As the old unicorn and diamond dog inspected the ship that was once their home, they heard a noise coming from the air ducts. The diamond dog lifted up the covered to reveal Double Diamonds, Starlight Glimmer, and BB-8

"Where are the others? Where's the pilot?" the unicorn asked

"I'm the pilot." Starlight said

"You?!" the unicorn asked

The diamond dog growled in disbelief

"No, it's true; we're the only ones on board." Starlight said

"You can understand that thing?" Double Diamonds asked regarding to the diamond dog

"And that "thing" can understand you, too, so watch it! Come on outta there!" the unicorn said

"Where'd you get this ship?" he asked

"Niima Outpost." Starlight said

"Saddle Arabia? That junkyard?" the unicorn said

"Thank you! Junkyard." Double Diamond said

"Told you we should have double-checked the Western Reaches." the unicorn said to the diamond dog

"Who had it? Torch?" the unicorn asked

"I stole it, from Caballeron, he stole it from the Flim Flam Brothers, who stole it from Torch." Starlight said

"Who stole it from me! Well, you tell him that Shinning Armor just stole back the Millennium Falcon for good." Shinning said

"This is the Millennium Falcon! You're Shining Armor!" Starlight said amazed

"I used to be." Shinning said

"Shining Armor, the Rebellion General?" Double Diamonds asked Starlight

"No! The smuggler!" Starlight said

"Wasn't he a war hero?" Double Diamond asked the diamond dog

He shrugs and growled almost like he was saying I don't know

"This is the ship that made the Kessel Run in fourteen parsecs?" Starlight said

"TWELVE!" Shinning screamed

"Fourteen..." Shining mumbled in irritation

As he approached the cockpit he smiled as memories returned to him, then he turned around and walked back to the group and said

"Hey! Some moof-milker put a compressor on the ignition line."

"Caballeron did. I thought it was a mistake, too. Puts too much..." Starlight said

" ...stress on the hyperdrive." Shinning and Starlight said together

"Fido put them in one of the escape pod, we'll drop them off on the nearest inhabited planet" Shinning said

Fido growled in agreement

"You can't." Double Diamond said

"We need your help." Starlight told him

"My help?" Shinning said

"This droid has to get to the Resistance base as soon as possible." Starlight said

"It's carrying a map to Twilight Sparkle." Double Diamonds said

He stopped when he heard that name

"You are the Sinning Armor that fought with the Rebellion. You know her." Double Diamond said

"Yeah. I knew her. I knew Twilight." Shinning said

Then he looked at them and in defeat he said

"Fine I'll help you get the droid to the Resistance, but that's it, you got it," Shinning said

"Yes, thank you." Starlight said

Then he walked to the cockpit and sat in the chair with Fido in the co pilot chair Starlight came up to the front and asked

"What are you doing?"

'We're going out of here at lightspeed." Shinning said

"From inside the hangar? Is that even possible?" Starlight asked

"I never ask that question 'till after I've done it." Shinning said

Then after pushing a few buttons the ship exited from the larger ship and took off into space. After setting it in autopilot they walked back to were Starlight and Diamonds were sitting, Shining then looked at the droid and said

"Let's see what you got."

The droid beeped nervously

"It's okay show him." Starlight said

Then BB-8 projected an image of stars and planets with a line leading to an unknown planet

"This map's not complete. It's just a piece. Ever since Twilight disappeared, ponies have been looking for her." Shinning said

"Why did she leave?" Starlight asked Shining

"She was training a new generation of Jedi. There was no one else left to do it, so she took the burden on herself. Everything was going great, until...one colt, an apprentice, turned against her and destroyed it all. Twilight felt responsible. She just...walked away from everything." Shining said

"Do you know what happened to her?" Double Diamonds asked

"There were a lot of rumors. Stories. Ponies who knew her best, think she went looking for the first Jedi temple." Shining said

"The Jedi were real?" Starlight said in awe

"I used to wonder about that myself. Thought it was a bunch of mumbo jumbo. A magical power holding together good and evil, the Dark Side and the Light. Crazy thing is...it's true. The Force and the Jedi. All of it. It's all true." Shinning said

Meanwhile on Moonkiller Base, the headquarters of the Shadow Order, Dark Moon and General Ember are talking with Supreme Leader Tirek, who was a powerful centaur who was strong in the dark side, he has been through a lot of stuff from his scars that covered his face to one of his horns being broken in half

"The droid will soon be delivered to the Resistance, leading them to the last Jedi. If Sparkle returns, the new Jedi will rise." Tirek said

"Supreme Leader, I take full responsibility." General Ember began to said but was interrupted by Tirek

"GENERAL!!" Tirek yelled

"Our strategy must now change."

"The weapon...it is ready. I believe the time has come to use it. We shall destroy the government that supports the Resistance...the Republic. Without their friends to protect them, the Resistance will be vulnerable, and we will stop them before they reach Sparkle." Ember said

"Go. Oversee preparations." Tirek told her

"Yes, Supreme Leader." Ember said

As she walked away, Dark Moon faced Tirek as he said

"There has been an awakening. Have you felt it?"

"Yes." Dark Moon said

"There's something more. The droid we seek is aboard the Millennium Falcon...in the hands of your father,Shinning Armor."

"He means nothing to me." Dark Moon said

"Even you, Master of the Knights of the Moon, have never faced such a test." Tirek said

"By the grace of your training, I will not be seduced." Dark Moon said

"We shall see, We shall see." Tirek said as his hologram fades
