Grand Jedi Master Celestia sensed a great and dark disturbance in the force. So she has sent her greatest team of Jedi Knights to rid the force of the dark disturbance. The Republic forces and a few Jedi arrive on the planet Tatooine, but their journey brings them to something they weren’t expecting.
Now let’s start!
Welcome to Equestria Knights: Rise of Harmony
Chapter 1
The Equestria Knights
(Jedi Council of Harmony)
In the Jedi Council of Harmony, Jedi Masters teach their padawans and younglings to use the force, wield lightsabers, and navigate the stars. In one of the classrooms, Grand Jedi Master Celestia was teaching her younglings.
“Use the Force. It is a Jedi’s ally, and most powerful skill,” Celestia instructed, watching as the young padawans meditated and used the Force to levitate their lightsabers.
One youngling in particular was having a difficult time keeping her lightsaber active, causing it to flicker on and off. Celestia neared and offered advice. “Clear your mind of all thought, youngling. Focus the Force, and feel it flow through your mind,” she said.
“I’m trying, Master Celestia,” the youngling replied.
“I once heard a wise man once say something when he heard someone say that,” Celestia said with a little smile. “He said, ‘Do, or do not. There is no try.’”
The youngling nodded and took a deep breath in as she tried once again. Her lightsaber stopped flickering, and stayed hovering consistently in front of her.
Celestia smiled at the youngling. “Good. Maintain your focus.”
The lesson soon ended, and the younglings filed out. But as she watched them leave, she felt a strange disturbance in the Force. ‘That is not good...’
Celestia then walked over to the holo-transmitter, images already coming to mind. “Only the best are fit for this quest,” she said as she pressed a few buttons and opened the com links.
“Contact the Equestria Knights.” Celestia said, pushing a button to send a signal to each of the Jedi.
(Star Map Room)
Jedi Master Twilight Sparkle. Great experience in the ways of the force, and greater knowledge than any other Jedi known. Although she is a great Jedi, she tends to lose it when things go out of control. She wields a purple lightsaber.
Twilight was currently teaching younglings about the Galaxy, how to navigate them, which were Republic and Separatist controlled.
“Our planet, Coruscant, is the central of the Republic forces,” Twilight said, pointing to Coruscant. “Now, which of you can tell me which Republic planet all the Clone Troopers come from?”
One of the padawans raised his hand.
“Yes, Michael?” Twilight asked.
“Isn’t it Kamino?” he said.
“Indeed it is. Well done,” Twilight said. Then she looked at the time. “That’s all for today, class. Now remember, your homework is to name at least five of the Republic-controlled planets.”
“Yes, Master Twilight,” they all replied. Then they all walked out, single file.
As Twilight began turning everything off, her comlink beeped. She tapped it, “This is Twilight.”
“Twilight, I need you in my quarters immediately,” Celestia said.
“I’ll be right there.” Twilight said. And with that, Twilight walked out the door.
(Training Grounds)
Jedi Master Rainbow Dash. Jedi Knight with unmatched skills with the Lightsaber, Rainbow is a General in the Clone Wars. Though, she does let her ego get in her way sometimes, she never leaves her troopers behind. She dual wields two cyan lightsaber. She also carries a hidden blaster in her boot.
And her padawan, Fluttershy. The young Padawan Fluttershy is not only Rainbow Dash’s padawan, but an old friend too. Although she is extremely shy, she will stand up for her friends to the best of her ability. She has great skills in healing wounds. She wields a light pink lightsaber.
Rainbow Dash was currently training her padawan in how to see without using her eyes.
Fluttershy currently stood in the middle of the room, blindfolded. Rainbow circled her, carrying a blaster set to stun.
“Do we really have to do this?” Fluttershy asked with fear in her voice, “Can’t I at least see what I’m doing?”
Rainbow barked a laugh. “A Jedi does not need their eyes to see. Draw upon the Force instead,” she instructed. Without any further warning, she raised the blaster and pulled the trigger.
Fluttershy sensed it coming and deflected the bolt, yelping in the process.
“Good. Again!”
Fluttershy squealed as she moved her lightsaber, deflecting the next shot as well.
“Huh. Not bad, Shy. Not bad,” Rainbow said, impressed. A little smirk crossed her face. “But how about multiple shots?”
“What?!” Fluttershy yelped. “I can’t-”
“Well, of course you’re gonna fail if you have that attitude,” Rainbow scolded. “Get ready!” And with that introduction, Rainbow started to shoot multiple blaster shots at Fluttershy.
Fluttershy yelped and instantly started deflecting bolts, but full of fear and shock.
When Rainbow stopped shooting, she chuckled, “Good job, Shy. You might just make a great Jedi Knight one day.”
No response.
“Fluttershy?” Rainbow asked, turning.
Fluttershy was standing in complete shock, pale and shaking with fear.
Rainbow rolled her eyes and walked in front of the young padawan, and took off the blindfold, and snapped her fingers in the paralyzed girl.
Fluttershy yelped. “What happened?!”
“You were in shock,” Rainbow explained.
“Oh…” Fluttershy said, looking down in shame.
“Hey, it's alright,” Rainbow said putting her arm around Fluttershy's shoulder. “Everyone gets scared every now and then.” She paused. “Well, not me, of course,” she amended, “but most people. You gotta learn to overcome that fear.”
Suddenly, Rainbow’s comlink went off. She tapped it. “Rainbow Dash, awesome as ever. What’s up?”
“Rainbow Dash, I need you and Fluttershy to report to my quarters. Quickly,” Celestia said.
“You got it, Master,” Rainbow said.
“I wonder what she needs us for.” Fluttershy said. “What do you think, Master?”
Rainbow groaned. “For the last time, stop calling me Master! I just want you to call me by my real name. I’m not just your teacher, Shy; I’m your best friend.”
“O- Ok… Rainbow,” Fluttershy said.
“See? That’s much better. Thank you,” Rainbow said as the two walked out of the training room.
(Clone Trooper Barracks)
“Commence training program,” Commanding Officer Striker ordered.
The troopers of the Brute Platoon moved into position.
“Ready?” Blaster said to the others.
They all nodded and hefted their weapons.
“I was born ready!” Rapid said spinning his minigun.
“You were born in a test tube, like we all were.” Surge said.
“You know what I mean!” Rapid retorted.
“Go!” Blaster shouted, bringing a definitive end to this conversation.
The five troopers started advancing towards the tower with the flag, while dodging blaster fire from the wall turrets and droids.
“Watch your flank, Rapid!” Blaster shouted.
Rapid turned and saw a Super Battle droid behind him. “Eat minigun bolts, you walking scrap heap!” He fired the minigun at the droid, rapidly disabling it.
From the observing deck, Jedi Master Applejack watched as the platoon battled through the training program.
Great knowledge with the Jedi Archives, Jedi Master Applejack is the also the utmost honest Jedi in the entire Council. She is a General in the Clone Wars. She wields an orange double-bladed lightsaber.
“You should be proud of your squad. They are a valiant team,” Commander Striker said.
“They sure are; however, some of them still need training.” Applejack said.
Applejack’s comlink started beeping. She gave it a quick tap. “Applejack here. What is it?”
“Applejack. You’re needed back at the Jedi Temple,” Celestia said.
“What for, Master?” Applejack said.
“We will discuss that when you arrive.” Celestia said, “Oh, and inform your padawan, Pinkie Pie, that she will be needed as well.”
“Right away.” Applejack nodded, turning off her comlink. She turned to Striker, “I need you to take over and keep training the Brute Platoon.”
“Understood, sir.” Striker said saluting Applejack.
Applejack nodded and walked out of the simulator room, “Now, I’ve just got to find Pinkie Pie.”
“Looking for me?” a squeaky voice asked.
Applejack turned around, but saw no one. Then she smiled and looked up.
Jedi Padawan Pinkie Pie. Great ability with the use of the force, Pinkie Pie has the most energy, allowing her to use the force as much as she wants without getting tired. She is Applejack’s padawan. She is also a ship mechanic. She reverse wields a dark pink lightsaber.
Pinkie was walking upside down on the ceiling, while eating cookies she had cooked.
Applejack chuckle, “Yeah I’m looking for you. C’mon down. We’re needed at the Temple.”
“Ok. Oh and I took some time off to make you a surprise.” Pinkie said floating back down the the ground.
Applejack raised a brow, “What did you do?”
Pinkie only smiled.
The two of them got to the landing pad, where two Jedi Starfighters were landed side by side.
Applejack didn’t see a difference in her Starfighter.
The two walked over to their fighters.
“I don’t get it. What’s the surprise?” Applejack said climbing onto her starfighter and grabbing the cockpit latch.
Pinkie giggled.
Applejack looked confused, but then realized what Pinkie had done, ‘Oh boy.’ Too late. She had opened her cockpit, and it exploded with confetti, causing Applejack to yelp in shock and fall off her starfighter.
Pinkie then burst into laughter.
“Ok ok, you got me this time.” Applejack chuckled getting up,”C’mon now.”
The two starfighters then lifted off and plotted a hyperspace course for Coruscant.
(Jedi Temple Living Quarters)
Within the Jedi Temple, many of the Jedi were either meditating, training younglings, or studying.
However, one Jedi in particular was doing none of those. Instead, she was sewing calmly in her room.
Jedi Knight Rarity. Great ability with the both the force and a lightsaber, Rarity is a strong willed Jedi. Although she prefers not to fight so much, but rather spend time sewing and handcrafting. She wields a white lightsaber.
She used the force to sew together fabrics she was using to make her friends’ new robes.
As she threaded the last stitch, she sighed in relief, “Whew, sewing these robes is not easy. But they look so divine.” She looked at the six robes she had made, “And they’ll look even better on my friends.”
There was a knock on her door, “Rarity?”
“Come in.” Rarity said putting a robe upon a hanger.
Youngling Sweetie Belle walked in. Rarity’s younger sister, she is a youngling who does not have her lightsaber yet, due to her not acquiring her Kyber crystal yet.
“Sweetie Belle dear, how nice to see you.” Rarity said, “How are Applebloom and Scootaloo?”
“They’re good.” Sweetie Belle said.
“Any luck on locating your Kyber crystals yet?” Rarity asked.
“No. Scootaloo nearly got sealed behind the ice wall, again.” Sweetie Belle said sighing in disappointment, “I don’t think we’re set out to be true Jedi. The three of us have been trying to find our crystals for three years. Diamond Tiara won’t stop bragging about how she got her crystal before anyone in our class.”
“Now listen Sweetie Belle, darling. You, and your friends will find your crystals when the time is right. I wasn’t the first to get my crystal.” Rarity said pulling out her lightsaber, “In fact, I wasn’t able to find mine until I met my friends. Together, we found each of our crystals.”
“So what you’re saying is that we should work together to find our crystals?” Sweetie Belle asked.
“Yes dearie, now run along now. Go play with your friends.” Rarity said putting her lightsaber away.
“Ok. Oh but before I go, Master Celestia said she needed you in the Great Hall.” Sweetie Belle said, then she left Rarity’s room.
“Master Celestia needs me? What could she possibly need me for?” Rarity asked herself.
She put the last of her robes on hangers. Then she noticed she had left out a few sewing supplies, “Whoops, forgot somethings.” She picked up red and yellow ribbons, “Hmm, I don’t know why I purchased these colors. I can’t find anything or anyone to use them for.” She put the ribbon in her drawer, and then left to the Great Hall.
(Great Hall)
As Celestia looked out upon the vast city of Coruscant, her thoughts worried her. That disturbance in the Force wasn’t any normal disturbance. She could feel both darkness and hatred, while there was still love and compassion.
The doors opened, and the Equestria Knights walked in. They each bowed to Celestia, “Master.”
“Please, sit.” Celestia said.
The five Jedi sat down, while the padawans stood behind their masters.
“What is it you needed, Master?” Twilight asked.
“I have called you seven here because of a great disturbance in the Force.” Celestia said looking out the window.
“Have the Sith returned?” Rainbow asked.
“No. Something much more dangerous than the Sith.” Celestia said turning around.
“What? But what could be more dangerous than the return of the Sith?” Applejack asked.
“A force sensitive child, with greater power than even I.” Celestia said.
“What? But who could possibly have more power than Celestia?” Rarity asked.
Celestia sighed, then looked at Twilight, “You know what I’m referring to. Or rather, who.”
Twilight gasped, “You don’t think it is him?”
Celestia nodded.
“Um, mind filling us in?” Applejack asked.
Before either Twilight or Celestia could speak, Pinkie Pie suddenly burst, “They’re referring to the “Chosen One”who is suppose to be the one to bring balance to the force by either joining the light side and bring harmony to the galaxy, or join the dark side and bring destruction to the Republic.” Pinkie said, and all in one breath.
Everyone blinked.
“How did you know all that?” Rainbow asked the Padawan.
“Just a hunch.” Pinkie said smiling.
“Well that pretty much wraps all that up. So what are we to do about it, Master?” Twilight asked her old mentor.
“You must travel to Tatooine and find this “Chosen One”, and bring him back here before the Sith find him.” Celestia said.
Everyone nodded. They all got up and bowed to their Master, and left for the Star Cruisers.
“I only hope that they can make it in time.” Celestia said looking out the window again.
