(Space over Korriban, 3rd P.O.V)

In the Space over the old Sith planet, The Separatist fleet was based within the planetary rings to make the rings an obstacle for incoming ships. The fleet had 15 Munificent Frigates and 2 Providence Cruisers. The droid captain on board the Providence Cruiser, Galactic Fire was in charge of the planetary defense. “Captain, are there any signs of hostile activity near us?” TA-175 asked the droid captain. “Negative sir, No enemy ships have been sighted as of no-.” The droid replied, but didn’t finish as a droid on a terminal interrupted. “Sir, our scanners have just picked up about 20 enemy vessels heading position just outside our range!” The droid franticly reported. “It must be the Empire, From my calculations, they must pass the asteroid rings around the planet. Slow them down so we may begin preparations on our attack.” TA-175 ordered the Captain. “Roger, roger. All ships fire at will, burn their fleshy hides!” The Captain shouted to his troops as they rushed to their battle stations. The Imperial Star Destroyers were appearing out of hyperspace and Vader inside the flagship of Sidious’s Fist looked at the CIS fleet. “How nostalgic to see these old vessels, but they aren’t of any importance, Admiral prepare for immediate assault and evade the asteroids.” Vader ordered the young blonde admiral. “Yes my Lord.” The Admiral replied and the Star Destroyers begin their attack and rose over the planetary rings. “Um Commander, the Imperial ships are evading the planet’s rings.” The Captain informed his Commander. “Well don’t just sit there attack them!” TA-175 shouted back in frustration. “Roger Roger.” The Captain said then turned to the crew. “All ships open fire.” He ordered and the response was multiple cannons firing upon the Empire.

“Lord Vader, The enemy has opened fire, shall we deploy the fleet to ensure that nothing escapes the system?” Captain Ozzel asked. “Send in fighters and have them escort the landing party to the surface and have the cruisers open fire.” Vader ordered as he left to the landing party so he could go to the surface of Korriban. “As you wish Lord. All pilots to your fighters and crafts assist the landing party crafts and blanket those ships in blaster fire.” Ozzel ordered. The Imperials returned fire on the Separatist Fleet as the Captain then shouted his next order on the oncoming fighters and landing transports. “Deploy all fighters keep the landing transports from the surface.” The Captain ordered. “Roger, roger.” A droid said in response to the order. Not long after the order was issued the distance between the Separatist Fleet and the Imperials was closed off with the droid fighters taking out TIE Fighters and a couple of landing crafts. The Imperial Fleet took quite a few droids down as well as they started to move to assist their landing parties. The capital ships engaged one another sending red and green blaster bolts into each other’s hulls causing massive amounts of damage to either faction. Vulture Droids and Tri-Fighters from the Separatist flew off to engage the Imperial transports and TIE fighters. “Lord Vader, we’ve engaged the enemy fleet and we’re sending the landing crafts some reinforcements.” Ozzel reported to the Sith Lord heading for the planet. The TIE fighters from the Star Destroyers began launching from the hangars and towards the enemy fighters to defend the transports. Some were blasted from cannon fire from the cruisers and some droid fighters were lost from TIEs. “Commander, there’s a landing party heading your way, we doing all we can to try and stop them, but a few have broken through.” The Captain reported remorsefully. “It is now time to use our ground defenses, just destroy all the Imperials or force them to withdraw.” TA-175 ordered his Captain as he avoided to not get upset. “Yes sir. All fighters, ignore any of the transports that make it past us, focus your attention on the fighters and capital ships to make them withdraw.” The Captain ordered his troops in space. The droids understood and began their assault on the fighters and transports that haven’t passed the Separatist Fleet. Droids picked their targets and blasted away multiple fighters and transports, but the Star Destroyers had hammered the fleet and lost 3 Frigates. The Captain pressed the attack and knocked out 2 Star Destroyers and critically damaged another. TA-175 on the ground prepped his ray shields around the base and walked towards the two ion cannons. “Open fire on my command.” The Commander ordered. “Ready to fire.” A droid gunner responded. TA-175 then spoke to his Captain. “Move the ships and make room for the ion cannons to assist.” TA-175 commanded. “Yes sir, all ships disengage and have the enemy follow, we have our surprise up and running.” The Captain ordered. The Separatist ships began to break off from their firefights with the Star Destroyers and started to head back towards Korriban.

(Equestria, 3rd P.O.V)

Meanwhile in Equestria, Starkiller and Malachor had just finished talking about their ordeals with the Empire. “Wow, so the old man and the living junk yard are legitimately terrified of you? You’d have to be a great master of both Light and Dark in order to make those two scared.” Starkiller complimented. “Yes, but think of it this way, The Force is just the Force, to me there is no need for a distinction between Light, or Dark. Every Force Wielder is naturally stronger with certain aspects, so abilities aren’t inherently good or evil, it’s how you use them.” Malachor said with a smile while making sparks of Force Lightning in his left hand. Then a feeling was sensed that felt off as if the galaxy was in a dispute. “It seems that the Empire has found someone else to bother, but I believe that whomever they’re attacking is but a small symptom to a much larger threat, I suggest we prepare ourselves, but not for a while, let’s see who the Empire is currently interested in so we can prepare for them.” Malachor said as he closed his eyes and started meditating. Starkiller did the same as his new mentor. “What do you see?” Starkiller asked. “I see a planet, more specifically, Korriban, the planet is under attack by the Empire as it is currently occupied by the Separatists, but I sense a tremendous amount of darkness coming from an Imperial landing craft and from within the droid factory on the plant’s surface.” Malachor responded. “I see it too, so it looks like the living junk yard is out to destroy somebody, but who?” Starkiller asked. “I’m not sure, but I know going to Korriban would be a bad idea.” Malachor conceded. “Agreed, so what do we do?” Starkiller asked. “For the moment, nothing, but we should alert Celestia, or Luna to this and plan ahead before jumping the gun.” Malachor said as he opened his eyes and sat still for a moment.”Alright, let’s do it.” Starkiller agreed with his mentor. “Fine, but we need to keep several of our allies in the dark about this, Eric included.” Malachor said with a hint of regret in his voice.

“Why? It just doesn’t feel right for us to do that since he knows the enemy and has more to lose than anyone other than you, or everyone else, I’m just going to be quiet now.” Starkiller said upon realizing how pointless arguing was going to be. “Mmhm, sure, now let’s head to Canterlot.” Malachor said. “Canter-what now?” Starkiller asked in confusion. “Canterlot is the capital of Equestria, so we need to head there now, or be stuck behind a bunch of self-absorbed nitwits complaining to Celestia for completely mundane reasons.” Malachor said. “Not that I have a choice.” Starkiller shrugged as he and Malachor headed to Canterlot. “Well it’s either come with me, or we tell Eric and you stay behind and do babysitting with Roseluck while we’re gone, take your pick.” Malachor suggested as he went towards the ship’s controls. “Let’s head to the capital.” Starkiller said as Malachor operated the ship toward Canterlot. “Haha, sure, we’re on our way, we should arrive within five to ten minutes.” Malachor said as he sat in the pilot seat.

Within those few minutes, the city of Canterlot was bustling with ponies that were just minding their own business, until a ship went flying over the city and landed in Canterlot Park. Many of the fancy and wealthy ponies were curious, some were terrified and ran home, while others just went about their business. As the two Sith’s landed within the Castle grounds, Celestia and Luna looked out to see what the noise was and were quite pleased to see Malachor but were unsure about his accomplice. “Sister, I don’t like the looks of Malachor’s newest pupil, he seems to be hiding something.” Luna said as she focused her telescope onto Starkiller. “Fear not Luna, trust me that he will not cause any harm.” Celestia reassured her sister. “I don’t know Tia, it’s not that I don’t trust your judgement, I just want to get to know him so I can trust him. Remember what happened to me all those years ago when you thought you knew me, but it turned out you knew nothing?” Luna asked her sister. “I know, but I know this stranger before he even appeared here, let’s at least get to know him.” Celestia said as she flew down towards Malachor and Starkiller. “Alright. Hey wait for me!” Luna called out as she took off. The two Princesses glided down to the Sith’s and Celestia had a motherly smile on her face. “Welcome Malachor and Starkiller to Canterlot.” “Nice city, can’t say that those ponies could care less about us being here.” Starkiller said with a slightly condescending tone. “Sorry about that, just some annoying nobles decided to try and heckle him and he almost lost his temper because they wouldn’t stop calling him an unsophisticated savage because of his clothes.” Malachor apologised for Starkiller’s attitude.

“Hey?! Inconsiderate Sith alert, Do you have any idea what it was like to fall for Vader’s tricks?” Starkiller snapped for a second. “I’m very well aware of your hardships, but still I think it was rude of those snobs to talk about your clothes that way, I mean you had to fight your way through a bunch of the Empire’s shenanigans and all you got were slight burns, nicks and tears, I say it adds character to your attire.” Malachor said defensively. “At least you’re not one to judge, and that I appreciate.” Starkiller said with a sigh with his anger now out of his system. The two sisters watched the two Sith talk for a couple of minutes before they both cooled down to tell them why they were there. “So our purpose for being here is that we’ve felt something through the Force, something dark.” Starkiller said. “What was it?” Celestia asked with a concerned expression. “We believe the Empire is attacking someone on the ancient Sith planet of Korriban.” Malachor replied. “You say that as if it was a bad thing.” Luna said nonchalantly. “That planet was the birthplace of my ancestors, the place I studied to become Sith, the place I met Ella for the first time, and where I governed the Sith Empire until its destruction! So yes, that is a bad thing and worst of all the Separatist force that tried to invade us is there right now being commanded by someone other than TA-175!” Malachor shouted at the lunar princess in anger at her complete dismissal of the situation. “Well what do propose that we do about it?” Luna asked puzzled. “First we need to think of a strategy to help get more allies, trust me with what the Empire is currently doing, this tells me that the Emperor is afraid of something and he’ll strike at us when we least expect it, so we need to get more ships and troops so we can possibly expand and secure Dandoran as a fallback point.” Malachor suggested making the two alicorns look at him with skeptical expressions.

(Space over Korriban, 3rd P.O.V)

After what felt like years of relentless fighting over Korriban, The Separatist Fleet was moving over some while keeping up their firepower and luring the Imperial fleet to engage them. “Commander we’re in position, fire when ready.” The Captain said. “Ion Cannons, Open Fire.” TA-175 ordered the cannons. The Ion shots fired into the space around Korriban and were travelling at a phenomenal speed towards the Imperial ships. “Lord Vader, we have a problem, they have ion cannons, they’ll be able to tear our ships to pieces, I tried to tell the Admiral not to follow the enemy ships, but he said that it would be cowardice not to follow and now three more Star Destroyers have been completely disabled!” Ozzel reported expecting to be strangled by Vader’s Force Choke. Then an ion blast ruptured the Admiral’s ship and with a direct shot from the magazine, the Star Destroy exploded killing thousands. “Congratulations on your new station Admiral Ozzel have the ships turn around and disengage from the cruisers, Prepare for the orbital strike.” Vader ordered his newly-elected Admiral Ozzel.”Thank you my Lord and consider it done.” Ozzel said as he set the fleet to its new position over Korriban targeting the factory below. “Fire at will, destroy that factory!” Ozzel ordered. The Star Destroyers still able to fight turn away from the Separatist fleet and were beginning their attack on the factories. “Sir, we’ve only lost 3 cruisers and the Empire have broken their attack from us, but apparently they are now targeting the facilities.” The Droid Captain reported to TA-175 who was with Maul. “Oh gee, I didn’t notice that until the fire alarms started going off.” TA-175 retorted sarcastically. “Activate the ray shields and get defenses set for the transports that had survived the blockade.” Maul ordered as TA-175 nodded and activated the shields.

“Looks like it time for the ground game to begin, and unlike the Empire we have the advantage of numbers and firepower.” Maul said as he looked at the inventory of dorids reserved for the ground assault. The screen showed over 60,000 droids had been constructed and were ready to kill some Stormtroopers. The version 1 battle droids had been programmed more like professional soldiers and are equipped with the E-1 blasters that can do an amount of damage. “All units to defensive posts, defend this facility as we prepare our final preparations for our assault.” TA-175 ordered as the droids did so without question. In mere moments the Imperial transports touched down and the the troops as well as Vader emerged from the transports and were met by the nearly endless waves of droids running out and shooting at the troopers. The Imperials had more casualties than the droids, but Vader managed to cut a path for himself and left his troops to duke it out with the droids. “Sir, The invasion force is ready and have already left the planet and awaiting your ship to jump into hyperspace.” TA-175 informed his general. “Good set course for..” Mauls started but was interrupted by the sound of mechanical breathing. “The Shadow lives, it was only a matter of time before you would reveal yourself.” Vader stated as he drew and activated his lightsaber. “Sir, you go, I’ll deal with him, I’m sorry I won’t be there with you to experience victory, but it is here I must stay.” TA-175 said as he drew his vibrosword and clashed with Vader, buying his general time to escape. “Thank you Commander, you will be remembered.” Maul said as he ran into his flagship, Savage’s Vengeance and commenced the launching procedure. TA-175 and Vader however were battling it out with a duel between a Sith Lord and a Tactical droid. “Impressive, most impressive, but not enough to stop me.” Vader said as he shoved the droid away and threw a few crates at the droid. Being able to hold his own, TA-175 slashed through each crate and came closer to Vader and began attacking the Sith once again, but Vader was too focused on the duel to notice Maul’s ship taking off and joining with the rest of the invasion fleet as the battle droids, and ion cannons fought off the Imperial offensive in an effort to drive the Empire back. Once Maul met up with the invasion force, he typed in the hyperspace coordinates and sent them to his fleet and one by one, each ship jumped.

(Equestria, 3rd P.O.V)

While the princesses and the two former Sith were debating on a strategy to reduce heavy casualties, a letter from Twilight appeared in front of Celestia. “Hold on a second, I need to see what Twilight wants.” Celestia said as she unraveled the scroll and began to read the letter.

“Dear Princess Celestia,
It has come to my attention that Sunset Shimmer has asked me if I could come and visit her for a bit, I know we have a lot of things going on, but it’s been so long since we’ve seen each other and I want to tell her about the crazy things that have been happening recently. If you refuse to allow it, I’ll accept it, but I think that this would be a good opportunity to patch things up with her, she really wonders what you think of her now, so why not tell her, and show her all of the amazing friends we’ve made?
Sincerely,
Twilight Sparkle”

“So what did the letter say?” Malachor asked as he saw Celestia’s face widen into a smile. “Twilight wants to visit my old student Sunset Shimmer, in the human version of this world, and that gives me an idea, since the Empire and this unknown threat are coming here, what do you think will happen if we were to just mysteriously disappear and leave them here?” Celestia asked as Starkiller started to laugh. “That’s brilliant! In the midst of all this we just spontaneously return and kick all of their asses, saving billions of lives and resources!” He exclaimed in happiness. “As great of a plan this is, how do we keep our subjects, as well as ourselves separate from the human counterparts?” Luna asked. “I feel as if something terrible could go wrong like a tear in the space-time-continuum or a warphole to collapse the fabric of existence.” Starkiller thought of the consequences that could very well be catastrophic. “Maybe if we made everypony change their race, then maybe we can avoid this, but how are we going to move the fleet to that place?” Celestia said as she looked up at the skies and saw the fleet orbiting the planet. “Perhaps if we combined a huge amount of Force energy and magic. I think that it would create a portal large enough to allow our ships to go through without any issues.” Malachor suggested as Luna hugged him tightly while shaking him from side to side. “You’re a genius! We need to get started right away!” Luna said as she released the Sith from her grasp. “With a plan in motion, let’s get to work and inform Princess Twilight of the news.” Starkiller said as Celestia began writing a letter to her pupil.

(Korriban, 3rd P.O.V)

In the facilities on Korriban, a duel with two unlikely adversaries clashed against one another, A Separatist Tactical Droid against a Sith Lord. The droid used a sword that has the similar properties of a lightsaber called a Vibrosword. “You are skilled, but you are still only an outdated droid.” Vader said as he struck down on the Vibrosword. “Perhaps, but then so are you since your master will replace you at some point.” TA-175 retorted angering Vader into slashing a control panel. “I will not be fooled by your trickery, but if you can tell me where the Separatist fleet are heading, I may show mercy.” Vader proposed to the droid. “I will never betray my general, not for all the upgrades in the galaxy, I’d rather be hacked to pieces than betray him!” The droid responded as he managed to slash through one of the Sith Lord’s shin guards. Vader looked up quickly as saw the blade slash against his mask leaving a gaping hole, exposing his left eye and eyebrow, showing the yellow eyes of the Dark Side that resides in former Anakin. His respirator sounded damaged and his voice sounded normal with some of his vocabulator. “Then you will die.” Vader said as he made one swift move and forced the droid towards him and slicing his torso in two. “I die for the cause.” The droid said as his systems finally shut down for good. Vader deactivated his lightsaber and looked at the fallen droid one last time before returning to what was left of his forces. His commander walked up to him as the rest of his platoon was fighting off the droid resistance. “My lord, We are taking heavy casualties and the Separatist fleet jumped into hyperspace not too long ago.” The Commander informed Vader. “Disengage and fall back we’re leaving this system, but first Ozzel will take care of these scrap heaps.” Vader said as he walked passed the Commander and his troops. “All troops fall back!” The Commander ordered as the troops ran back to the transports which soon took off back to the Imperial Fleet. “Lord Vader we’ve lost 6 Star Destroyers, 34 transports, and over 160 fighters. What are your orders sir?” Admiral Ozzel asked and informed the Sith Lord.

“Regroup at Coruscant, resupply, then depart for that peaceful, pony planet.” Vader said as he slightly limped to the medical bay to get his suit and mask repaired. “Yes sir, and Korriban?” Admiral Ozzel asked. “Destroy the factories down below.” Vader said as he faced the Admiral who visibly cringed at the sight of the Sith Lord’s face. “Y-yes sir, Right away.” Admiral Ozzel said as he walked away and ordered the cannons to fire. After a barrage of Imperial firepower, everything that was outside of the ray shield was scorched, including the droids that defended the perimeter around the ray shields and the ion cannons were destroyed. But the facility was still safe due to the durability of the ray shield and the Empire fled Korriban after they disengaged.

(Equestria, Twilight’s Castle, 3rd P.O.V)

At the Castle, Twilight and Spike were enjoying a nice dinner and conversing about the day they’ve had. “So what’s new with you Twi?” The dragon asked as he ate a couple of gems. “Sunset Shimmer wants me to visit and tell her what’s been going on with us here, but I’m not sure if Celestia wants me to though.” Twilight said with a sad sigh. Just as she said, Spike burped up a royal message from Princess Celestia and the scroll landed on the table. “Huh, I wonder if there is a new way of doing this other than from my stomach, why not her bird to fly over or something?” Spike wondered to himself a little tired of this happening to him. “Let’s see what she says.” Twilight said as she opened the letter and read it to herself.

“Dear Twilight,
You may have just given us the greatest idea to save multiple lives, We will send our subjects to the human world and you will also see Sunset Shimmer once more. We are grateful that you gave us this idea and we are most pleased to see how my former student has been.
Sincerely,
Princess Celestia”

“Yesyesyesyes!” Twilight exclaimed as she jumped around the dining room in joy. “I’m guessing that she said you could go?” Spike asked the happy mare. “Better, we’re taking everypony with us, and the Princess is coming with us!” Twilight exclaimed as she shook her dragon assistant. Spike felt as if he was going to be sick if she continued shaking him as if he were a maraca. “I’m very happy for you so can you put me down please?” Spike as he was on the verge of losing his dinner. “Whoops sorry, but this is so exciting!” Twilight said as she teleported to the mirror and began writing to Sunset.
