They shared the weird, yet fascinating system a star orbiting the planet itself. The Empire send major portions of its now exhausted fleets to the new system of EQ-U35T or Equest for short, a nearby Republic fleet had been scouting the hyperspace lanes and found that the empire is sending half of its fleet to the star system. The republic having no choice decided to send half of their new ships from the core planets to Equest in order to protect its inhabitants. In the planet of Equest, the inhabitants had just finished making several technological breakthroughs such as blaster rifles and holograms from the unknown wreckage that had been floating and crashing to the planet quite recently, But little do they know that the entire planet is about to change //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter I //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter I "Tonights the night!!" as Twilight jumps gleefully to the nearest books from her massive library. It was 6:30PM in the evening and spike has yet to return from gathering all the food they would need for the Star-Gazing session. The door creaked, revealing a green dragon carrying several bags of Hay fries, Muffins, Cupcakes and all sorts of food and beverage's. "Geez Twi, you must be very excited for this aren't ya?" Spike groaned as he lay down all the snacks on the table neatly. "YES I AM" Twilight shouted in excitement startling spike a little, she levitate's a specific book titled "Astronomical Wonders" By Star Swirl "It say's here on this night the sky will shine with magnificent aurora's that stretches all over Equestria." She continued explaining the story to spike who is sitting in a nearby stool eating a ruby. "Huh, now i know why you sound so excited for this." Spike giggles as he continued munching down the ruby. "Might be a good opportunity for you and Rarity" Twilight joked and wiggling her eyebrows a bit. "H-Hey! no need to bring that up" Spike was blushing furiously while making a little filly's face when shes angry. Twilight giggled a bit and trotted up to the nearest chair and take the apple right beside her. There they waited for 45 minutes until the bell from the door ring. It revealed 5 Ponies trotting up to her with a dark purple skin and hair that flows with the wind. There she is princess Luna herself, not that Twilight had never met of course. They exchange hugs and proceeded to walk inside the library. "So Twi when do ya think we ya'll should be goin to the site?" said Applejack while trotting up to Twilight. Over the past year's Applejack had change a different fashion sense, wearing a long leather coat with a sweater inside of it. Although it can be very hot working on Sweet Apple Acre's Applejack doesn't seem to mind the head, all she cares is that at least she can be identified way easier in times of panic. "I think two hours will be enough for us to get ready for the journey cause this place is far away from Ponyville" She said to Applejack. Applejack was about to speak until a cyan mare interrupted her. "Why not now its better if we leave now" Rainbow dash groaned loudly that Applejack heard Twilight's Neighbour and close friend, Lyra shouting "SHUT THE FUCK UP IM TRYING TO SLEEP HERE" and proceeded to loudly close the window's. "S-So Anyone up f-for some t-tea?" Fluttershy asked softly but loud enough for everyone to hear. "Why yes darling, i think my tongue is starting to taste awfully dry" Rarity said to Fluttershy and proceeded to help Fluttershy get the tea ready for everypony. Two hours has passed with several cups of tea and a couple intriguing discussions between Twilight and Princess Luna, and the timer that Twilight had set up two hours ago has started ringing. "So are we all ready for the trip?" Twilight asked everyone and they all nodded. "Good, so lets get going" Twilight was filled with excitement that she ran once outside the library. The Journey was nice they had very few problems only when spike needs to go take a leak in the forest. The area their going is called the singing forest and it said to have music that sounded so beautiful that they can feel soft pillows and roses landing on anypony's hair. The swamp wasn't smelly it smells very nice with puddles that glows gloomy blue in the inside and crystal blue on the rear of each puddle. "Here we are, the singing forest!" Twilight said to the pony's (and dragon) behind her. They all shocked in awe like they've never seen such a thing before, Twilight swear that she could see a teardrop from Princess Luna's eyes. "So shall we get ready?" Twilight smirked a little then soon turning into a grin. Meanwhile in the planet of Sylron, the sound of ships flying up in the sky, army's marching inside to the hangar of star destroyers, victory cruisers and acclamator ships filled the planet with the sounds of machinery from the local population of the planet which fully supports the empire. A man in a officer's uniform walked up to the bridge of the newly built Super Star Destroyer titled "Ad Victorium" (Which stands for To Victory"). The officer double checked all the crew's members, ships that he and five other of the most talented Captain and Admiral's he'd ever known own, weaponry, troops and supplies. A Holographic figure shines from the terminal near him, it was the admiral himself. "Officer Roderick is every thing all set for our imminent departure?" The admiral asked to him putting his arms behind his back in order to look professional. "Everything's is in control and we are ready to go, admiral Aldmer" Roderick said in a calm and monotone voice. "Excellent work Officer, next time we meet you are sure getting a promotion" the admiral grinned before ending the transmission. Roderick walked up to the bridge of the leading star destroyer Ad Victorium, ordering all of the men in the bridge for departure, he then soon speaked up to the transmission control and contacted everybody on the ship to get ready. "All men prepare for departure, set course to the system EQ-U35T" The officer calmly said to the mic, as he calmly walked to the nearby chair that shows an entire view of the bridge and the entirety of space itself (in the bridge of course). Dozens of ships prepared themselves for hyperspace to the nearest planet for them to restock and gather the vehicle's as there is none in the current planet their still on. "Prepare for hyperspace jump in 3...2...1..." Then the transmission cuts into static... The officer sits there in his command chair looking at the beautiful hyperspace, it looks like the wave's of Naboo heading towards a great light which Roderick calls "The Great Galactic Empire." Of course other crew members have different names for it for example, a former friend of Roderick now an advisor for the new Republic used to call it the Tranquility Lane which in that time Roderick would agree but now all of that is different. Sure Roderick and his friend still keep in touch with each other but their not as close as they were back in the Pre-Galactic Empire day's. He guessed that it will take awhile before their ship would reach the nearest planet to the Equest system, so he went up from his chair and proceeded to walk across the ship. He stumble upon two stormtrooper casually talking and complaining on how if they put their helmet's on they usually can't see very well at their target that, Roderick would agree on. He walked up to the stormtroopers who are taking off their helmets to have some refreshments from the cafeteria. "O-oh! umm Good day to you Captain" One of the stormtrooper said, rushing to put back his helmet on and saluting to the captain of the ship himself. "Good day to you trooper" Roderick said to the stormtrooper who had been panicking a little bit to much. "I see you are complaining about your helmets?" Roderick said while grabbing the nearest glass of water and drinking half of the water. The stormtrooper's gulped silently and nod at each other. "Yes sir, these crappy excuse of a helmet makes our aim horrible in combat." One of the stormtrooper complained while being interrupted by his friend right beside him. "We can barely hit anybody with these things on" He yelled at the captain but was soon stopped by his friend. He whispered silently into his ear claiming to not yell at the captain, Roderick chuckled. "Heh i agree, back in the old day's i usually can aim down several targets in just a matter of seconds and hitting them dead centre" Roderick replied while putting down his now empty glass of water. "R-Really sir?" The stormtrooper's said in a shocked face. "Yes, well that was ten years ago when i stole one of the old republic trooper's helmet." He said to the troopers, now those two were really listening. "I thought those type's of helmets were all gone" The trooper said but the captain just chuckled silently. "You can still get some from looting a dead clone's corpse" Roderick said to the troopers. He exit out from the cafeteria and into his rest area. He didn't need to change, all he needs to do is just lay on the bed then he (most of the times) sleeps instantly. He lay his body on the bed and whispered silently. "Those were the day's" then soon adrift into deep sleep. The Senate was in disarray at the moment as they debate on what to do with any local inhabitants of the planet. One suggest evacuating all of them but it will be to risky as the empire might already be there. Alex Karevn, the advisor from Annex stood silently right beside Princess Leia. As being her advisor, he usually helps Leia with any matter's that Leia alone couldn't handle by herself like Military Operations, Political Matter's, or anything in that matter of fact. Today she asked him to be in the senate as her delegate and granted permissions to come up with any idea's. "So Alex" The princess said, turning her head a little to Alex. "Got any idea's?" She said. "Well i got one but it might be a little bit to risky" he said to the princess, suddenly she looks intrigue with what he had said. "So tell me this idea of yours" While giving him a grin. He explained to the princess that we should assemble the newly trained troops to set a small base at the planet without the empire realizing that the republic's troops are even on the planet, as soon the empire had landed all their troops the men at the base would contact the republic's ships and order them to get out from hiding and take them out by surprise, if all of that didn't work he has several connections with the imperial command that they would allow a strike team to sneak into their capital ship and disable the self destruct button. "This idea of yours sounds incredibly risky but it's the first good idea i've heard so far in this debate" The princess thinks to herself a bit before making the final decision. "Alright i'll shall speak of this idea of your's to the senate immediately" She said to Alex before speaking out to the senate. After the debate they both walk out from the senate and headed for their ship where they would meet her Brother, Luke for assistance. He has been looking all over the galaxy for any remaining Jedi that he can find to help him find more force sensitive's for the New Jedi Order to train. They have already several thousand force sensitive's awaiting for confirmation and dozens of jedi master's, knight's, padawan's, and many more. The most noticeable jedi in the order is Ashoka Tano, a padawan from the deceased Anakin Skywalker, she has survived the clone wars, and had been resurrected once by the light side of the force, and helped countless of rebels get their jobs done on raiding the empire. Today though Ashoka was on the ship that Leia was heading and she soon stepped out from the ship. "So Princess, hows it going?" Ashoka said giving her a wide grin. "Quite stressful, all these diplomatic missions has been exhausting for me and Alex" She replied as Alex helped the princess get up the ship. It was an average size ship filled with three dozen Arc Trooper's that they stoled from Kamino few years back and disabled their aging acceleration so they could have them a little longer. They have unparalleled loyalty to the Republic, The Jedi, and especially to Ashoka. They led on numerous secret attacks on the empire for two years and now would do so again. "Welcome back ma'am" Said the highly decorated Arc Trooper, He has several black paints on the helmet with the emblem of the rebellion and red paint on his torso with the nickname of wolf. "You to Wolf" She said to him while giving him a tiny nod, Alex soon walked up to the trooper and began talking with him. "So Ashoka" Said the princess, Ashoka turned her head to Leia as they continued walking to the ships control. "Yes Princess" She replied giving her a slight curious look. "I need your help, i would like you to go with my advisor in orbit for awhile." The Princess said as they finally reached the control room. "Why?" Ashoka asked. "Because we will need to land on a new planet filled with potential new candidates for the senate." The princess replied, they soon sit on the nearby table while ordering a drink. "Alright so are you saying that we show the local inhabitant's our existence?" Ashoka ask as she soon take a sip from a glass of alcohol. "No don't i would like you to supervise the construction of a small base we set up on the planet." She said while looking at Tano quite calmly. "Why don't we reveal ourselves?" asked Tano. "Because we do not want the locals to start firing at us if their hostile." She replied. The sound of the engine's starting roared the ship and soon an announcement was made. "All crew member's we are taking off to: Coruscant Orbital Port." then the announcement bot stopped speaking "I'll best be heading off with the princess, see you later wolf" Alex said to Wolf after having a very nice conversation as usual. Alex walked up to the control room only to find Ashoka Tano sleeping on Leia's lap. They both giggled quitely and Alex soon sit right next to the Jedi knight who went to sleep. "So princess why are we going to the Orbital Port?" Alex ask to his princess. "We're going to drop off you, Ashoka, and the trooper's there to join up with the ship that will make the base on the planet." The princess replied and giving him a grin. "I think it's about time for you to return to the field Karevn." the princess said and passing him a DC-15a rifle. It was battle scarred with a blood splatter on the muzzle to the pure golden trigger with scratched letter's saying "The Giver." Alex looked at it in awe as he remembers the old memories he had as a bounty hunter. Those we're the day's where he would go and complete any contract that he was given excluding the empire. He started to tear up as he remember's the very reason why he joined the rebellion in the first place, his family that lived on the peaceful world of alderaan was killed when the death star destroyed Alderaan, killing countless billion's of people including his wife and three kids. He layed his head on the table and started crying a bit before speaking up again. "T-Thank you princess, i swear i wont fail you" Alex swore to the princess before standing up and heading up to his cabin. "Wait till he see's that old relic of an armor" the princess whispered to herself while patting Ashoka's back. Soon then the ship was consumed by a certain middle aged man shouting Holy Fuck!! //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter I: Flashback //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter I: Flashback 5 Years Ago The air smelled like shit, gasoline, and toxins from the city itself on the planet of Nal Hutta. A bounty hunter wearing an ancient mandalorian mask with a hooded robe on covering his face, armor and weapons he's currently bringing. The target was an exiled Arc Trooper now rebel commando, the job was handed to him by the empire to eliminate the trooper before he start rallying more people of the planet behind him. It promise's twenty five thousand credit's for his capture or death. The bounty hunter entered the local saloon and soon a crowd was glaring at him like they know what kind of person he is. He went to the bartender and handed him a bag of credit's. "200 credit's for the rebel commando's location" the bounty hunter said in a deep voice probably caused by the mask. The bartender grabbed the bag and gets closer to the man. "He's staying above the saloon, 5th floor, room 549." The bartender whispered before removing his head away from the bounty hunter. Suddenly the crowd that had been looking at him for the past several minute walked up to him and seemed like preparing to grab their blaster's from their pocket's. One of them pointed at the bounty hunter's head, but the saloon went dead silent there was a slight chuckle before the bounty hunter grab's his dual DL-44 pistol's in his pocket's and immediately rapid firing all five target's. All hit. The bar soon was filled with gasps and shock's but the bounty hunter knew he would need to hide the corpse later on. He ran up to the fifth floor, room 549 and barge into the door. Hes not there, the bounty hunter looked around the room to see if there's anything that might lead him to the commando. He walked to the next room to see a broken window, he rushed to the window and saw the rebel running on top of the nearby buildings. The chase is on, the bounty hunter jumped out from the window and proceeded to chase the target. "GET AWAY FROM ME YOU SICKO" The trooper shouted before grabbing his DC-14s laser pistol and started firing the bounty hunter. One of the shot's hit the shoulder but that isn't enough to slow him down. Then it was his turn to fire he grab's his pistol and started firing at him, of course his aim would be good if the blaster didn't hit his lucky left arm. He missed most of the shot's before plummeting down to the street's of Nal Hutta. It was cramped with clothe's hanging from one building to another, civilians that keep blocking the way and don't forget the target's allies. He was stopped by a dead end, yet he still couldn't find the target. Suddenly he heard a voice continued by several other's, it sounded like several dozens of people had him encircled. "Game over bounty hunter" the commando said to the now trapped bounty hunter, there was shouting and yelling all over him but he remained calm and patient. The bounty hunter chuckled a bit before picking up two object's from his pocket's. Soon the alley way was coloured purple and yellow, the sound of people gasping made his day already now he just wanted to kill again. "Well ain't that cute fella's, our friend here has two lightsaber's" The commando said to crowd behind him, soon the crowd was laughing at the bounty hunter. "Suit yourself" Said the bounty hunter, then the alley way that was filled laughter soon filled with screaming and pain. The commando lay's on the ground mortally injured with both of his legs been cut off by the dual saber's. He lay there coughing and looking at the bounty hunter with fear. "PLEASE MERCY" Shouted the commando, he was tearing up and was begging for the bounty hunter to have mercy for him. But a deal's a deal and proceeded to kill the commando head first. The now decapitated commando's head started pouring out blood and the bounty hunter grab's the head and puts it on a hook on his belt. He looked at his left hand and a hologram of Darth Vader soon pop out. "Have you completed my contract?" Asked Darth Vader, he looks like his in a middle of something but i dont think he would mind telling him the new's. "Yes my lord, you'll be receiving it on Coruscant" The bounty hunter replied. "Excellent work hunter, you'll be receiving your credit's now" Darth vader said in an amused voice, then a writing appeared saying that the bounty hunter has received twenty five thousand galactic credit's. "Thank you my lord, contact me if you need any more targets to be eliminate-" He was silent as he heard a sound of a huge explosion at the background. *TRANSMISSION END* *LOADING UP GALACTIC NEWS* It showed a wall of holographic text floating with images the recent one made him dead silent. Alderaan destroyed: The peaceful world of Alderaan had lived in peace for many year's and had been the best place for any galactic vacation's, unfortunately it was destroyed by the galactic empire's new super weapon nicknamed "The Death Star" a weapon capable of destroying planets. The empire chose to target Alderaan for unknown reason's. Speculation had come up that the rebellious Princess Leia of Alderaan refuses to share information to the leader of empire, Darth Vader and his company of Grand Moffs. In addition to that the Galactic Senate has been disbanded permanently as the emperor believes that if there's traitor's within the empire it will be most likely be the senate for its utter corrupt system, one example of this is Princess Leia which we have already speculated might be the reason why the Galactic Senate is disbanded and the destruction of alderaan itself. Thats it for galactic news. The bounty hunter's hand started to tremble as he fell down to his knee's weeping from the new's. It was only two weeks ago that he saw his children for the very first time, still toddler's and babies. He would never forget his wife's face, he has been with her for more then a decade and only a couple years back they married each other. He had to go killing people to support his family back in Alderaan, but now its all gone his birthplace, his house, his wife, and children. He had to look at his left hand one more time but it was special this time. "Susett the powerful" he whispered to the hand, it soon turned into a video of him and his family playing around in the nearby forest. "Psst... dad" said the child next to him. "lets sneak on mom together" the boy suggested to "dad" They both giggled as sneak their way to mom, who is laying her back against a tree reading a book. They both surprised tackle her and laugh. "Gotcha Remedy!" said the boy, soon there after two girl's started running toward's them. They opened their arm's and hug the children, Their children tightly. "I love all you" Said the dad, he started tearing up a bit. "We love you too" Remedy replied as she give's "Alex" a kiss on the cheek. "Do you wanna swim in the lake?" Alex asked everyone. "Yea!" Shouted the little kid's *VIDEO END* the alley way was nothing but massacre and sadness. End of Flashback
