(Savage Destiny, Ella’s P.O.V) (Warning Mature Content in this chapter, Please skip to next P.O.V to avoid sex)

After leaving Equestria shortly after our marriage, I was simply happy that I finally got to marry my one and only lover, and former master, Valrun Zortek. I was the happiest I have ever been in so long. When we were apart my heart ached for his touch, I wanted to hear his voice soothe me, and I wanted to see his smiling face. Now that we’re officially married, we wanted to have some private time, and to tell Eric about this so we were heading to Dandoran. Valrun came into our room and stared at me with my wedding gown still on. “See anything you like?” I asked seductively as I started to take off my utility belt and gently placed it on the chair across from the bed. “I do, I see my beautiful wife taking off her dress.” He said as he too began to strip. I giggled at his remark. When I felt my dress finally fall from my body I felt a chill run up my spine. I saw the man I’ve always loved standing in front of me completely bare, same as myself. We neared each other and he cupped my cheek in his hand and I leaned in and we kissed each other on the lips. As we kissed it awakened a drive, a passion that would never extinguish, we started to get a little bit rougher with our kisses and I pushed my tongue into his mouth, he was a little startled by it, but he did the same thing to me and I gave out a moan in pleasure.

“Let’s continue this on the bed.” I said with a seductive tone. “You read my mind.” Valrun said as he walked over to the bed and lied down. I smiled as I could feel my nethers getting warmer as I lied down on top of him pressing my breasts against his muscular chest. We lip locked once more and I felt his erection poking my lower abdomen. “Ooh, seems like you’re enjoying this.” I said with a seductive smile. “I am and I see you are too.” He said he placed his hand on my breasts and started massaging them lovingly. I moaned in pleasure as he continued his sensual massage. “I really want to you to get a taste of my nectar.” I said as I got up and turned around and laid myself back down on top of him and saw his erect manhood pointing up like a skyscraper on Coruscant. I leaned forward and licked his tip eliciting a gasp from him, then I felt his tongue lick my sex slowly. I moaned and placed the tip of his member into my mouth and lightly suckled on it. I felt my loving husband increase his lickng pace by lightly flicking my clit. I started to bob my head up and down his length getting it nice and wet for the main event of the evening. After what felt like hours, I was ready for him to penetrate me for the first time. Normally when we slept together we only cuddled in the nude, but we never had sex before. “Are you ready, my love?” Valrun asked me as I straddled his hips positioning his member with my entrance. “Yes, just be gentle.” I said as I held him in place as I lowered myself onto his erect cock. As I felt the pleasure ripple through me I felt a bit of pain, but I ignored it and moaned in ecstasy as I felt my inner walls squeeze him tightly.

“My love, I love how tight and wet you are.” Valrun moaned as he held onto my breasts. “I’m glad, I’m ready for you to move now.” I said as I felt my inner walls relax a bit to allow him to move. Valrun nodded and began to slowly thrust in and out of my love tunnel, and it felt so good, I had to have him go faster. “You can speed up a bit if you want.” I said as he started thrusting a bit faster, but not so fast that he would be pounding my pelvic region. After what felt like an eternity I felt my inner walls start to tighten up around Valrun’s length and he felt it too. “I’m so close dear, where do you want me to..” Valrun started to say, but I cut him off. “Inside, please I want to feel your warmth inside of me!” I screamed in ecstasy as my orgasm hit me hard I felt myself tighten around him and he released his essence into my womb, I wasn’t ovulating yet, but it felt so good. After his orgasm, Valrun started to soften and slipped out of me. The two of us were embraced as we kissed each other one last time before falling asleep as a married couple.

(Valrun/ Malachor’s P.O.V)

After a little while, I woke up to see if we had arrived in the Dandoran System yet. I went over to the navicomputer and saw that we were there. I dropped us out of hyperspace and activated our protocol/assassin droid HK 49. “Query:Yes Master?” HK said in his usual dutiful voice. “I need you to safely land the ship near Eric’s ship, but not too close, I want our arrival to be a surprise for him.” I said with a sly smile. HK saluted me. “Statement: Yes Master.” He said before walking over to the ship’s controls. I returned to my wedding bed with Ella and lied back down with my one true love. I felt her stir in her sleep a little. “What was that about?” She asked with a short yawn. “We’ve arrived at Dandoran, and I’ve instructed HK 49 to handle our landing, so I could spend the rest of the night with you.” I said as I lightly kissed Ella’s forehead. “Good, because I need someone to cuddle with, and that’s you.” She said as she closed her eyes once more. I chuckled a bit then yawned myself and fell back to sleep.

(Dandoran, Roseluck’s P.O.V)

Being on this wonderful planet is pretty similar to Equestria, but due to the lovely environment, I felt as if this were my home. I awoke alone in bed, I looked around for Eric, but he was nowhere to be found. I shrugged it off. “He’s probably meditating alone.” I said as I went to the ship’s food synthesizer to get something to eat for myself and the baby. Grabbing something nutritious, I savored the wonderful food as if Equestrian food could never make such exquisite flavor. I then heard the sounds of another ship not too far away and looked out the windows to see one of Malachor’s ships. I wasn’t sure of who was on board and I didn’t care, I had to know who it was, and what they wanted with us. I opened the ship’s ramp and went outside to look for the descending ships’ landing location. I walked through the forest to see the ship finally touch down and open its ramp. I saw a droid walk out of the ship holding a blaster rifle, I didn’t like the look of this droid, it looked like it was going to kill me if I took a step closer. “Um who are you?” I asked with a hint of fear. “Statement: I am HK49, protocol and assassin droid in service to Darth Malachor and Darth Viscera.” The droid said starting to lower its weapon. I was relieved to know that it was Malachor and Ella and I was excited to know what had happened on Equestria after me and Eric had left. Speaking of which Malachor and Ella had walked next to the droid. “You can go back in HK, we’ll take it from here.” Ella said with a smile. “Statement: As you wish Mistress.” HK said as he turned around and went back into the ship.

“It’s wonderful to see you two again.” I said as I hugged Ella. “It’s so good to see you again too.” Ella said as she hugged me back. I looked at her left hand and saw a golden band around her ring finger. “So are you married now Ella?” I asked curiously. Ella and Malachor smiled at me. “Yes we are, and we came to tell you and Eric this, but it seems that Eric is nowhere to be found. By the way Celestia told Ella and me to give you and Eric this.” Malachor said as he handed me a document. It was a marriage license with me and Eric’s names on it. “I-I don’t know what to say, thank you so much.” I said with tears in my eyes and hugged the two Siths. “It’s our pleasure, now enough about us, how’s the baby?” Ella said as she playfully tickled my stomach. I giggled at the feeling. “I’m doing just fine, the baby is due any day now, and I can’t wait for Eric to see that you two are here!” I said as I happily squirmed in the female Sith’s arms.

(3rd P.O.V)

Meanwhile within the Jedi Temple, Eric was in meditation for almost two hours to try and see the future that all Jedi had the ability to do. He had then opened his eyes to see something he’d never think he’d see again; The Jedi Temple on Coruscant. “What the? Why am I seeing this place?” He asked as he was confused as to why he saw his former home before and during the Clone Wars. The temple looked war torn and blaster bolts and lightsaber marks painted the walls and on the floor were countless bodies of fallen Jedi and Clone Troopers. “Why am I seeing this?” He asked as he felt tears coming to his eyes. Eric continued to observe what was going on in the Temple, and he saw Master Yoda, and Obi-wan Kenobi fighting through tons of clones. Then it all made sense, This was Order 66. I looked around to hear a maniacal laughter that sounded familiar and stood not too far away was Darth Sidious. Eric was now afraid to see what happened next. “Rise my new apprentice for you shall be known as Darth Vader.” He said as I saw Anakin Skywalker who had turned to the Dark Side. “You were the Chosen One Anakin, and now the Force now resides in darkness because of you.” Eric said while hanging his head in despair. Then the air got hot as Eric saw an entirely new setting of molten lava rivers, he then saw Obi-wan and Anakin fighting over the river of molten hot rock.

“It’s over Anakin, I have the high ground.” Obi-wan said after he jumped onto a hill near the river of lava. “You underestimate my power.” Anakin replied looking at his former master. “Don’t try it.” Obi-wan said shaking his head. Anakin Force Jumped off the little platform and over Obi-wan, similar to how Eric did with Vader, but Obi-wan swung his lightsaber to cut both Anakin’s legs and one arm off forcing Anakin to land, roll down the hill and stop near the lava river. Obi-wan picked up his lightsaber and turned to his fallen apprentice. “You were the Chosen One! It was said you would destroy the Sith, not join them! To bring balance to the Force, not leave it in darkness!” Obi-wan said in an upset tone. “I Hate You!” Anakin shouted trying to climb away from the lava. “You were my brother Anakin. I loved you.” Obi-wan said in sadness at the loss of one of his greatest friends. Then Anakin’s leg caught fire and began traveling up the fallen Sith, burning him severely. After a while, Anakin’s extremely burnt body started moving slowly away from the river. “Your Majesty this way!” A clone trooper said as Sidious and two clones came running to find Anakin’s burnt body. “There he is. He’s still alive. Get a medical capsule immediately.” Sidious said as he went to his apprentice’s side as the two clones ran off to obey their master’s wishes.

Then shortly after, Eric appeared in some kind of lab and saw Anakin’s body in the outfit I saw on Darth Vader and then I saw the helmet descending onto the remnants of Anakin Skywalker to form the Sith Lord many would fear. Once the helmet was secured I heard the signature sound of Vader’s respirator. The operating table rose and now Vader was upright with Sidious off to the side. “Lord Vader, can you hear me?” Sidious asked somewhat worriedly. “Yes Master.” Vader responded in his mechanical voice. “Where is Padme? Is she safe? Is she alright?” Vader asked as Sidious slowly backed away. “It seems, in your anger, you killed her.” Sidious said as he continued to back away. “I-I couldn’t have. She was alive I felt it!” Vader said with disbelief. After his anger boiled, the Force began to destroy a few items before he broke from his restraints and screamed. “Nooooooooo!” Eric looked at the scene in sorrow. “So Senator Amidala was his wife, and he didn’t mean to hurt her, and now he’s truly lost everything.” Eric said as he finally understood Vader’s plight. Then he caught a glimpse at what happened on Kashyyyk when the Empire took control. He saw multiple Imperial ships and Wookiee ships battling in the skies as Stormtroopers fought on the ground and Vader was just finishing off a Jedi Knight to discover a young boy, who had just used the Force to take Vader’s lightsaber. “A son.” Vader said in surprise as the Knight was killed by Vader. Vader started to approach the boy until an Imperial officer came in with some stormtroopers and was about to gun the down but Vader quickly slaughtered them to save the boy and offered his hand. “Come with me, more will arrive soon.” Then what seemed like a few years later, Starkiller had become filled with the Dark Side and was tasked on his final tests to help Vader overthrow the Emperor. “So Vader had a secret apprentice, what a surprise.” Eric said to himself as he looked at Starkiller.

(Dandoran, 3rd P.O.V)

Roseluck was happy to be in the medical bay for her check up to see how the baby was doing. “Well ma’am the baby is doing just fine.” The medical droid said as it conducted the ultrasound. “When is it due?” Ella asked. “About five days, to a week.” The medical droid said. “Congrats Rose, you’ll soon become a mother to begin your family.” Ella said happily. “Indeed, I bet Eric would be pleased to hear this.” Malachor added. “Yeah, I know, you should see him now, he’s got a beard now.” Roseluck said with a smile. “Interesting, speaking of said man, do you know where he is, I have a gift that I wish to give him.” Malachor said with a smile. “He goes somewhere when he needs to meditate, but I never know where.” Roseluck said with an unsure expression. “Well that’s troubling, especially with your child mere days away, doesn’t he realise that a father should never miss the birth of his child?” Ella asked with a very concerned expression. “Yeah, but sometimes he gathers food and water while he’s gone, but he says he spends almost five hours meditating a day.” Roseluck mentioned putting a hoof on her chin. “I think it’s because he’s trying to continue to abide by the Jedi teachings, which is starting to prove more destructive than helpful, that’s why I brought this.” Malachor said as he presented the group with a holocron. “This is one of my own, it’ll help him in the times ahead. He needs to embrace his emotions, rather than run away from them, especially when he’s in a relationship with you and is going to be a father.” Malachor said with a stern expression.

“I don’t know…” Roseluck started to say, but she found out what her friend meant, if Eric is trying to ignore his emotions, then he’s ignoring her. “I will tell him what you told me, and I will tell him to open this holocron repeatedly until he learns what you have to teach him!” Roseluck said with a determined expression. “Yes, that is exactly the attitude you’ll need to wear him down.” Ella said with a smile.

(Meanwhile on Kamino, Eric’s Vision)

After a look through Starkiller’s life I saw him kill a few Jedi and Sith, encounter Sidious and saw his great sacrifice to save the Senators aboard the Death Star. “Huh, looks like the apprentice was just a catalyst for the creation of the Rebellion.” Eric said as Starkiller’s corpse laid on the ground. It wasn’t more than a blink of an eye to reveal the old cloning facilities on Kamino. “What is going on? I always heard that creating Force Sensitive clones was impossible because of the unpredictable nature of the Force!” Eric exclaimed in surprise as he saw clones of Starkiller himself. He engaged multiple stormtroopers and fought against Vader once again and to his point of view, this clone was more Starkiller like in a good way, even if he is a clone but he was more rebellious against the Dark Side. Eric watched as Starkiller’s clone smashed Vader through multiple walls and later on electrocuted Vader so he could be immobilized. And what really surprised the Jedi Knight was that the girl Starkiller loved picked up his lightsaber and showed she was willing to defend him. Vader nearly pushed her aside and Starkiller engaged and defeated Vader in a duel which also lead to his capture to the Rebel Alliance. “Now I know how and why the Rebellion fights the Empire.” Eric said as he opened his eyes ending his meditation. A few moments later Eric heard the sound of his stomach growl. “Heh, seems I’ve been here a little bit too long, time to get some grub.” He said as, picked up his lightsaber, stood up, and walked out of the Temple.

It may have taken some time, but Eric was able to get some fresh water and fruit that was native to the planet and was taking it back to the ship. As Eric got closer to the ship, he heard the sound of Roseluck laughing up a storm. “Rose, are you okay?” Eric asked as he entered the ship cautiously. Putting down the food and water on the landing ramp, he entered the bridge where the sound of laughter had originated. He walked into the main room of the ship and saw two very familiar faces, Malachor and Ella. Malachor was sitting across from Roseluck apparently playing Pazaak and swapping stories. When Ella caught sight of Eric, she tapped her husband’s shoulder. Malachor looked up and saw Eric standing there with a surprised expression. “Eric, how nice of you to join us, Rose and I were just playing a friendly game of Pazaak, care to play?” Malachor said with a smile. “I’d like to, but I need to lie down and eat something. I brought more food and water just to let you know.” Eric said feeling uneasy and exhausted as he trudged toward his bedroom. “He must’ve spent too much time meditating, he’ll be alright, just tell him to take it easy on the meditation, because it’s both physically and mentally exhausting to the practitioner.” Ella stated matter-of-factly. Roseluck nodded and went to get some of the fruit Eric brought. “Want some, it’s really good!” She asked. The two Sith shrugged. “Sure why not.” They both said. “So any interesting stories about when two first arrived here?” Malachor asked.

“Well I found an old Jedi Temple when I was exploring while Eric was removing that tracking device you hid in the hyperdrive.” Roseluck said as she chuckled nervously. “Really? That’s interesting, did you go inside, or go back to tell Eric?” Ella asked as she saw the pained look on her friend’s face. “I went inside, I was lost and I had to hide somewhere to avoid the harsh elements of nature.” Roseluck dropped her head a little. “Did you go in through the front door, because it can only be opened by a Force Wielder.” Malachor asked with a curious expression. “The temple seemed really old and I found a crack I could go through to get inside.” Roseluck answered. “I can tell this is a difficult subject for you. Let me guess, you waited for Eric, but while waiting for him you just felt alone while you were inside the darkness of the temple.” Ella said placing her hand on Roseluck’s hoof. Roseluck sniffled as tears came to her eyes. “Yes, and I saw skeletons of, the Jedi who once entered long ago, I was so scared I thought that Eric would never find me.” She said as she leaped into Ella’s arms to be comforted. “It’s alright, because Eric did find you and brought you back home, sure it was scary, but you got a glimpse of what the Jedi used to be.” Malachor said as he kneeled down and gently stroked the mare’s mane. “I-I guess that’s one way to look at it, but that was also the day Eric and I found out that I was pregnant, and I’ve never been so happy in my life.” Roseluck said with a smile as she wiped away her tears.

(Hyperspace, 3rd P.O.V)

On an Imperial Shuttle stolen from the Empire, Clone Commander Ganch was looking over Cody who was unconscious on a small medical table wearing some handcuffs around his hands and ankles. He saw the Commander of the 212th Attack Battalion coming back to consciousness and saw Ganch in his old Clone uniform he managed to smuggle out. “It’s been so long since I’ve worn this, I’ve always hated that garbage that they gave us to wear, it can’t protect us from even a stun blast.” Ganch said as he started to remove his stormtrooper armor. “This armor is the finest in the galaxy and release me you traitor.” Cody said as he struggled to break from his restraints. “This armor is garbage and you know it Cody, I can’t even hit a stationary target without missing nearly 65% of my shots first, face it, we’re like those Clankers from the Clone Wars.” Ganch said as he looked at his old Clone Helmet. “Release me now or face what punishment the Empire will give you.” Cody said. “Talk all you want Cody, but I’m not letting you go until we arrive at our destination, also don’t bother calling for help, I already disengaged the tracer, and our armor transponders, we could be dead for all that they care, matter of fact they don’t care at all.” Ganch said to Cody with a stern expression on his face. Then the medical droid arrived into the room looking a lot like AZ, who helped Fives discover the inhibitor chips. “Clone Commander Ganch, everything is prepared for the operation, may we commence?” The floating droid asked. “Yes the faster we get that chip out, the better time I’ll have flying this ship.” Ganch said as he put on his helmet and injected Cody with the anesthetic.

“No Stop, You are… a ….traitor.” Cody said before the anesthetics took effect rendering him unconscious again. “Commander Ganch, I’d recommend looking away.” The AZ droid warned the 612th Commander. “That’s fine I’ve got to check the navicomputer to see if we’ve arrived yet anyway.” Ganch said as he walked towards the shuttle’s bridge. As the AZ droid began the procedure, Ganch was looking over the navicomputer for someplace they know would be safe. “Well we’ve arrived, now let’s drop out here.” Ganch said as he dropped the ship out of hyperspace and discovered an entire fleet orbiting the planet. Then the AZ droid arrived since the surgery would only take a few minutes. “Commander Ganch, the surgery has been complete and here is the chip.” AZ showed the Commander the inhibitor chip from Cody. “Great, now I need to get clearance from the fleet, or we’ll be blown to smithereens.” Ganch said as he continued to look at orbiting fleet. “We have you on our screens now identify yourself immediately, or leave.” A voice said over the ship’s communication network. “Yes this is Commander Ganch requesting permission to land, Codes are 11-38-10.” Ganch responded and awaited their response. “This Commander Rex, you’re cleared Ganch, welcome home brother.” Rex said over the comms. “Thank you, but I didn’t come alone, I brought someone you’d be interested in seeing, await our arrival on the surface in a few minutes, Ganch out.” The Commander said with a sigh of relief to know one of the greatest 501st Captains was still alive. “Commander Ganch, Commander Cody is waking up from his operation now.” AZ said as he floated in from the medical bay. “Let’s take a look.” Ganch then approached the Clone Commander. “Urh, what happened? Where am I and what happened after Utapau?” Cody asked as Ganch walked in. “Well Cody, We escaped from the Empire, we’re landing on our new home Equestria, and according to the reports, you killed General Obi-wan Kenobi.” Ganch said bringing Cody up to speed, while also leaving out that Vader was Anakin Skywalker. “I-I can’t believe it, I wouldn’t betray my General. All because of these chips and.” Cody sighed for a moment. “Well, at least be comforted to know that Ahsoka is still around and I just got off the comms with Rex.” Ganch said with a smile and Cody’s eyes widened in surprise. Ganch removed the restraints and Cody sat on the edge of the table. “I knew that Captain would still be around. Where’s my old armor, I can see why you hate this amor.” Cody asked as Ganch opened the locker behind him. “I’m glad you agree with me brother, soon we’ll be landing and Rex will want to give us some brotherly love.” Ganch said as he handed Cody his old gear.

(Ponyville, Equestria, 3rd P.O.V)

On the surface, Flynn was teaching Twilight about some advanced knowledge of the Force and how it can be manipulated to become a great ally to the Jedi and Sith. “Wow I never knew that the Force was so versatile, I wish I could use it.” Twilight said with an envious expression on her face. “Well, magic may be only an illusion to most Jedi and Sith, but I find it to be a more advanced part of the Force than you realize and you use it quite well, Miss Sparkle.” Flynn comforted her. “Thanks Flynn.” Twilight said with a smile, but then her ears perked up at the sound of a ship landing outside. “What’s going on?” She asked as she looked out of her window and saw an Imperial Shuttle landing in the middle of town. “Why can’t they just leave us alone?!” Twilight asked with anger. “The Empire returns, or probably stolen.” Flynn said as he grabbed the unicorn and Force leaped out of the library and towards the shuttle. Landing near the shuttle, he put down Twilight as she looked at Flynn. “Never do that without warning me again!” Flynn looked down at her and apologized. They looked to see Rex, Echo, Wolffe and Gregor running at top speed towards the shuttle with ecstatic smiles on their faces.

“What gives?” Flynn asked the four clones. “You’re going to see two of the greatest Commanders in the Republic.” Gregor said enthusiastically. “Are you talking about Cody and Ganch, because last I checked they’re with the Empire.” Flynn said skeptically, only to get his shin kicked by Rex. “Ow, what was that for?!” The Jedi held his shin in pain. “That was for insulting Cody and Ganch, they came here to leave those Imps behind. They probably went through Hell just to get this shuttle here without being followed!” Rex said angrily. “Well jeez, sorry if I pinched a nerve there.” Flynn said in annoyance. “Actually it wasn’t that hard, Imperial security wasn’t as top as the Republic’s.” A familiar voice to some said from behind the Commanders. “Ganch, Cody!” All four of the clones shouted with glee as they started giving the two new renegade troopers noogies. “What do you mean?” Flynn asked Ganch after the brotherly love beatdown was over. “Well I punched Cody to knock him out, restrained both his hands and legs, placed him into a crate and ran towards the hangar. Along the way I ran into Tarkin. He asked me what I was doing, so I made up the excuse that Kallus told me to check all of the cargo in the hangar, Tarkin dismisses me, and I ran into a shuttle, cleared it to leave, and next thing you know we’re here safe and sound.” Ganch said while looking at his friends shocked expressions. “That can’t be true.” Rex said resisting the urge to laugh at Tarkin’s stupidity.

“Oh it’s true Rex, every word.” Ganch said with a smile. “Well it’s great to have you two back.” Wolffe said patting Cody’s back and Ganch looked at the Jedi Master. “Heh, you look alot like the Commander I fought with in the Clone Wars.” He patted Flynn’s shoulder. “Tell me about it, Eric mentioned you when we we’re talking about the Clone Wars.” Twilight said as she looked up at the Commander. Ganch and Cody were surprised to see that the small equine next to Flynn could talk. “Are these the inhabitants?” Cody asked looking at the lavender unicorn with curiosity. “Yep, Oh hey Celestia, Luna, how are you today?” Flynn said as he looked at the two alicorns behind the two clones. “Quite fine, we came to see what was happening here and it turns out more allies had arrived.” Luna responded as the two alicorns landed near the clones. Ganch was surprised to hear the lavender unicorn say that she knew his old commanding officer. “Where is Eric, I’d like to see him.” Ganch said as everyone smiled sheepishly and placed their left hands and hooves behind their heads. “Well, you see…” Celestia started catching the two clones’ interest. By the end of her explanation Ganch was happy that Eric was alive and well.

“Well, he was sometimes reckless like another General I knew.” Cody said when Celestia had finished. “And who would that be?” Celestia asked. “Anakin Skywalker.” Cody said as he remembered some of his reckless yet successful operations. As if on cue, Flynn’s holocommunicator chirped. “Hold on a second, I need to take this.” Flynn said as he turned away from the group and answered his communicator. Upon activating it, Flynn saw his new daughter in law Roseluck appear. “Hello Flynn?” She asked with an excited expression. “Hey there Rose, what’s up?” Flynn asked with a smile. “I just want to let you know that your grandchild will be due in less than a week and that Malachor and Ella had arrived on Dandoran not too long ago.” Roseluck replied. “Well that’s great sweetie, how’s Eric doing?” Flynn asked. Roseluck’s ears dropped as she answered. “He’s not so great, he would usually care for me, but most of the time he’s been gone meditating for hours on end and bring back food and water. I’m worried that Eric might hurt himself if this continues.” Flynn looked at his daughter in law with a concerned expression. “The moment he wakes up, tell him to call me immediately, this can’t go on any longer!” He said with determination. “I will, I wish you a good day.” Roseluck said as the transmission ended. The group behind Flynn looked at him with concern. “What’s going on?” Luna asked. “Eric is meditating too deeply at times that it may end up destroying him if it continues, and he’s been neglecting Roseluck.” Flynn responded with concern.”What did you tell her to do?” Wolffe asked. “I told her to have Eric contact us the minute he wakes up.” Flynn responded. “I see, now what can Cody and I do to help around here?” Ganch asked Rex. “You two probably know something about the Empire’s next move, so let’s hear it.” Rex responded. “Well the Emperor is seriously upset about losing to some guy named Malachor, and he’s going to come back with a massive invasion force. One large enough to destroy every single ship and lifeform on this planet.” Ganch said with a fearful expression. “This is a serious problem indeed, if they’re willing to exterminate all life on this planet we need to find a way to get more numbers to help support our cause.” Celestia said with a serious expression on her face.

(Dandoran, Eric’s P.O.V)

After a few hours of rest, I woke up to feel rejuvenated and energized again. I was expecting to see Roseluck’s signature smile, but I saw this angry-looking scowl on her face. “Mood swings again?” I guessed as I got up and stretched out my back. “No. Call your father right now, or I’ll do it for you!” Roseluck said with a stern tone. I was surprised yet returned with an annoyed expression. “You’re beginning to sound like you’re my mother.” I said earning me an angry look from Roseluck. “Alright fine, I’ll do it.” I said as I went to the transmitter on the bridge and activated it to call my father. It wasn’t long before i saw my father appear. “Hello Eric.” My father said with a concerned expression. “What is it that you want to discuss?” I asked looking quite unhappy. “Son, your meditation habit is extremely unhealthy for you, Roseluck, and the baby.” My father said with a stern tone. “What do you mean?” I asked. “I mean you feel too connected to meditation that you’re neglecting the relationship at hand which should be more important.” My father said as I knew he was right, but I had a good reason. “I’m sorry, but the Force calls to me to return to the Temple here on Dandoran and just lately I’ve seen things you wouldn’t believe.” I said remembering the fall of the Jedi to the rise of Vader’s apprentice. “Oh really, is it so much more interesting, that you’re willing to meditate during your own child’s birth, is it more important to you than Roseluck, because if it is, then why did you bring her with you when all you do now is make her fear for your well being?!” My father shouted at me clearly upset at me. My anger for his arrogance began to rise and I was grasping my lightsaber ready to release my anger. This was the first time my own father has ever raise his voice at me in any way. “Father I don’t know what to say to you, but I‘ve seen things far more frightening than you could imagine if you would just listen, if not then I see no reason to speak with you any longer.” I held in my urge to shout back. “I’ll listen, but I think you need to know this before you start. Your child is due in less than a week. Did Rose ever tell you this, or were you too busy to listen to the love of your life?” My father said as he was willing to listen to me, but he did give me some food for thought. “The baby is due in less than a week? I had no idea! What kind of a terrible father have I become?!” I internally screamed at myself for neglecting Roseluck the way I have been.

“You may be right, but new threats are rising and it is only a matter of time before they arrive, Also Vader is now a master.” I sighed with anger and regret. “Yeah, about that, Commanders Cody and Ganch are here and they told us that the Emperor is going to assemble a fleet large enough to eradicate all life on Equestria, and we’re trying to think of a way to gather some allies. Do you have any ideas, also let me guess Vader has a secret apprentice doesn’t he?” My father responded which made me widen my eyes in surprise. The Commander I fought with was still alive. “As glad as I am to know Ganch is there, but no it’s not the Empire you should be concerned about, and yes Vader has an apprentice.” I responded loosening my grip on my lightsaber. “Well if it isn’t the Empire we should worry about, what is it.?” My father asked. “I couldn’t see, but the only thing I do know is that the Shadow has returned.” I responded knowing what he could do. “I don’t know what you mean son, but I’ll alert the others, but please don’t forget what I said about your meditation habit, you’re really worrying Roseluck, and it’s scaring me too. I can’t lose you son.” My father said with a hint of sadness in his voice. “I can’t make promises when the Force wants to show me something important, but I want to be here for Rose’s sake and your own. Tell Ganch I said hello by the way, Eric Out.” I said before ending the transmission. I turned around and heard Roseluck in the room sobbing a little. I walked in to see her almost in complete distress of what had been going on. “Come here Rose, I’m so sorry.” I said as kneeled down. She hopped off the bed and hugged me. “You’ve been so caught up in that meditation, I thought you didn’t care about me.” She cried out onto my chest. “I’m sorry Rose, I really should have told you what was going on, I promise I’ll try to keep you in the loop from now on.” I said as I hugged her and buried my head into her mane.

(Deep within the Outer Rim, 3rd P.O.V)

Within the Outer Rim, many battles during the Clone Wars took place in this region and after the Empire took over, Droid factories in many territories were destroyed and most of the CIS leaders were slaughtered by Anakin on Mustafar. However there was one leader who didn’t go to Mustafar and kept his fleet hidden from the Empire; Mar Tuuk with his commander TA-175 a Tactical droid commanded a fleet of 3 Providence Class Cruisers, 2 Trade Federation Ships and 20 Munificent Class Frigates. Onboard the Providence-class Cruiser, Dark Intent, Mar Tuuk was ready to begin his plan for a planet to set up his droid production facility. “TA-175 what’s the status of the fleet?” He asked his Commander. “All ships are prepped and ready.” The droid responded. “Good, I know of a good system to begin our droid production line, Type in these coordinates and make the jump to hyperspace.” Mar ordered as the droid typed in the coordinates and the fleet jumped to lightspeed. After a while of being in hyperspace the CIS fleet ended up seeing an entire fleet already in orbit around the planet.
