General Grievous as a...Pony?
1-The New Lifeforms
Load Full StoryNext ChapterIt was 20 BBY in the years of the Clone Wars. General Grievous, General of the Separatist Droid Army and Supreme Commander of all battle droids, was inside his newest flagship, the Subjugator-class heavy cruiser Malevolence II , that was hovering over Equestria. Inside the Bridge of the Subjugator-class heavy cruiser, Grievous looked at his Driver Battle Droids.
"Sir, the C-9979 Landing Crafts are ready to land the droids on this....Equestria," one of the Driver Battle Droids told the General.
"Good. Tell TV-94B to prepare the droids for landing!" Grievous commanded.
"Roger, roger," the Driver Droid responded.
Meanwhile on Equestria, the Mane 6 were inside the Castle of Friendship. They were eating pancakes.
"Mm, these are delicious, Pinkie Pie!" Applejack told Pinkie Pie.
Pinkie slurped some of her food. "Thanks! Twilight spent all night helping me pick the flavor!" the pink pony explained. "I kept thinking we'd found the right one, but she insisted I make even more to try. And more. And more and more and more and more! It was like she never wanted to—"
"Leave?" Fluttershy asked.
"Exactly!" Pinkie continued before taking another bite of her pancake. "Eventually, we ran out of time so we just went with every-berry-any-chip-surprise! The surprise is I lost a measuring spoon in the batter. Somepony's gonna get a very special pancake!"
"Up all night, huh? Is that why she's so, uh... out of it? " Rainbow Dash asked the Mane 6.
The Princess of Friendship was snoring at the table.
Inside the Aurore-class freighter ALC-9, Darth Maul and Savage were on their way to Equestria.
"Brother, why are we headed to Equestria?" Savage Opress asked his brother.
"Because these...ponies, are interesting allies to us, Brother. We shall soon destroy Kenobi with the ponies. The Separatists and the Republic will fall together," Maul explained.
"I hope these ponies are as strong as you say, Brother," Savage said, groaning.
"Yes. I hope so as well."
Then ALC-9 arrived out of hyperspace at Equestria seeing the massive Subjugator-class heavy cruiser above the planet.
"That's a Separatist ship, Brother!" Savage yelled.
"Yes. They'll might be trying to gain the planet for the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Well, you know what, destroy that ship!"
"Heading to the weak points now, Brother!" Savage said before turning ALC-9 to attack the Subjugator-class.
ALC-9 headed towards the engines of the Malevolence II.
Inside the hangar bay of the Malevolence II, Grievous looked at his C-9979 Landing Craft. He walked over to his personal T-series tactical droid, TV-94B.
"Sir, we are ready for takeoff," TV-94B told the General.
"Begin preparations for our landing," Grievous commanded.
"Yes, General."
A B1 Battle Droid ran up to the Supreme Commander. "Sir!" the battle droid yelled.
Grievous turned around. He looked at the B1. "What is it?"
"We have a freighter attacking the starboard engines from behind!" the B1 reported.
"Who's in the freighter?" the cyborg asked.
"We picked up two Zabraks piloting the freighter sir," the B1 responded. "It seems these are the same Zabraks that tried to kill Count Dooku and others."
"Launch my legion and prepare to land!" the cyborg General commanded.
"Roger, roger," the B1 responded.
The Grievous Legion launched out of the Malevolence II's hangar and headed towards the Aurore-class freighter. The 4 Vulture Droids were led by Leader Vulture Droid and the Second-In-Command, Speedy Vulture Droid, alongside two members, Smart Vulture Droid and Cool Vulture Droid.
"Focus your fire on the freighter!" Leader Vulture commanded.
"On it!" Speedy Vulture yelled as he rushed towards the Aurore-class freighter.
"Speedy Vulture, WAIT!" Smart Vulture yelled.
"UGH! Does he ever listen?!" Cool Vulture asked.
"Not now, Cool Vulture!" Leader Vulture screamed.
The Grievous Legion tried to attack the sinister Darth Maul and Savage Opress, but the Aurore-class freighter moved up and hit the engines of the Malevolence II.
"Good! Their engines have been hit!" Maul smiled. "Destroy the fighters!"
"Yes, Brother!" Savage responded.
Then, ALC-9 attacked The Grievous Legion. Speedy Vulture Droid attacked the engines of the Aurore-class freighter and damaged it. Both the Malevolence II and ALC-9 were crashing into Equestria. Grievous and his droids shook inside the hangar. The Malevolence II crash-landed near the Castle of Friendship while ALC-9 crashed near Carousel Boutique. The Mane 6 heard the loud crash.
"What in Equestria was that?" Rarity asked the Mane 6.
Twilight woke up. "Oh my gosh! It came from outside!"
"Whoa!" Applejack yelled as she looked at the fallen droid warship.
"Come on Girls! Let's go check out that thing!" Twilight commanded.
The Mane 6 rushed downstairs to check out the Malevolence II.
Grievous, 3 B1 Battle Droids, 2 IG-100 MagnaGuards, 4 B2 Super Battle Droids, 5 BX-series droid commandos, and TV-94B walked out of the Subjugator-class heavy cruiser.
"Where are we?" the 1st B1 Battle Droids asked.
"Doesn't look like home," the first B2 Super Battle Droid stated.
"Because it's not. We are not on Geonosis," the fifth BX-series droid commando corrected the B2.
Grievous looked around. "Contact the fleet! We need to get a shuttle down here!" Grievous commanded.
"Yes, General," TV-94B responded. "General, we have lifeforms headed our way."
"Huh?" the General responded.
Grievous and the droids looked at the Mane 6.
"Who are you?" Grievous asked.
"Yeah! Are you dangerous?" one of the B2 Super Battle Droids asked.
"I'm Princess Twilight Sparkle, ruler of Ponyville. What is your name?" Twilight Sparkle said.
Grievous and the droids walked forwards and then bowed. "I am General Grievous, former warlord of the Kaleesh and current Supreme Commander of the Droid Armies of the Confederacy of Independent Systems." Grievous introduced. "My ship has crashed from two Zabraks. They'll kill you all if you ever meet them!"
"Yeah! He's not a droid! He hates being called a droid," the first B1 Battle Droid stated.
"You may stand," Twilight said.
Grievous and his battle droids stood as Rainbow looked at AJ. "I can't believe this Kaleesh dude and his droid minions are bowing to Twilight, the egghead," Rainbow whispered.
"Yup. That's kinda awkward," Applejack stated.
"What are those cool things you have with you?" Pinkie Pie asked.
Grievous looked back at his droids. "My troops? Oh? These are battle droids," he explained.
"Hi!" the 3rd B1 Battle Droid greeted.
"Hello," Fluttershy said, still scared.
Grievous looked back at the Mane 6. They didn't look mean. They actually looked kinda of peaceful. He was just worried about what would happen if Darth Maul and Savage Opress ever found them.
"We need to take cover!" Grievous commanded the ponies and the droids.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" Rainbow yelled. "How dangerous are these Zabraks you're talkin' about?"
"They're super dangerous! They can and will kill you if you don't take cover!" Grievous tried to explain.
"Never fear, General! We'll be at your side at all costs!" Rarity stated. "We've fought against many evils in the past!"
"But you don't understand! These creatures are monsters!" Grievous yelled.
"We'll be able to kick their rumps back to where they came from!" Applejack told Grievous.
Grievous thought. The ponies had no idea what was coming to them. As he and his droids were thinking, Starlight Glimmer walked behind a bush. She looked at the cyborg Kaleesh General.
"Hmm. Twilight and her friends got a new ally. I can fix that," Starlight Glimmer said , smiling evilly.
Starlight Glimmer used her magic and touched the General. A BX-series droid commando spotted the magic surrounding the cyborg.
"Sir! Something's hitting you!" the BX stated as one of the IG-100 MagnaGuards ignited his electrostaff.
Grievous turned and saw the green magic lifting him up into the air. "What?! Ponies?! What kind of joke is this?!" Grievous asked, his tone angry.
"We're not doing anything!" Twilight yelled.
"And judging by the color of that magic..." Rarity started.
"Starlight Glimmer!" Applejack yelled.
"Starlight Glimmer?! That's impossible! We defeated her before!" Fluttershy screamed.
"HELP ME, DROIDS!" Grievous screamed.
"Right away, General," TV-94B said.
The T-series tactical droid ran over to the General, who was being transformed into something. He and 2 B2 Super Battle Droids tried to pull him down, but the T-series tactical droid saw that there was no stopping Starlight Glimmer's magic.
"I cannot pull him down. The probability that the General will be safe is 6,000 to 1," TY-94B stated.
"Nobody cares about that, droid!" Rainbow Dash yelled. "We don't need stupid tactical information to know that General Grievous won't survive!"
"Excuse me?! I don't like the way your talking about me!" TV-94B yelled.
"Not now, Mister...." Pinkie started.
"TV-94B."
"Mr. TV-94B, we're not trying to upset you, but we need to figure out what's wrong with General Grievous," Pinkie told TV-94B calmly. "Okay?"
"Very well, pink one," TV-94B responded.
General Grievous was then transformed. A massive white light forced the ponies and droids and to cover their eyes. After the transformation, Starlight Glimmer took off running.
Grievous looked at himself. The General looked at his legs. What happened to my legs? Why do I feel shorter? he thought. He saw that his legs and arms were now...pony legs? What happened to ME?! he thought. I'm A-A-A PONY?!
The droids and Mane 6 walked over to the ponified cyborg General.
"Sir?" the second B1 Battle Droid asked.
"WHOA?!" Twilight yelled.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" Fluttershy and Rarity screamed.
"Now wait just a goll-darn minute! How did General Grievous turn into a...pony and he doesn't have any flesh?" Applejack said
"YEAH! I think that's totally weird!" Pinkie stated.
"Yikes! Our General looks like that?!" the fourth BX-series droid commando yelled.
"Yup. The Supreme Commander of Droid Armies as a pony cyborg!" the third B1 Battle Droid stated.
"How did General Grievous get all those cybernetics parts on him?" Rarity asked, worried.
Grievous looked at Rarity. "I got them from the Jedi!" Grievous yelled.
"The Jedi?" the Mane 6 gasped.
"I'll tell you the rest of the story later," Grievous said sadly, not trying to remember the terrible accident. "Right now, we need to contact Count Dooku."
"But you can't contact him," Fluttershy stated. "Your ship is destroyed and those awful Jedi could be chasing you down."
"And you wouldn't want to contact your leader looking like that," Rarity told the Kaleesh.
"General, what should we do?" TV-94B asked the cyborg.
"I'll know what to do! Come along General Grievous," Rarity commanded. "I'll get you a better pony outfit for you to wear!"
Rarity then dragged Grievous over to her boutique with her magic. "What?! Oh boy," Grievous said.
Grievous thought in his head. I don't want to be disrespectful to this pony. I have to wait and see what she'll do to me...
The droids looked at the Mane 5.
"So what do we do, Princess?" the first B1 Battle Droid asked Princess Twilight.
"Yeah! We don't know what your friend is going to do for our General," the third B2 SBD stated.
"Oh,don't worry. Rarity won't hurt Grievous," Twilight said.
"I hope," Pinkie Pie said. "Rarity sometimes..."
TV-94B turned his head around and looked at Pinkie. "Sometimes WHAT?!" the blue and beige T-series tactical droid asked,
"Well, she likes to put glitter and other things on ponies, so she could hurt the General by giving him a whole bunch of stuff the Kaleesh doesn't want," Pinkie Pie explained.
"Oh great," the third BX-series droid commando stated. "General Grievous will be a loss to the Separatist Droid Army."
"Why do ya say that?" Applejack asked.
"Because without the General of the Confederacy, we won't stand a chance against the Republic," the second B1 Battle Droid said, sadly.
"The Republic? Is that the side the Jedi support?!" Fluttershy asked.
"Yes. The Galactic Republic is the enemy of the Confederacy Alliance," the fourth B2 SBD said.
"Wow. Why do these Jedi attack battle droids?" Twilight asked.
"Probably because they're stupid!" Rainbow laughed.
"Silence!" TV-94B yelled. The T-series tactical droid's red eyes glared at Rainbow Dash. "A Jedi once said this to us battle droids: 'Destroying battle droids, is a necessary evil'."
The Mane 5 gasped.
"That's rude!" Pinkie yelled.
"The Jedi claim to be the heroes across the galaxy freeing planets from us. But we don't even do anything, half of the time," TV-94B sadly stated.
"You poor things!" Fluttershy stated. She walked up to TV-94B, and hugged him.
