(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.
