(Eric`s POV)

The Morning sun began to gleam over the trees of the Everfree as we trekked nearer to the unknown ship's landing site. I was scared on the inside if it was the Empire was making a return for me and plotting an invasion for Equestrias downfall. But in my dream with the Jedi, they said there was a light of hope. Im thinking it could be the Rebels that are against the Empire, but there was one way to find out.

With the only sounds coming from nature surrounding us, Rarity spoke first, but quietly. “Why can`t the ship have landed somewhere else other than this danky forest?” Applejack only gave her a glare that a sith with revenge would give.

“Come on Rarity, Now is not the time. We have to find out who is in the Everfree.” Twilight responded quietly as Pinkie hopped softly close to her. “But Twilight, What if they aren`t the meanie Empire guys and Can I throw them a “Welcome to Equestria” party?”

“Well see Pinkie, but we wont know who we may be up against.” Twilight brought up a good point. But I halted the group and motioned them to get low. We peered over the brush and what I saw was a VCX-100 Freighter with a VCX series auxiliary starfighter on the back. The freighter was mostly used for cargo and good transport during the Clone Wars and I`m surprised that one actually survived after a serious blow on the Transport run to Geonosis.

I turned to look at my friends and spoke. “Alright, Im not seeing any Imperial insignias on the ship, so I think we are in the clear.” A could tell they felt the wave of relief wash over them like an ocean breeze, but we still need to know who the crew is and what they are here for. I continued to look over for any sign of the crew.

The sound of the door opening was the evidence I need to hear as the crew stepped out of the ship. The crew consisted of a Twi`lek pilot, C1-10P, A Lasat, A female Mandalorian, A 15 year old teen, and a man. I was relieved that they are not the Empire, but another thought inside my head came. “What if they are undercover?” The ponies were fascinated by the different species they had never laid eyes upon, but still kept low and quiet to avoid detection.

“So what do we do? The Hyperdrive is fried and we lost comms to the fleet.” the female Mandalorian said as they left the ship. “First off, we need to know if the Empire knows about this place and if there are hyperdrive parts we may need to replace.” The Twilek responded. "Lets just hope they arent as hostile, I really think Ive pulled something last time on Lothal." The Lasat groaned as he tried to massage his back.

“Well if we are on a remote planet, I doubt well score some luck here since whoever the inhabitants are, are probably not aware of the rebels that are against the Empire.” The man made a solid point. I was relieved that theyre not with the Empire, but I heard what I needed to hear and went to make my presences known.

I turned to my pony friends and said. “Alright we are in the clear, so lets greet our new guests and Pinkie can throw a party for them later.” Pinkie beamed and made a mad dash back to town as the others agreed.

I stepped out of the brush to meet our guests. “Hello there and Welcome to Equestria.” They looked at me and the 15 year old was the first to step up. “Hi there, My name is Ezra Bridger and my friends, Kanan, Hera, Sabine, Zeb, and Chopper.” He introduced the crew.

“Well my friends, perhaps I shall introduce my friends as well.” I whistled to motion them to come out and once they did, I couldn`t describe the looks on their faces. “This is Twilight, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, and Roseluck.” I introduced them and they all smiled except Fluttershy who just cowers behind Applejack.

“Its a pleasure to meet you all, I`m excited to learn more about extra-terrestrial creatures from the vast cosmos.” Twilight said with eagerness in her voice.

“As nice as it sounds, we are on a mission and our hyperdrive was shot when we tried to escape the Empire.” Zeb said as the ponies gasped with fright. Zeb looked confused. “What? Did I say something?”

“No, Its that we've had our little scuffle with the Empire and I'm lucky to still be alive after a fight with an Inquisitor. I pointed at my scar from Barriss's lightsaber. Then this got the crew thinking, but I didn't want to go out and say I was a Jedi just yet, but at least help them out.

“But enough with the talking, I'll help you get a hyperdrive.” This put a smile on almost every face as Hera turned around to Chopper. “Chopper stay with the ship and see if there are any more damages.” Chopper beeped and headed back inside the ship as I lead the crew to Ponyville.

Along the way, conversation sparked up once more. “So, How long have you been here?” Ezra asked.

“I've been here for 2 years, I was originally from Balmorra and I wanted to see the galaxy as a child.” I explained remembering the childhood from Balmorra.

“Well I'm quite curious to how this Empire began?” Applejack said as it was a few moments before I had to reveal my true self. “All will be explained, besides we just need to help our friends here and I'll explain everything.” I said as she nodded in understanding. “So tell me Kanan, what is it that you do in the crew, Gunner? Navigator?” Rainbow asked.

“Well I`m more of a strategist and Jedi Master for Ezra here.” Kanan replied as this caught my attention. “So your a Jedi?”

“Yes, but I`m probably one of the last.” He said sadly and a hint of anger. “Now Kanan, I'll let you on something, The Inquisitor I fought, was once a Jedi as well named Barriss Offee. She was the former apprentice of Luminara. With reasoning, I changed her over to the light.” I explained as I now had his full attention.

“Where is she now?” Ezra asked. “Shes one with the Force now, after sacrificing herself for me and my friends.” I responded and began to go over how the Empire wanted me to join them and that I steered a Star Destroyer into the sun. Before we realized it, Were already back in Ponyville town limits.
