My Little Star Wars: The Force is Magic

Twilight Sparkle is been captured and imprisoned after Jedi Master Celestia’s death. She is held up in the prison on Coruscant while the Jedi Council figure out what to do with her. With there being only two Equestrian Force-sensitives remaining, the Force is out of balance. Sombra plans to bring about the destruction of the Republic from Equestria. With the help of the Separatist leader General Grievous, Sombra plots to end the Republic reign in the galaxy. But Twilight Sparkle feels a pull in both the Light and Dark Sides of the Force, and she must choose for the fate of the galaxy…

A Republic gunship flew through the Coruscant air traffic to the Republic high security prison. Inside the gunship was Anakin Skywalker and Obi wan Kenobi, along with Captain Rex and ARC Trooper Fives. The gunship landed at the entrance to the prison, and the group walked inside. At the security office, they stepped up to a clone prison officer.

“We’re here to speak with Twilight Sparkle,” Anakin said. The officer nodded to his partner in the office, and he pressed a button. A metal drawer slid out.

“I’ll need your lightsabers and your blasters,” the officer said. The group removed their weapons and put them in the drawer. The drawer slid back into the security office.

“Follow me,” the clone officer said. The group followed the officer through the prison corridors until they reached Twilight Sparkle’s cell. The officer put in the security code, and the door slid open. Twilight was sitting on the bench, eyes closed, meditating through the Force. Anakin, Obi Wan, Rex, and Fives walked inside the cell. The officer closed the door and waited outside. Twilight opened her eyes and relaxed.

“Master Skywalker. Master Kenobi,” she said. Anakin proceeded to harshly Force choke Twilight. Twilight started rising into the air, trying to breathe.

“Anakin, no!” Obi Wan cried. He tried to hold his former Padawan back, but Anakin kept choking Twilight.

“What did you do to Master Celestia!?” Anakin cried. The door suddenly opened, and two clone prison guards ran inside. Obi Wan stepped out of the way, and one of the guards fired a stun blast at Anakin. Anakin fell unconscious as the blue energy ring struck him. Twilight fell down, gasping for air, as Anakin’s hold on her was released. The clone guards stepped forward, but Obi Wan stopped them.

“I’ll take care of him,” he said. The guards nodded and left the room. They stayed under close guard of the room, ready for something else to happen. Rex helped Twilight to her hooves as she breathed.

“You all right, Commander?” Rex asked. Twilight nodded with a cough. She sat back down on the bench.

“Sir, what happened to General Celestia?” Fives asked her. “She wasn’t with you, or in the Equestria mountains. We searched the whole range for her, and found nothing.” Twilight sighed as she started to tear up. Obi Wan knelt down, putting a hand on Twilight’s shoulder.

“What happened, Twilight?” he asked. Twilight started to cry.

“She was killed,” she sobbed. “Nightmare Moon killed her. I was giving her Braveheart’s lightsaber, ready to return with her to the Temple, when it turned on. She fell into the volcano we were in, after which I killed Nightmare Moon out of rage.”

“Twilight, revenge is not the Jedi way,” Obi Wan said. “You should know better.”

“I’m not a Jedi!” Twilight cried out, choked up. “I’m not! I killed clones during the invasion! I became Nightmare Moon’s apprentice. I’m a disgrace to the Jedi!”

“Commander, calm yourself,” Fives said. Twilight slowly calmed down. She wiped the tears from her eyes.

“Twilight, you need to make your case to the council,” Obi Wan said. “A reformed Jedi is very important. Surely they will hear you out.”

“How would you know?” Twilight muttered, anger growing within. “You weren’t there. You didn’t see what happened.”

“Commander…” Rex said.

“None of you understand!” Twilight cried. She let out a powerful Force wave, knocking the three back. Twilight opened the door with the force and ran outside. She knocked away the two clone guards and ran. Obi Wan recovered quickly and chased her. Twilight ran into the security office, where she promptly grabbed her lightsaber and cut her magic restraint off. She made two cuts in the thick glass window and broke through it. She ran out of the prison, clones and Obi Wan in pursuit.

“I want her back to the Jedi Temple alive,” Obi Wan said over his wrist-com. “Do not kill her. Set for stun.” Twilight teleported to a nearby hangar and climbed inside a clone V-19 Torrent fighter. She took off and flew to space.

“Track that fighter!” Rex ordered. The clone in the sendoff tower pressed a button, and the tracking device on the ship activated. Unaware, Twilight docked into a hyperdrive ring and blasted into hyperspace. Obi Wan looked into space and stroked his beard, thinking.

In the stolen V-19 fighter, Twilight fell back in her seat. She never wanted to return to Coruscant again. After Anakin tried to kill her, she couldn’t. She came out of hyperspace at Nal Hutta. She needed to destroy the evidence that she was ever here. She undocked from the hyperdrive ring, then flew around it and fired the laser cannons. The hyperdrive ring exploded, and Twilight flew down to the surface at full throttle. The fighter caught fire as it entered the atmosphere. Twilight stuck the fighter at full speed, then teleported away. She teleported onto the ground near a swamp. She looked up as the fighter came down, smoking and on fire. It crashed a few kliks away with a boom, and Twilight turned around to look for anywhere else but here. She walked for a few miles before coming up on a small town. The town was full of outlaws from across the galaxy. Twilight held a hoof to the side of her head to hide her face, and walked into a building named Pablo’s Pawn Shop. Twilight closed the door inside. A Rodian male walked out from behind a shelf, along with his Twi’lek wife.

“Hello there,” the Rodian said. “Welcome to my shop.”

“You must be Pablo,” Twilight said.

“That’s right,” Pablo said. “Feel free to look around.” Twilight nodded and started looking through the various shelves. She found a tattered brown cloak that didn’t look like it had been used for years. She took it off its hook and slung it over her back. She kept looking, and found an Equestrian Jedi Temple mask.

“Hey, Pablo!” she called. Pablo came around the corner. Twilight showed him the mask. “Where’d you get this?” she asked.

“A shadowy fellow came in with it,” Pablo explained. “Same species as you. He said he had no need of it, and told me to do what I wanted with it. I polished it up, made it look new, and put it on the shelf. Fellow said it was from someone called Brave Heart.” Twilight’s eyes went wide at this.

“This is Master Braveheart’s mask?” she whispered to herself. She put it with the cloak and continued to search for whatever she could find. She picked up a small blaster pistol and a metal staff.

“That staff you’ve got there, it’s made of lightsaber resistant metal,” Pablo explained. “It’s got an electrified tip on each end. Saw them once before on one of them guard droids.”

“This should be all I need,” Twilight said, after grabbing a holoprojector and a wrist-com. She paid Pablo the fee and put the cloak and mask on. She slipped the blaster pistol under the cloak and put away her holoprojector. She put the wrist-com on her right hoof and walked out the door, electrostaff in hoof. She looked around the small town. Two fat pig-like Gameorean guards were dealing with an outlaw causing trouble. Twilight used her mask’s thin eye slits as an advantage to avoid eye contact with anyone. She suddenly felt a tap on her shoulder. She stopped and turned around to see another Equestrian figure behind her, taller and also wearing a cloak.

“Come with me,” the figure said in a young feminine voice. “We need to leave.” Twilight followed the Equestrian figure through and out of the town. They walked silently through the Nal Hutta swamps until they reached a repainted clone Y-Wing Starfighter.

“Where did…” Twilight started to ask.

“The time for questions will come later,” the figure said. “Right now, we need to get as far away from the Republic as possible.” She opened up the pilot’s cockpit and climbed inside. Twilight got into the rear gunner’s position. The figure took off and flew out into space. As she did, Twilight saw a Republic Venator-class cruiser jump out of hyperspace behind the fighter.

“We’ve got a Republic cruiser behind us,” Twilight warned.

“I see it,” the figure said. She quickly put in some coordinates, and the fighter jumped into light speed. Twilight relaxed as the ship blasted through the stars.

“Do you think they saw us?” she asked.

“It is unlikely,” the figure said. “The cruiser had just emerged from light speed, and this ship has an on board cloaking device.”

“How?” Twilight asked. “These fighters can’t hold a cloaking device.”

“Maybe not your standard Y-Wing,” the figure said. “But this one is modified. Paintwork, engine, weapons, hardware, all of it.”

“Impressive,” Twilight nodded. The fighter jumped out of hyperspace over a desert planet. The Equestrian figure piloted the ship down to the surface.

“Welcome to Jakku, young Sparkle,” the figure said. Twilight’s eyes narrowed.

“How do you know my name?” she questioned.

“I will explain everything once we reach our destination,” the figure said. She landed the fighter near a small hut in the middle of the wastelands of Jakku. The cockpit opened up, and the figure hopped out. Twilight got out of her gunner position. She followed the figure into the hut. The figure closed the door behind her as she and Twilight walked in. Twilight leaned her electrostaff against a corner and leaned up against the wall next to it. She took off her mask and hood and laid the mask on a nearby table. The figure pulled up a stool and sat down.

“Now,” Twilight began. “Tell me. How do you know my name? Who are you?”

“I have been watching you for quite some time,” the figure said. “Ever since you first became Celestia’s pupil. I was there at the destruction of the Jedi Academy of Equestria. I could not bear to watch the massacre, but I could not leave.”

“Why?” Twilight said, grabbing her electrostaff and charging it up. “Who are you? If you’re Separatist, I will gut you like an animal.”

“I am neither Separatist nor Republic,” the figure said. “I was once part of the Republic, until I saw what it had become.”

“What do you mean?” Twilight asked, pointing her electrostaff at the figure. The figure raised a hoof, and Twilight’s electrostaff flew from her hooves into the figure’s outstretched hoof. Twilight’s eyes went wide, and she quickly pulled out her lightsaber, igniting its orange blade. She swung at the figure, who swiftly blocked the attack with the electrostaff. Twilight pulled back and swung again. The figure did not move from her seat, letting go of the electrostaff and telekinetically defending against Twilight’s attacks. Before long, the figure knocked Twilight’s lightsaber away. She ignited a white lightsaber from her belt and pointed it at Twilight’s throat. Twilight gulped and backed away, falling down when she tripped on a loose rock in the hut. She fell onto an awaiting stool. Bewildered and confused, Twilight stayed where she was, breathing heavily.

“We need not be adversaries,” the figure said, extinguishing the white lightsaber. “I know what troubles you, and why you were on Nal Hutta.” Twilight was almost in tears.

“Who are you?” she stuttered. The figure laid down Twilight’s electrostaff and brought her dark blue hooves to her hood. She removed her hood, revealing her face. Twilight’s eyes went wide at who she saw. The figure had a dark blue coat and a short light blue mane that hung loose from her head. She had pure, teal colored eyes and a sweet smile. She was an alicorn, and wore a light brown Jedi tunic and black belt with her lightsaber attached. Tears started to run down Twilight’s face.

“L…Luna?” she gasped. “Is…is it really you?” Luna nodded.

“Indeed it is, young Sparkle,” she said. She noticed Twilight crying. “What is the matter, Twilight?” she asked.

“I thought I killed you,” Twilight sobbed. “I thought you killed Celestia.”

“Alas, that was not me,” Luna said. “Rather, it was Tantabus, who had possessed me in the first place, over 1000 years ago. Who you killed was Tantabus itself, pure Dark Side incarnate. It was Tantabus who killed your master. I am sorry, Twilight. I would have stopped Tantabus right then and there, but interfering may have cost you your life.”

“I’d rather be dead!” Twilight raged, tears in her eyes. “Master Celestia was the only thing I had left! After Sunset, Blazing Fire, and Braveheart were killed, I…” Luna waved a hoof, and Twilight fell limp. Luna caught her before she could fall onto the hard ground.

“You must calm yourself, Twilight,” Luna soothed. “You must remember, fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hatred leads to suffering. Your suffering makes you unbalanced in the Force. You cannot let your rage overcome you. It only pulls you closer to the Dark Side.”

“It’s too late,” Twilight moaned, calmed. “I’m already too far gone from the light.” Luna shook her head.

“That is not true, Twilight,” she said. “There is still a light in you. I see you with every passing moment trying to go back to the light and escape the darkness.”

“You are right,” Twilight said. “I am trying to return to the Light Side of the Force. But the darkness is overwhelming.”

“You must not take the quick and easy path, as other fallen Jedi have,” Luna said. “That leads to the Dark Side. While the path to the light may be long and winding, it will lead you to the peace of mind you seek.” Twilight looked up at Luna, eyes red from crying. She calmed herself down.

“How?” she asked.

“I can show you the way,” Luna said. “You only need to trust me.” She held out a hoof to Twilight. Twilight withdrew.

“I can’t trust anyone now,” she said. “The last time I trusted somepony, my Master ended up dead.”

“Tantabus deceived you into trusting it,” Luna said. “Deception is an agent of the Dark Side. It uses the best part of you against you. I promise to you, I will show you the way back to the light.” Twilight looked into Luna’s eyes. The suffering in her own was driving her away. She closed her eyes and took Luna’s hoof. Everything went to white with a soothing shimmer.
