town with some ponies looking at us, but paid no attention to them as I finally entered the hospital seeing Nurse Redheart and Doctor Horse. "Please help, he saved me from a timberwolf attack and took a severe injury in his leg!" I cried out as the paramedics quickly got a bed out and began to stabilize him. "Dont worry Rose, We havent lost a patient yet. Thank you for getting him here." Nurse Redheart assured me and left to help out the creature. I only stood in the lobby thinking about how he managed to defeat 4 timberwolves singlehandedly. I didn't know why but I actually found him quite....cute Author's Note HelloPonies and Bronies, Obsidian here and I want to say that next week will be my Semester Exams will be a force to be reckoned with and I have little room for error, so I wont post until next weekend. With nothing left to say but, if you enjoyed, Like, Comment, Favorite, and Follow and Ill see you all next time.
I Got a Bad Feeling About This(Ponyville Medical Center) Emerging back into consciousness after blacking out from the blood loss from my leg, I found myself in a comfortable bed in a white room where Im also hooked up to some wires. Im grateful for the pony who I rescued from the forest, returned the favor and saved me. I looked down at my leg to see it completely healed, but there were two scars to where the bite marks from the wolf were more severe. I was snapped out of my thoughts when I heard the door opening to reveal my friends, the nurse (Given by her little nurse`s hat.) and the pony I rescued. "He should be able to leave and if it wasn`t for your healing spell Twilight, We would have amputated his leg." The nurse spoke to Twilight. "It was nothing." Twilight replied as she then saw me awake. "Eric, your up!" The ponies all gathered around me as I couldn`t help but smile. "Are you feeling well, darling?" Rarity asked. "I`m more then well, I feel great thanks to Twilight, the medical staff, and that pony over there." I pointed at the mare with the rose cutie mark as she sheepishly smiled and blushed. "Oh you mean Roseluck, yeah she told us what happened and that was some pretty hardcore stuff dude." Rainbow swooped in low. "Yeah sugarcube and if yah ask me, I wasnt really sure if I could trust yah at first, but the way you saved Rose made me see that yah really are a good pon-er person, I thank yah for everything youve done." Applejack said taking off her stetson hat and looking down, I was to elated to hear that Applejack say those words and for that I could call her more than a friend, in fact I could call all these ponies more than friends, Best friends. "All I can say is that I`m really happy that you all care this much about a being you barely know and treat him so kindly, I believe I can call you all more than my friends." The ponies cheered at this, especially Pinkie Pie who was even more excited and went on about planning some party for me. Roseluck however seemed a little troubled, even when I could since some fear within her through the force. We all heard the door open to reveal the nurse. "Excuse me, Mr. Eric, You are free to leave, you just need to stop by the lobby and sign some paper work." The nurse said. "Thank you miss, I`ll be there in a minute." I replied and she soon left. "So we`ll see you in the lobby." Fluttershy said as she and the others left and said they will see me at the lobby, well all except Roseluck. As I unhooked the wires and slowly got up the bed, I asked. "So Roseluck, I wish to thank you for saving me and if I may ask, How long was I out?" "I-It was nothing, You`ve only been out for a day." She answered a little afraid, but I knew she was hiding something. I went to pursue, but I had to keep it subtle. I began putting on my Jedi Knight attire. "I-I also wanted to thank you for saving me from those Timberwolves yesterday." "I think I should say the same thing for saving my life." As I finished putting my lightsaber on my waist belt. "I also sense some fear coming toward you, is there something you wish to tell me?" This perked up Roseluck and given by her blush, I caught her in a corner. "Ok, When I first saw you and helped me, I felt something like you being the knight to save the maiden in distress. I really like you even if we`ve only met and an entirely different species as I, but I really like thatImayactuallybeinlove." She stopped immediately and gasped at the wordand became frantic to take back what she said. I simply put a finger on her mouth to stop her and replied calmly. "Now calm down Roseluck, I understand you may have doubts with a future relationship with me and that it may never seem to work out, but let me tell you something. I knew this clone named Cut Lawquane on Saleucami, who survived a Separatist attack earlier in the war and he married another being from his own. He is now the father of 2 children and maintains a farm. Now if that one clone can be happy even if he`s married to another being from his own, than whats stopping you from doing so?" "I thought other ponies wuld see us and think it`s weird, but all I care about is you and I want to help be there for you." She replied and I knew her heart was in the right place and meant what she said, so without another word to be said, I simply leaned in for a kiss on the mare. I could tell she blushed in surprise but soon gave into the kiss. Once I broke away, we smiled at one another. "So let`s meet he rest of our friends and get out of here." I said as we left into the lobby. We were greeted by our friends and I signed the paperwork to release me from the hospital. Afterwards we all strolled into the town and talked, but Roseluck and I were going to keep our little connection a secret until the party Pinkie was planning later. All of a sudden, I felt something within the force the hate, the anger, and the feeling of some kind of sith. "That`s strange, I thought aloud and ponies looked up in worry. "What seems to be the matter, darling?" Rarity asks first. "I feel something within the force, something bad." I explained and my feelings were correct as a shadow embedded across the town. We looked up to see a massive starship. It wasn`t Separatist or Republic ship, but I had a feeling it was much worse. "What is that?" Twilight asked with worry. "Im not sure, but I have a feeling were about to find out." I pointed at a small shuttle flying from the ship. The shuttle landed near Townhall and we all went to investigate. Upon arrival and peeking out from behind a building, we saw 6 white soldiers that werent the clones I fought beside followed by 2 officer like men and the one I sense, the sith. Just the Princesses Celestia and Luna arrive, given from the ship looming over 10,000 feet above the ground. "What is thou business here?" Luna spoke in some old English accent. "We simply arrive for some Jedi that we believe is in hiding of this planet, Either hand him over to us or the Empire will invade your planet." The officer replied harshly. The Princesses were disgusted by this and I felt myself in a dire situation, where I must turn myself over to save this planet. "What are we going to do?" Roseluck said with worry. With only one thing to do, I had to turn myself in. "I must go." "What?!" The ponies quietly screamed. "I must, I want to protect you and this planet." I said but they protested. "But, what if they kill you?" Twilight inputted. "Or Take you away?" Roseluck finished. "Listen I know its bad, but do you really think your up for a fight with blasters that can kill?" it was a logical point since they havent been introduced to the warfare technology weve had in the clone wars. But they put their heads down and looked sad as I made my way to the Empire. "I`m the Jedi you seek." I said to them as they all looked at me and activated my lightsaber to support myself as not a fraud. "Ah so you were right, Ma`am." The officer spoke to the sith. "I knew youd would try to hide forever." The sith smiled as I took a defensive stance. "Ill do my best to defend this world, but if it means giving myself up, then so be it." I replied and deactivated my lightsaber. "My master will be pleased with this, Restrain him and bring him to the ship." The sith ordered and the troopers restrained me, took my lightsaber and headed me onto the ship. The Princesses were speechless as everyony else watched as the shuttle flew back to the ship. Author's Note Hello Ponies and Bronies, Obsidian here to say that it was really fun writing this little pet project and how it became popular so fast and I just wanted to say thank you for those who have been supporting it from the beginning. Secondly I have decided to make a sequel to this story once it ends, but that will depend on a majority vote and the voting will end by the end of New Years in 2016, so with everything else in order, Be sure to Like, Comment, Favorite, and Follow me if you enjoyed til next time, I`ll see you all later.
Operation Jedi Rescue(The Imperial Star Destroyer above Equestria) After boarding the shuttle that flew to the ship looming over the land, I was escorted to the bridge like a prisoner of war with troopers surrounding me and one had my lightsaber on his belt. Once on the Bridge a few officers glared at me and left leaving me, 2 troopers, and the sith alone in a transmission room. The transmitter activated to reveal a sith lord whom Id never seen before. "Inquisitor Offee, Is this the Jedi?" He asked the Sith now known as the Inquisitor. "Yes Lord Vader, he didn`t put up a fight but we have him." The Inquisitor replied as something in my mind clicked, when he said Offee, I thought of Barriss Offee, A Jedi traitor to the Republic for thinking Jedi were the real enemy. "Good, we will use him to track Kenobi and other lost Jedi." Vader said as I intervened. "Ill never help you, I dont even know where the other Jedi are." But my words fell to deaf ears as Vader continued, "You may interrogate him, but of he reveals nothing, Bring him to me and I`ll deal with him myself." Vader replied as the transmission ended and we headed toward the interrogation room. Along the way I got to view the interior of the ship and pot out points of attack when I escape, but once we entered the room, I was strapped down til it was only me and Barriss Offee. "So Jedi, where are the Jedi hiding and if you tell me, The Empire will never speak of this planet." She asked nicely. I only glared back and replied bluntly. "I wouldn`t know, I probably would have received a transmission from them." She activated her red lightsaber and held it toward my neck. "Your lucky I cant kill you, but once I turn you over to Lord Vader, Hell probably kill you." Barriss Offee threatened which didnt scare me since I knew nothing of the Jedi whereabouts. "I know who you are and who you use to be Barriss Offee." She got angry when I said that, I could since her anger. "Dont call me that!" "Why not, We both know you use to be Luminara`s prize pupil, but all that went when you committed an order to get hundreds of clones killed and blamed it on Ahsoka. I saw the trial and heard your confession, I was disgusted by your actions." I pursued which seemed to make her rage boil. "I did it to blame the Jedi, they were the real enemy, and once their gone we can finally have peace!" She screamed out, but I wasn`t done. "Peace isnt earned by wiping out an entire race, its earned by the choices and the actions you make and trying to kill the Jedi to form an empire wasnt a bold move, now there will be rebellions against this empire and a new war will start." My master taught me well, Ive began to corrupt her, but I pushed her over the edge. "Take him away to the cell, Ill let Lord Vader deal with this Jedi scum." The two troopers untied me and lead me to my cell in the lower areas of the ship. One still had my lightsaber which was good and I began plotting my escape. (In Ponyville, Roseluck`s POV) With Eric taken onboard the giant spaceship above Equestria, I felt hopeless to see him turn himself in. I had to try and rescue him, but I had no idea how to get up to the ship, then Twilight walked up to the Princesses. "Princess Celestia, we want to save Eric." "But how, The ship could be crawling with hundreds, if not thousands of Imperial troops and officers." Princess Luna inputted first. "But even so, How would we even know how to get in, find Eric and get out?" Princess Celestia finished. as Twilight began searching for the answer. "Wait a moment yall, why not his space ship?" Applejack shot out an answer. "But how will it carry everypony and none of us know how to fly it." Rarity argued back at the idea, as Twilight then found the solution. "I know, follow me." We all headed to Twilgihts Library as Princess Celestia called back. "Good luck my little ponies." I just only want to see Eric again and Ill do whatever it takes. We arrived at the Library to see Eric`s 'starfighter' and Twilght finishing tying the rope from the basket of a hot air balloon. "Ok, So Rose, Pinkie, Rarity Applejack, and Fluttershy will be in the basket, Rainbow Dash you fly and help us when we need some support, while I try to fly the ship." It seemed like a good plan and agreed and hopped into the basket and Twilight in the cockpit. When the engines started, The ship lifted itself up and began wobbling a little and almost slamming into the tree. The next second we zoomed off into the sky almost as fast as Rainbow Dash. We were getting tossed about in the basket as the ship made some violent moves, but eventually got settled down as Twilight began to operate the ship better. As we approached the ship, we felt as if we were being pulled toward the large ship. "Whoa what`s going on?" I asked quite scared. "Is it going to eat us?" Pinkie cried out. "No, its pulling us into this hanger." Applejack pointed as the ship landed on the bigger ships hanger. We all got off the basket to see more of those white beings holding blasters. "Stop right there!" One shouted as Twilight shot a beam at one of them and the rest began shooting at us. We ducked for cover behind some crates as the kept blasting. Twilight then shot a few more beams at them until they`ve stopped. Twilight levitated up a blaster and explained the plan. "Alright everypony, We need to stick together. there could be more of those guys on this ship" She levitated us some earpieces and activated them. "Alright, Lets do this." Applejack said as we split off to locate our friend.
Lets See If This Ship Really Destroys Stars(3rd POV) Twilight and the rest of her friends began to run to find their Jedi friend, but met with another squadron of stormtroopers. This time they fought back by kicking and punching, even Twilight fired a stormtrooper blaster and shot a few of them. The stormtroopers were unable to hit their targets and and were overwhelmed. "OK Twilight, we need to find some sort of map or something, cuz this will be hopeless if were going around in circles." Applejack pointed out as Twilight began thinking. She thought for a moment and remembered what Eric said about comms tables that show almost anything. "I got it, follow me!" They began running until they saw a comms table, but it required a droid to try and access it. "Wait, didn`t Eric say something about droids accessing this thing?" Rainbow questioned and she did prove a valid point until they saw Fluttershy talking to an Imperial droid. "Hello there little guy, Can you please help us with something?" The droid beeped, but determining the sounds of the beeping, it rolled over to the comms table and accessed it through the droid panel. "Way to go Fluttershy!" Pinkie screamed as Fluttershy looked away in embarrassment. "So can you help us find our Jedi friend?" The droid beeped once more and turned the dial and the table began to show the ships interior and the red dot pointing to Erics location. "Is this where Eric is?" Rarity asked looking at the dot. The droid once more beeped and Twilight began to memorize the directions by going 3 floors down and making a left til they reached cell 0235. "OK, lets go!" Roseluck said as all but Fluttershy ran ahead. "Thank you for helping us, your a good droid." The droid beeped happily and Fluttershy asked. "You want to come with us?" Once more a happy beep came from the droid and they began after their friends when the alarm sounded throughout the Star Destroyer and a P.A "Attention, We have enemy ponies aboard, commence lockdown and kill on sight!" This didn`t make the ponies wary, but were concerned about the possibility of moving Eric somewhere else. and they needed to act fast. (Eric`s POV) As I waited in my cell, I heard the alarms from outside and the P.A of my friends coming to rescue me, this gave me a plan. "Oh Thank goodness your here to save me, quickly lets go before the white soldiers finds out!" I said while I was being 'rescued' by my friends and hid quickly when the two troopers came in to see what was happening. I sprung my ambush and punched one of them in the face and kicked the other`s stomach and face. I used the force to grab my lightsaber and got out to close the door and locking the two troopers inside my cell. "Hehe, Senator Amidala taught me that trick well." I chuckled to myself as I went up to the Bridge to steer this Star Destroyer as it is called, into the sun. It wasn`t til I entered the bridge I was fired upon, activating my lightsaber instinctively, I deflected the blasters and killed a few troopers and officers and claimed control of the Bridge. But as I was about to set in the coordinates, I felt the presence of Barriss Offee. "Ah Jedi, Im impressed with your skills, but you know I could teach you far better than what your master did." She began to torment me with my master who honorably died in the Battle over Kashyyyk. "Thats the wrong idea since you have nothing to teach me, besides what would Luminara think if her failed padawan turned to the dark side of the force?" I talked back, but she activated her red lightsaber and I activated my blue and began to fight. This was my 3rd lightsaber battle with a sith other than General Grevious and Count Dooku during the Clone Wars. I batched and weaved through some of her attacks and she blocks mine. In a lightsaber battle, you must be smart and decisive otherwise you wounldnt last a minute against a sith. But it wasnt until our blades clashed and we held to try and gain an advantage, but with one swing from Barriss, My face met the tip of her red blade and left a scar running from my left ear up to the middle of my face. I was using my master`s teachings to get the upperhand in the fight, which in turn did me well. She then force choked me and threw me against the wall and quickly tried to kill me, but I was able to react quickly and dodge her attack and tried to counter attack. I then had a crazy thought came into mind after we stopped. "Barriss, I can sense some good in you, you don`t have to be like Count Dooku. I actually had faith in you when Luminara was teaching you. Barriss you could have been a great Jedi." I said calmly, but she then fired back. "You dont understand, it is the Jedis fault for the war and when the Jedi are gone, The Empire will rise starting with you." "But, Barriss the Jedi allegiance is to the Republic and Democracy, where all planets are free, when you build an Emprire and the Jedi are gone, what will happen then?" I shot back an argument. This definitely got her thinking, I could sense the fear within her, the fear of abandonment and betrayal from her superiors. "Barriss, I can help you, we can help rebuild the Jedi Order and take down the Empire. And if we could, We can look for Luminara." With that, I deactivated my lightsaber and saw the guilt upon her face. When she finally came through, she deactivated hers and we shook. "Alright, but first get on your knees and I`ll do the talking." Barriss said as I complied and she began to activate the comms table, showing Lord Vader as a hologram. "I trust that he has revealed the whereabouts of Kenobi?" He asked in the voice that could intimidate a Jedi Knight. "No, My Lord, I have nothing to reveal, but we will Rendezvous over Coruscant from this planet. The image showed not Equestria, but another system called Ryloth. "We will wait for your arrival." Vader said as the transmission ends. "Alright, I`m steering this thing into the sun, we will hit in about 5 minutes, lets grab my friends and get out of here." I said as Barriss nodded and we ran to locate my friends. Along the way, we met a few stormtroopers, but were no match to skilled Jedi. I had a hunch that they were in the cell area, so that was our primary destination. "So, have any plans for getting out of here?" Barriss asked. "What, Of course I have a plan, just wait and see." I said as we saw my friends down the hall. "Eric!" Twilight screamed as we all ran for a group hug. "We didn`t find you in the cell, but 2 troopers and afterwards we began wandering around." I was glad they were safe, but their happiness turned to anger when the immediately noticed Barriss. "What is she doing here?" they turned like they were ready to fight. I got in between them to prevent a conflict. "Its OK, Barriss and I are friends now, but I wished to explain but we need to go now, I set this ship on a one-way trip to the sun." I said as the ponies understood. A beep was heard and saw an Imperial droid following Fluttershy. "OK now that we are all here, Lets get off this thing." Rarity said as we made a mad dash to the hanger, with the Star Destroyer picking up speed leaving Equestria`s atmosphere and toward the sun. We made our way to the hanger where we met almost an army of stormtroopers and were fired upon. On instinct, Me and Barriss activated our lightsabers and began deflecting the blaster`s fire defending the ponies and droid. I looked around and saw my ship next to a shuttle. "Quickly to the shuttle, I want the droid to fire up my ship and get it to safety." I ordered as I began to cover the ponies. One by one they climbed aboard when all of a sudden an explosion ruptured nearby and knocking the droid over. Barriss saw this and urged me to keep going. I acknowledged it and kept the ponies going. The troopers didn`t mind the droid as it hopped into the droid compartment of my starfighter and flew out the hanger. As I got in the Shuttle and began to activate it, I saw Barriss being hammered and went to the door to help her. "Barriss, Hop on!" I shouted over the blasters. Then a P.A was annouced. "Warning, Impact with star in 1 Minute." I got scared and held my hand out to grab her but she only responded. "No, Eric, get these ponies out. Ill cover you, I will not survive, but Ill go down fighting like the Jedi I was meant to be, But Eric I`m sorry for betraying the Jedi." I knew there was no time to argue but as the door closed she spoke one last time. "May the force be with you Eric, Always." "You too Barriss Offee." and the door closed and I took control of the shuttle and flew out the Hanger in time to get a distance away from the Star Destroyer as it began to explode from impact of the sun. The ponies watched the destruction and were quite sad about the death of Barriss Offee. "Eric, Im sorry about Barriss, she seemed like a good person." Rose sad sadly, and she was right, she died doing something a Jedi would do, sacrificing herself for others. As we flew back to Equestria, the droid that commanded my starfighter appeared on my left side. and it wasnt long before we landed on Equestria once more, with a new companion. Author's Note Hello ponies and bronies, Golden here and there we have it, I did enjoy writing this and I know some of you were hoping to see Lord Vader but I have other plans in play, so be on the lookout for that. I know some of you are sad about Barriss Offee`s death, but an honorable hero is defined by a selfless act no matter how big, In my opinion, she did something any Jedi would have done and all honesty, I would have done the same thing. With all that said, I hope you all enjoyed and if so Like, Comment, Favorite, and Follow me. And til next time, I`ll see you all later and May the Force be With You, Always.
A Commendable Victory(Eric`s POV) During our flight back to Equestria, Destruction of a Star Destroyer, and the honorable death of Barriss Offee, the girls looked out of the windows of the Imperial shuttle we stole to look upon the beauty of space that was above them. Twilight and Rarity seemed more fascinated for fashion and knowledge. "Now I understand why you like space, it truly is amazing to look at." Twilight said while still looking out the window. "And I think I`ve come up with a few new fashion lines for astronomy." Rarity included with her eyes sparkling like the stars. "I never imagined to see Equestria like this." Fluttershy looked over the planet of Equestria. "Yeah, but the way we blew up that giant ship was totally awesome!" Rainbow shouted remembering how I steered the ship into the sun. "Yeah, but Im glad its over, Although this is a lifetime opportunity to see the planet since we`re the first ponies to be in space." Applejack remarked. "Well enjoy it while you can, because we should be entering Equestria`s atmosphere any moment." I said as I sat and controlled the shuttle upon our re-entry. It wasnt as bumpy of a ride as the first time I came but that was due to the damages my starfighter sustained, but with that aside, I had to be sure I dont damage the shuttle. As we re entered the planet, we landed near Town Hall of Ponyville where the Princesses and residents of the town gathered and wondered in curiosity. I opened the door and my friends left the shuttle and Twilight made a mad dash to the Princesses and telling them about the wonders of space. My starfighter landed next to the shuttle and the R2 unit jumped out and rolled up near Fluttershy, who began petting the droid. Soon it was my time to return and as I exited the shuttle, A roar of cheer erupted as I walked up to the Royals. While doing so, I waved at the crowd like the parades on Naboo and smiled when I approached the Equestrian Rulers and bowed to show respect. "Eric, From the citizens of Equestria and ourselves, We wish to thank you for saving Equestria with your courage and bravery to save us from an invasion. By the power invested in us, We wish to bestow you the title of 'Equestrias Jedi Knight'." Princess Celestia said as she used her horn like a blade and tapped it on my shoulders. "Rise young Jedi." Luna ordered but in a calm voice. I complied and turned to the crowd of ponies and the R2 unit who was rattling about and beeping happily. Then Princess Celestia began to illuminate her horn and the sun began to set over the horizon and Princess Luna did the same, but the moon began rising. I was told that they raised and lowered the sun and moon, but this was amazing to see. But what I saw next was the spirit of Barriss Offee, instead of her Inquisitor outfit, but her Jedi outfit she wore during the Clone Wars. Not only that, but My master, Athan appeared next to her as well. They appeared behind the crowd of ponies and smiled at me. I simply responded by smiled back knowing they are now one with the force. Then out of nowhere Pinkie screams. "This victory calls for a PARTY!" and the crowd cheers more as we began to party in the town of Ponyville and Pinkie brought out some sort of cannon and fired confetti and streamers all over the place as music played and everypony was dancing. I walked over to the R2 Imperial droid and knelled down. "I wish to thank you for helping me and my friends." The beeped happily as I continued. "I do wish to ask, Would you be my new companion?" The droid beeped with joy once more. "Its settled then, I shall call you R7-Z9 and Ill get you a new look." The droid beeped once more as I patted the top of the droid and walked off through the crowd. "Eric, wait up!" A voice called to me that was all to familiar, Roseluck. And the little mare stood there behind me a few feet away from me. We both walked up to one another and hugged each other. She then saw my battle scar from Barriss`s lightsaber that streaked from the center of my eyebrows to my left ear. She kissed it like how my mother would whenever I got hurt and to be honest, When she kissed my new battle scar, it actually felt how mother would do it. "Rose, Im sorry I had you worrying earlier." I apologized and brushing my hand over her red mane. "Its alright, I love you too much to be mad at you." Rose replied as I went in for a kiss. The flower mare didn`t waste time returning the kiss and eventually broke away to the sound of fireworks booming overhead. A commendable victory it was over Equestria, but it was far from over as the Empire would sooner or later find out about the me and the fight will be even bigger. Til then, I will be ready. (First Imperial Fleet, Coruscant) Lord Vader was on the Bridge looking over the planet of Coruscant, where ruins of the Jedi Temple remain and the birthplace of the Galactic Empire. Not too far away was the construction of the Death Star, A battle station the size of a moon and can destroy planets with a giant laser powered by a giant Kyber Crystal. It was the Emperor`s favorite and most powerful weapon that took years of scheming as he was Chancellor Palpitine. As Vader looked on the construction of the space station, An Imperial Admiral walks up to the Dark Lord. "My Lord, We searched the Ryloth system for previous activity and so far nothing." Vader doesn`t look back, but replies. "Then it appears Inquisitor Offee have lied and betrayed us, We will scour the Outer Rim until we have located them. We will kill Offee, but not the Jedi." "Yes, My Lord, but why keep the Jedi alive, doesn`t the Emperor want all Jedi dead sir?" The Admiral questioned. "That Jedi may know where the remaining Jedi are. Once we wipe out the Jedi, there will be no stopping the Empire." Vader responds turning to the officer. Another officer whispers something into the Admirals ear and leaves. " Lord Vader, Our scanners have picked up the Inquisitor`s Star Destroyer signal before it was lost. We traced the signal back to an unknown system in the Outer Rim." The Admiral informed. "Then that is where we shall go, but to be sure of it, dispatch a shuttle of stormtroopers to the system and bring the Jedi to me alive, Understood Admiral." Vader ordered. "Yes, My Lord." The Admiral bowed to Vader and walked back to the comms table to assemble a flight to the unknown system. Vader continues to look over the planet and ponders in his mind. "I will find this Jedi, He may be strong, but he could lead me to the whereabouts of Kenobi and I will finally have my vengeance." Afterwards he walks away from the Bridge and to his quarters as the Death Star slowly nears its completion. *The End* Author's Note Hello ponies and bronies Golden here to say this is my first complete story on this site and I want to thank everyone for supporting this story by commenting, Likes, Follows, tracking, and all that other fun stuff.

A New Threat of the Force(Imperial Command Fleet, Somewhere in the Outer Rim) With once the Republic gone and the Empire now risen to power, Almost all Republic cruisers and ships were redesigned, Old Republic bases were abandoned and cloning on Kamino were shut down. A few systems were now under the Empire`s control but it seemed as if all hope was lost since there were so little Jedi to help defend the galaxy and Jedi hunters known as Inquisitors were assigned to locate any surviving Jedi. On the Bridge, Admiral Glenric and a few officers were talking, when the doors behind them revealed Darth Vader. On cue they saluted to their superior and the Admiral spoke. "My lord, things are going as planned with systems under our control, cloning ceases to exist and a few Jedi were wiped out." Vader couldn`t show facial expressions behind his mask, but he knew that he was pleased by the success of the Empire. "You have done well Admiral, but leave the Bridge immediately." Vader said as the Admiral and officers bowed in compliance and left Vader alone in the Bridge. Vade knelled down to the transmission and the hologram of Darth Sidious appeared. "What is the news on the Empire?" Sidious asks with a raspy tone. "The Empire is becoming successful with every Jedi wiped out and system under our control." Vader responds. "Good, Now I feel some powerful Jedi in the force and one of them maybe Kenobi." Sidious informs. "Shall I handle it master?" Vader volunteers. "That wont be necessary, I need you for an important mission later, but for now, Ill dispatch a Star Destroyer and an Inquisitor to deal with this powerful Jedi." Sidious responds and then goes on about Vader`s mission. "It will be done my master." Vader responds as he sends a transmission to the Inquisitor. "Lord Vader, what shall be my bidding?" The Inquisitor bows. "You must locate a powerful Jedi that may be a master and could be training younglings to overthrow our Empire, But when you do find him, Bring him to me, Alive." Vader responds and debriefs the mission. "Yes, As you wish my lord." The Inquisitor bows and the transmission ends. (Lone Star Destroyer, Near Mygeeto) As the transmission from Lord Vader ends, the Inquisitor moves onto the observation area of the Bridge and begins to use the Force to locate the Jedi. As the crew watches on, the Inquisitor opens her eyes and smiles. "Found you, Admiral type in the following coordinates and make the jump to hyperspace." With that the Inquisitor told the Admiral the coordinates and the Star Destroyer left Mygeeto to Hyperspace. Then Admiral goes up to the Inquisitor. "Ma`am, The coordinates you told me to type in were so far away that it may take a day or so to reach the destination." "It won`t matter Admiral, I want that Jedi and it will please Lord Vader." The Inquisitor replies not looking at the Admiral. "Very well then Ma`am." The Admiral responds and walks back into the transmission room. Author's Note Hey ponies and bronies, Golden here and I just want to apologize if this seemed shorter than others, because what else was there to explain about the Empire since we don`t start the Rebellion in the next 16 years. Also here is the picture of the Inquisitor (Not the one from Star Wars Rebels) But a former Jedi that escaped prison after the Order 66. Thats right, Its Barriss Offee, former apprentice of Luminara Unduli and a traitor to the Jedi Order in Clone Wars. I thought of bringing an Inquisitor into the story but it was hard to do so until I stumbled upon Barriss Offee since she was locked up, why not if she escaped and joined the Empire. But I hope you all enjoyed regardless and if you did Like, Comment, Favorite, and Follow me and til next time, I`ll see you all later.
