Star Wars: The Cosmic Crystalby Batfan98ChaptersChapter 1 Story of a Sith LordChapter 2 SummoningChapter 3 Capture And RescueChapter 4 The Millennium FalconChapter 5 Story of The JediChapter 6 InteractionsOpening CrawlChapter 1 Story of a Sith LordThe galaxy, a place with many star systems and races. It was once under the rule of a fair republic for thousands of years and protected by warriors, known as Jedi Knights, with a strange, mystical ability, known as the force. But now it was ruled by a corrupted empire and the Jedi were all gone. Thankfully the galaxy had hope, a rebellion was fighting to gain freedom, but soon they'll face an enemy they've never experienced, but also gain new, and unexpected, allies. A colorful portal opened and a strange creature was pushed out, falling onto the ground with an "Oof." The creature was a tall black pony with white glowing eyes, a horn and wings, and a flowing mane and tail. The pony rubbed his head with a hoof as he opened his eyes to find himself in a grass field, assuming it was a planet like Lothal. He growled. "Balst it. It looks like I'll need to find another plan." He stood up on his four legs "They sent me where I wanted." he then looked at his forelegs and growled "Blast it! I still remain in this form." He took a deep breath and calmed down. "No matter. I'm still strong with the force in this form. Now the question remains, how will I get the crystal?" he puzzled for a moment and then came up with a new plan and smirked. He then sensed that there was not much left of any other power within himself. "Hmm, it appears I'll need the aid of someone." he then closed his eyes, focusing hard and used the force within himself to find someone powerful. Someone who is strong with the dark side. After a few moments he sensed a presence with the dark side on a nearby planet. This being was filled with much hate and anger, perfect. "Yesss" He said slowly as he opened his eyes "this one is strong with the force and is one with the dark side. He'd make a fine ally. Hopefully i have enough magic to transport me to the planet he's on." The pony then clenched his eyes shut tight as he focused with what remaining magic he had left to go to where this being could be. In a flash, he felt the ground under him turn into a hard surface and there was some heat around him. He opened his eyes to find that he was on a landing platform. He looked around to find himself on a completely different planet, there were dark clouds in the sky and in the distance were volcanoes and some lakes and rivers of lava, it looked like he was at a volcano. He recognized this planet, he was on the Mustafar system. He then strolled towards the entrance with a stoic face. As he walked on a bridge over a lava river, he noticed two bipedal guards in red at the entrance. The two guards pointed their spears straight at him. "Halt. Identify yourself." said one of the guards, but the pony just kept walking forwards. "I said-ack!!" the guard was cut off as he felt something choking his neck, as well as the other guard and were lifted up into the air. They kicked their legs in the air, trying to break free, but with no use. A cracking sound was then heard, coming from their necks and they were dropped to the floor dead. Even though he killed the guards, he didn't bother to glance at them and kept a straight face like nothing happened. The door in front of him opened from a motion sensor and he walked in. Inside the castle, there was a room with grey walls and a vat with warm water in the center and two imperial guards. In the vat floated a figure that could hardly be seen, but it looked like he was floating in the water. The door slid open as an old man in a cloak came in, he looked nervous but he bowed in respect at the figure in the vat. "My lord, there's an intruder. He's killed six of the guards, what shall we do?" he asked, his voice in fear and worry. The water then drained from the vat and the figure was shown. He was bald and had missing limbs, his forearms and legs were missing and he had some kind of mask over his mouth, attached to a cord to help him breath and cords held him in the tank. The man was in nothing but some kind of black tight shorts, what was intimidating was that this man was grey and had burns all over his body. The man looked at his old servant. "I know, I felt his presence. Leave him to me." he said, his voice sounded deep and mechanical. The old man bowed his head "Yes, my lord." The pony stood on a platform over lava, he waited for the man he seemed the aid of. He had to let that old man live to tell him he was there, unfortunately he had to kill six guards when they tried to stop him. The presence he felt was getting closer and closer. He didn't reach for any weapon, he had to show he was not a threat. As the presence got closer he noticed the doors in front of him slide open and heard the sound of a haunting, mechanical breathing. The doors opened to show a tall, bipedal figure in black. He wore a mask, a helmet, a cape, and buttons were on his chest. The figure walked closer as he pulled something from his belt and a red glowing blade ignited. "Who are you?" the figure asked, his voice deep and mechanical. He walked closer towards the pony "What is your business here?" The pony didn't move an inch "Please, I do not wish to bring you any harm." The figure came to a stop a few inches in front of him, still keeping his lightsaber ready. "You've killed six of my guards.?" "Yes, but only because they wouldn't let me pass." The figure thought for a moment and realized he would've done the same, and so he deactivated his lightsaber and hung it on his belt. "What is it you wish to speak of?" "An offer. I wish to ally myself with you. I sense you are strong with the force, especially in the dark side lord...?" he trailed off, obviously trying to ask his name. "Darth Vader." the figure answered "And who might you be?" "I am a Sith lord that vanished from this world thousands of years ago." The pony began "Perhaps you've heard of me. I am Darth Hyagnus." Only thing that went through Darth Vader's mind was disbelief "Impossible. Darth Hyagnus disappeared thousands of years ago" he also took note of the pony's species "and he was a Zabrak, not the same species as you." "Perhaps I should explain my story, for you to understand." One Thousand Years Ago... I was a Sith lord, like you, and as you know I was feared by the galaxy. I had an intrest and belief in artifacts from legends and folk tails. I then found out about an ancient artifact, hidden centuries ago. It is known as the Cosmic Crystal, it has the ability to contain two powers at once. Legends said that it was hidden in the abandoned Sith temple on the planet Korriban. I've searched for weeks and then I found it. There was only one problem, I was unable to open the entrance. It can only be opened with if two powerful abilities were being used at once. A Zabrak in black robes sat cross legged outside the Sith temple, meditating. Darth Hyagnus kept his focus, sensing if there was a power he could find. I've learned the ways of the force, even two force teqniuqs that my master couldn't teach me, one that only few force wielders could accomplish. The ability to transform into an entity powered by the force, and to sense a great power from far away, even far outside our galaxy. Then after a few moments, he sensed an energy flow through his head, an energy he's never felt before, there was so much of it. He stood up and looked at the direction it was coming from in the sky. He then went over to his ship, a black Starfighter with an A-Wing like appearance and a red windshield, and flew off into light speed. It took very long to get to his destination, normally it would take two or three hours to get to a planet with light speed in the galaxy, but because of how far this planet was it was taking eleven hours and his fell was running low. Darth Hyagnus felt the unknown energy getting bigger and bigger, he was getting close. Hyagnus pulled the lever in front of him, taking the ship out of light speed. Right in front of him was a planet, the water was blue and the land was green. Suddenly the meter on how much feel was in his ship was running low fast until it reached empty. The ship then sent hovering into the planet's atmosphere, heat was now covering the ship. Darth Hyagnus then pulled a switch next to his seat, firing it into the atmosphere. Hyagnus held his arms out and it felt like something was holding onto him. He was now gently floating down to the ground and soon landed on his feet. He was in a grass field and it appeared to be kid day. The power here felt stronger and stronger. Now that I've arrived at the planet, all that was left was for me to fine a way to maintain such power. Hyagnus then clenched his eyes shut, focusing. After a few minutes he sensed something, it felt like sadness, anger, and hatred. He figured he'd approach this being as an entity since this planet has probably never known about other planets. So, Darth Hyagnus concentrated hard and in a moment, a black fog surrounded him and engulfed him. The black fog disappeared and he now felt that he had no body, instead he was an invisible bodyless figure floating. Hyagnus followed his senses to where this anger was coming from. He then found a creature he has never seen before. It was a four legged creature with grey fur, a dark blue mane and tail with dark green streaks, blue eyes, a horn on it's head, and it wore a brown cloak. Hyagnus felt the anger within the creature, it was high. He also felt the power coming from the creature. "Greetings." he said, his voice echoey. The creature's eyes widened in surprise. "W-who said that?" he called out "Who's there?" "I am an entity of power." Darth Hyagnus began "I sense anger within you, might I ask what it is about?" "Why do you wish to know?" the creature asked, he kept looking around to see who was talking. "Because I sense a conflict within you and I wish to help." "Help?" the creature asked, his brows furrowed in anger "Help. Hmph. That's all I wanted to give my friends, but they betrayed me." he snarled "All I wanted was to gain stronger magic so I can help them in their adventures, but they cast me out. Turned their backs on me!" his voice was full of anger and his eyes starting to water. Magic? The power Darth Hyagnus felt was magic? An idea then formed in Hyagnus' mind, if he were physical he'd be smiling. "Perhaps you would like to make them pay? Make them suffer?" The creature nodded "Yes." "Well then, what if I told you that I can make you stronger?" The creature looked surprised "W-what?" "You wish to get back at your so called friends. I can help." The creature looked puzzled "C-could you...really do that?" "Yes." Hyagnus said, the creature could picture him smiling evilly. The offer sounded tempting, this would be the perfect opportunity. The creature looked up, smiling evilly "Yes, make me stronger." Darth Hyagnus then phased into the creatures mind, he then altered his mind to be evil and give him the power he needs. The force was then combined with the creature's magic and some kind of black too covered the creature. It turned into a giant ball of some kind of black tar and it then warped into a shadow pony. I gave him temporary control so he won't know I was using him. I then went through his mind, finding out he was a unicorn named Stygian and what his friends were. I then found in his mind an old spell in a book he saw before that showed that a portal can be opened to another universe. We faced his friends and they put us in limbo, putting me in an endless rest for a thousand years. The spell was then broken and we were back in the real world. I secretly put the book that contained the spell to open the portal, it could only be opened by a group of magic users. I planned to go back to our universe so I can be able to use two powers at once, magic and the force, and open the With temple to get the Cosmic Crystal. However a princess rescued Stygian and only I was sent back to this universe, leaving me with no magic left and trapped in this form. Darth Hyagnus now finished his story with Darth Vader. "So there for I plan to use what magic I have left to show the princess that rescued Stygian that I'm here. Once she comes, we will find her and combine her magic with the dark side of the force in the Cosmic Crystal and take control of the galaxy." Darth Vader thought for a moment "Of course. With this power the Sith can rule the galaxy and the multi-verse." he and Hyagnus turned to leave through the doors "I will inform my attendants that you are no threat, and then I will contact my master, we will need his resources. Once we have the crystal we can overthrow him and rule his empire." Once the doors closed behind them they wandered through the long dark hallway, where several guards were. They would have attacked Hyagnus if they hadn't seen Vader with them, not that it would have worked, it showed that he was not a threat. After walking down the hall, they came through a door that slid open to reveal some guards behind it with a few attendants in black cloaks. The attendants had looks of horror seeing Hyagnus and the red guards redeid their spears. "I command you to stand down" Darth Vader said "he is of no threat, he only wanted to speak with me." The guards did as they were told and lowered their weapons, if their master hadn't ordered them to stand down then Hyagnus would have used the force to snap their necks. "Jeebot" Darth Vader said to a Rodian attendant "you will accompany him to a room, and show him what he wishes to see in the castle." "Lord Vader" Jeebot bagan "with all due respect, he killed some of the guards." Vader just stood there for six long seconds, his silence intimidating the attendant and the only thing that could be heard was Vader's mechanical breathing. Vader then took slow silent steps up to him. "Perhaps you are questioning my orders?" his voice showed no emotion, yet it still showed he was a threat. The Rodian gulped "My apologies, Lord Vader. I will do as you command." "Good." Vader turned to leave "I will contact my master now. See to it that our guest has our finest luxury." Jeebot led Hyagnus to his room, intimidated by the pony Sith lord the whole time. They soon arrived at a grey door, which slid open to reveal a room with black, whiney walls, a window overlooking Mustafar, and a bed in the corner. "I-i hope you enjoy your stay." Jeebot stuttered but Darth Hyagnus just ignored him as he walked into the room. "If you need anything we will attend." Jeebot said before leaving. The pony Sith lord silently walked over to the window observing the planet. He was gone for a thousand years, so much must have changed. What did Darth Vader mean by empire? Did the Sith Empire return again? And what of the Jedi? Minutes later, the door slid open to show an attendant "Lord Vader wishes to speak with you in the communication center." The attendant led the Sith to a room where Darth Vader was waiting and there was a hologram of an old deformed man in a black hood, who Hyagnus assumed was Vader's master. The attendant left as the doors closed leaving only the two With lords with the hologram. "Hyagnus, this is my master. The galaxy knows him as Emperor Sheeve Palpatine, but secretly he is the lord of the Sith, Darth Sidious." Darth Hyagnus bowed his head "I am honored." Darth Sidious held an emotionless expression "You are Darth Hyagnus. I see that you have been alive for the past thousand years." Hyagnus raised his head. "My apprentice tells me of a crystal that can contain power." Hyagnus nodded "Yes, Lord Sidious." "With this crystal we can destroy the Rebellion once and for all and crush anyone else who rises against us." Palpatine said. "Do you know anyone with a great power that we can combine with the force?" Hyagnus nodded "Yes. I know the right pony. Shall I summon her?" The Emperor nodded. And so, Hyagnus used whatever magic was left inside him to create a spell and send it across the universe to another being. He felt the power to through his head and his horn started glowing a black aura. The aura soon disappeared. "There, I've given my presence to the pony." "Good." Darth Sidious said "May I ask who this pony is?" Darth Hyagnus smiled evilly "Twilight Sparkle." Chapter 2 SummoningIt was a peaceful morning in the land of Equestria as Princess Celestia's sun shined over then land. In the town of Ponyville was the Castle of Friendship, home of Princess Twilight Sparkle, Spike the dragon, and Starlight Glimmer. The sun's beams shined through the window of Twilight's bedroom as she laid in bed. She slowly opened her eyes to the morning sun as she sat up in her bed and yawned. It was only yesterday when they freed Stygian from the darkness, hopefully there won't be anything else that'll put Equestria in danger anytime soon. Suddenly, Twilight felt a strange feeling in her head. "Huh? W-what is it?" she asked herself. The feeling in her head was getting bigger, it felt like a presence, a far away presence. 'What? Who's contacting me?' she thought. She then closed her eyes to focus on the feeling. There was no one with her but it still felt as if it was sent by an offworld presence, but what? Then she winced as she felt a sharp pain in her head that lasted for only a few seconds and saw some kind of black aura. She knew what it was, dark magic. The alicorn princess'es eyes widened as she quickly ran out the door and over to Spike's room. Once she reached the room, Twilight slammed the door open. "Spike! Spike, wake up!" she ran over to Spike, shaking him from his sleep. The dragon's eyes opened and he had a look of irritation on his face. "Twilight, go back to sleep." "Spike, this is important." Twilight pleaded "I've felt a presence containing dark magic." Spike's eyes widened "What?!" "I need you to send a letter to our friends and the princesses." Spike wasted no time to grabbing a piece of paper and a quill. "Dear Princess Celestia" Twilight began as Spike began to write "I have urgent news, this morning I've felt a presence of dark magic. I don't know who it comes from, but I ask you and Star Swirl the bearded to come as soon as possible." Spike then engulfed the note in his fire breath as it turned into a puff of smoke headed for Canterlot. Twilight had Spike write notes for Applejack, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, and Fluttershy. Starlight was unavailable due to a visit with Sunburst in the Crystal Empire. Soon, everypony arrived with worry, they all met up in the throne room. "Twilight, you said you felt a presence of dark magic?" asked Celestia. Twilight slowly nodded "Afraid so, princess." "Are you certain?" Star Swirl asked. "Positive." "So, who was it?" Rainbow Dash asked. "I'm not sure, Rainbow. But whoever it is it must be somepony, or something, that is up to no good." Twilight tried to answer. "Do you know where it came from?" Star Swirl asked, Twilight shook her head. "No, it felt like it came from offworld." Twilight puzzled for a moment, then her face brightened "But I think I might know how to get to it's location." Her head turned towards Spike. "Spike, come with me." She and Spike then headed to a back door and a few moments later came out with a mirror. They set it in the center of the group. "We could use the mirror that took me and Spike to the human world." "So what yer sayin' is that this dark magic is comin' from the human world?" Applejack asked. Twilight shook her head "No, Applejack. But if I focuse on the presence again, I can create an aura around the mirror, changing it to take us to where it came from and once we go there we destroy it." "Well Twi, if yer going', I think you shouldn't do it alone." Applejack said, stepping up. Rainbow Dash flew next to Applejack "Hey, you two aren't gonna take all the glory on this. I'm coming too." Rarity stepped forward "I shall go where ever it is you go, Twilight." Pinkie Pie hoped forward "Yeah, plus I can't have fun without you guys." Fluttershy slightly stepped forward "Um...I'll go too." Spike stepped forward "We'll be right with you, Twi." "You all are very noble, I would love to come along but Equestria needs me." Princess Celestia smiled. "Yes, and I need to help my friends adjust to the new ways of Equestria." Star Swirl said. Twilight smiled "Thank's guys." she now faced the mirror, her horn lit up and an aura surrounded the mirror, she will change it back to the portal to the human world when they return. The aura soon disappeared. "Alright, everypony." Twilight levitated Spike on her back "Let's go." They all walked into the portal one at a time and they were all met with a swirling vortex. Fluttershy, Rarity, and Twilight screamed, Spike felt like he was gonna throw up, Pinkie Pie was happily yelling "Weeeeee!!", Applejack yelled "Woo nelly!!" and Rainbow Dash shouted "Aww yeah!!" After about a minute, they reached the end of the portal and landed in a field of grass. "Oh, can we please not do that again?" Fluttershy pleaded. Pinkie Pie was giggling on the ground "That was fun." "Hold it!" they heard a voice. All the ponies and dragon looked up to see some tall bipedal creatures in some kind of white armour and held in their hands objects they've never seen before. "Identify yourselves." Twilight stood up on all fours "I am Princess Twilight Sparkle. We are the elements of harmony, what's your name?" her tone was friendly. "You have no position in asking questions." said one of the creatures, this one wearing an orange pauldron. Rarity scoffed "How rude. You see here, she was only asking a question." she marched forward "I don't know who you think you are, but you have no right to talk to somepony like that." "Be quiet." the creature demanded as he turned his head to one of the other creatures "Take them back to base." "Yes sir." one of them said and walked towards the Equestrians, one of them put and cuffs on Twilight's hooves. "Hey, what are you doing?" Rainbow demanded as she dashed straight towards the creature, knocking him to the ground. A strange sound was then heard and a blue beam hit Rainbow Dash, electricuting her to unconsciousness. All the their eyes widened and stared angrily at the creatures "What did you do my friend?!" Twilight demanded. "She'll be alright" said one of the creatures "but we'll do worse if you don't come with us." he pointed his weapon at them. Twilight lowered her head "Allright, we surrender." Chapter 3 Capture And RescueThe stormtroopers put cuffs on the ponies and dragon, and one of them carried Rainbow Dash over his shoulder. One of them pointed to a troop transport. "Get in." The Equestrians did as they were told and walked into the transport single file. When they all got in, one of the troopers just simply dropped the unconscious Rainbow onto the floor. Everypony and dragon gasped and gave the trooper a death glare. "Hey! Be careful with her!" Twilight yelled angrily. The Stormtroopers just ignored her as they all got into the transport. They then felt it move up and forward. The ponies and dragon were surprised by it, they thought that only blimps and hot air balloons can fly. After about twenty minutes, the transport landed and the ramp behind them slowly slid open. "Get moving." one of the stormtroopers ordered and they obliged as one of them carried Rainbow over his shoulder. Once they stepped out of the ship, they were in some kind of hanger. The walls were grey and the floor was black and shiny. Some TIE Fighters stood and some stormtroopers were walking in groups. They then noticed a man in a grey suit and hat with a badge with two red and blue lines on it approaching. "Trooper, what is this?" he asked the one with the orange pauldron. "Some creatures we found in the fields, one of the assaulted us." The officer eyes the ponies and dragon "Take them to the cells. I shall contact Lord Vader immediately." he turned to leave. "Move forward." one trooper ordered as they left to take them to their cells. "What do we do, Twilight?" Spike asked worriedly. Twilight looked back at Spike behind her "I don't know, Spike. But we will find a way to get out of here." The door to the communication room opened as Darth Vader stepped in. On a buttoned desk was a small hologram of an imperial commander. "What is it, Commander?" "Lord Vader, earlier stormtroopers captured seven creatures. One of them appeared to be a dragon and the rest...well..." he trailed off, unsure how to answer. "I have no interest in any animals being captured." Vader turned to leave. "But Lord Vader" the commander urged "these creatures are unlike any other." The Sith lord stopped in his tracks, could one of these creatures be the one that Hyagnus was supposed to summon? He turned back around, facing the hologram. "I'm listening." "Well you see Lord Vader, they..." The Commander tried to find an answer that didn't make him sound like a fool. "Speak now, Commander." Vader's voice held no emotion, but the man on the hologram knew there'd be consequences if he didn't answer. "W-well my lord, they walk on four legs, they have bright colored fur, one of them has both a horn and wings, and they have the ability to talk." that's it, it was over, he'd now be the laughing stock of the galaxy. "Which planet are you holding them on?" Darth Vader asked. The Commander was surprised, how did Vader believe him. He thought he'd probably just leave thinking he was crazy. He cleared his throat "W-well my lord, we currently have them on the Dantooine system." "I am heading there, immediately. Prepare for my arrival." Darth Vader said as he turned off the hologram and turned to one of his attendants "Bring Darth Hyagnus here." the attendant bowed and did as he was told. He soon came back with the pony Sith lord and left. "Darth Hyagnus, a commander from the Dantooine system has contacted me. He told me he is holding seven creatures prisoner, one of them having both a horn and wings." "That's her. Twilight Sparkle." Darth Vader then turned to one of his attendants "Prepare the Excecuter for my arrival immediately." The attendant bowed his head "Yes, my lord." The Commander stood surprised for a moment, Vader believed him? How on all the star systems in the galaxy could be have believed him? He shook the thought away and decided he'd ask him why when he arrives. For now, he has to prepare for his arrival. The suddenly, an imperial shuttle came into view from the sky and headed towards the base. The commander just remembered that they called for a resupply of food and amo for the base, that must've been it. The shuttle landed in the hangar after sending a clearance code and out came a browned haired imperial officer with two stormtroopers pushing crates floating a few inches above the ground. A stormtrooper approached them "Excuse me. What's in those crates?" "Nothing to worry about, just food and supplies." the officer answered. "We're going to need inspection." The officer stepped back and let them proceed. In the crate was definitely what the officer said was in there. "All right. You're clear for inspection." he turned to two other stormtroopers "You two, escort them to the storage room." The two stormtroopers did so and led them down a hall. He soon led them down an empty hall were a call block was on the right. The officers and two stormtroopers stopped in their tracks. The two troopers in front of them stopped walking and turned around. "Is something wrong?" one of them asked. And without warning, the officer quickly pulled his gun from his holster and blasted both the guards before they had time to react. The officer took off his hat "Not bad, eh?" The two stormtroopers took off their helmets, one of them being a young woman with brown hair and the other being a young man with blonde hair. "Good job, you're lucky no one heard that." the woman dead panned. "Well excuse me, your worshipfullness." the man said. "Han, Luke, see if you can hide the bodies." the woman said as she pulled out a white comm unit from her belt "Threepio, we are now in the facility. Has Artoo found the main power core?" "Why of course, Princess Leia." said someone on the other line "He says it should be in the next hallway on your left." "Good. Over and out." Leia turned off the comm and turned to Han. "Han, you and me to to the main power code and set up mines." "Got it, Princess." Han said as he knocked over one of the crates for all the food to fall out, what also fell out were a few cylinder shaped bombs. "Good thing we kept those underneath the stuff." Leia turned to Luke "Luke, get rid of those bodies in one of those call doors and meet us back in this hall." Luke nodded as he picked up one body by the feet and dragged it into the call block. He got to one of the doors and pushed the button and inside wasn't what he was expecting. Inside were a purple and green dragon and six four legged creatures with bright colored fur. The creatures and Luke locked eyes for what felt like an eternity until one of them noticed the body. "Oh my goodness!" yelled the white one with a purple mane. The yellow one with a pink mane gasped "Is he...is he..." Luke's eyes widened "You can talk?!" The blue one with the rainbow main was slowly getting up and running her head "What just happened?" she then noticed one of those creeps in the white armor and saw him holding a dead body. She reacted quickly and tackled him to the ground "Who are you?! And what'd you do to him?!" "Wait, wait!! I'm not gonna hurt you!" Luke tried to explain. "Then what were you doing with the dead body?!" Rainbow demanded. "Luke!" Han shouted as he ran down the hall "Luke, what's taking you so..." he trailed off when he saw the ponies and dragon. "Uh...hi?" Twilight said. Han's eyes widened but before he could say anything, stormtroopers came into the hall and saw the dead trooper and the prisoners escaping. Before they could react, Han shot one of them in the chest, killing him. All the troopers were quick to open fire as the two rebels, ponies, and dragon ran out of the hall. "Leia" She saw Luke and Han coming and as soon as she saw the creatures, her eyes widened and she then noticed the sormtroopers and opened fire on them as well. She then shot a control panel on the wall as soon as her friends and the creatures got out of the cell black and the doors closed on the troopers. "Come on. Now." Leia said as she and the others ran. "Wait a minute" Rainbow Dash said "who are you?" "No time to explain that, the whole base knows we're here and the longer we stay here, we die." Han said as they made a turn down a corridor. As they sprinted down the hall, Han spoke into a comm "Chewie, were getting outta here, get the Falcon ready." a growl was then heard on the other line. They then ran up to the doors that slid open to reveal the control room. The two men in there pulled out their blasters and fired. The rebels and Equestrians took cover at the wall corner. Twilight noticed most of the fire power was focused on the three humans, so she peeked her head out and fired two beams from her horn at the two men, knocking them out. They all then walked into the control room and saw the window overlooking the hangar. There were stormtroopers in the area. "That's a lot of stormtroopers." Han muttered. "How in the bay are we gonna get outta here?" Applejack asked. "Let's see." Luke said, he looked around the control room and saw the panel and an idea was planted in his head. He walked over to it, pushed his finger against the button and bent his head down to the mic. "Attention, there has been a crew of rebels spotted on the west side of the base, I need all units available, repeat all units." Many of the troopers quikly stormed (get it;)) out of the hangar and only a few were left. "Not bad, kid. There's only a few left." Han said as they headed for the exit door. They made their way down to the hangar to find some stormtroopers guarding the place. "Alright, it's only a few." He turned to the ponies and dragon "Alright, we gotta get past them." Rainbow Dash raised her eyebrow "We saw you with a dead guy, how do we know we can trust you?" "Because we're your only chance of getting out of here." Han said, he made a good point. "What do you think, Twilight?" Applejack asked her. Twilight thought for a moment "If they wanted us dead, they would've taken care of that by now." she then looked at Han, Leia, and Luke "Alright, we trust you." Han gave a nod "Good. Now, question is how do we get past them?" Twilight though for a moment and then noticed one of the crates "I think I might have an idea." her horn then shined purple as a purple aura lifted something from the crates and threw it far to the left, knocking down some crates in the process. "What was that?" one of the troopers said as they all went to go check it out. It was their chance now, the rebels and equestrians quickly and quietly sprinted over to the ship while the troopers were distracted. As they walked up the ramp of the ship, they heard doors slide open. "Hey!" one of the troopers yelled as they began to open fire. Once the rebels and equestrians were inside the shuttle Han quickly got to the controls. "Hold on everyone." he said as the shuttle was being lifted into the air and flew off. As it did, the commander stepped through the doors. "Have you dealt with the rebels?" A stormtrooper turned to him "No sir." "Blast it!" The commander yelled. Then suddenly an explosion was heard, sounded like it was coming from the main power core. Wasn't long until the station blew up. Chapter 4 The Millennium FalconBOOM is the sound they heard as they were flying off in the shuttle, the ponies and dragon looked at the side window as the ship turned to see the imperial facility now blown up into flames. They were now having so much doubt over these humans, sure they saved them but they blew up a place, killing everyone inside. Twilight's face turned to a look of anger as she turned to Luke and Leia "Alright" she stepped off the bench they were sitting on "who are you and what do you plan to do to us? Explain." she demanded, getting in front of her friends to protect them. Leia and Luke were surprised by her outburst "Look, we just saved you." Luke argued, standing from his bench. "You may have saved us, but you destroyed that place, killing everyone inside. What is wrong with you?!" Twilight stood her ground as Rainbow Dash and Applejack stood with her, determined to protect Rarity, Spike, Pinkie Pie, and Fluttershy. Leia stood up, but remained calm "Because we're at war." "At war? With them? Why?" Leia took a deep breath and exhaled "Look, I understand that you are shocked that we killed those imperials, but you must understand why." There was no excuse for killing people, but Leia said that they were at war and the mane six and spike didn't know which side was good. Twilight looked at her friends with approval as they all nodded and looked at the two humans in front of her "Alright. Why are you at war?" "You see, the men that captured you were part of the Galactic Empire, the one government that rules the galaxy with corruption." Leia explained. "Um...how are they corrupt?" Fluttershy asked. "They made slavery legal, no one's allowed to join unless your human, and they force anyone who lives to serve." "That's...that's horrible, those filthy ruffians." Rarity spat. Leia nodded "You see, we are part of an army known as the Rebel Alliance, we wish to bring down the Empire and restore the Galactic Republic, the government that rules the galaxy fairly." she assured. "Wait? Galaxy?" Rainbow Dash asked then her face looked like she met Daring Doo "Does that mean your aliens?" "Well, that's what we call people who aren't humans but in your case yes." Luke answered. "Wow, that...is...awsome!!" Rainbow was excited. Pinkie then hoped towards them "Ooh...do you have flying saucers? Do you know any other aliens?" she then gave a long gasp "Is there a planet made of cotten candy?" "Pinkie" Twilight interupted "how is that important?" Pinkie then zoomed over to Twilight, standing on her two back legs and poking her chest with a serious face "Just think Twilight, a planet, an entire planet made out of soften candy." "Actually there isn't, sorry." Luke said, he didn't know what cotten candy was but he sure knew that there wasn't any planet anywhere in the galaxy, even in any outer rim territoreis, that was made out of it. Pinkie wore a look of disappointment "Oh shoot." Twilight wanted to cut the awkwardness and to to introductions. "Um...I'm Princess Twilight Sparkle." "I'm Rainbow Dash." she said with pride. "I'm um...Fluttershy." she bent her head down at her hooves. Applejack tipped her hat "I'm Applejack." "I'm Rarity." she said politely. Pinkie then jumped in front of the group "I'm Pinkie Pie." "An I'm Spike, Twilight's number one assistant." Spike said with pride, making Twilight and the others roll their eyes. "I'm Princess Leia Organa." "And I'm Luke Skywalker, the man flying the shuttle is Han Solo." Luke pointed to the door that led to the pilot seat. "Han Solo? Wow, that is the most coolest name ever." Rainbow complemented. "Hey, how did you guys blow that place up?" Spike asked. "We stole a map of the facility we broke into and had Artoo look at it, that's how we found the main power core." Luke explained. "Artoo?" Spike asked. "Yeah, a droid we have. You know, a robot." Luke explained. Pinkie gasped "A robot? You have a robot? Are their any party robots?" Luke looked at Pinkie awkwardly "Uh...no." Pinkie felt another wave of disappointment as Spike asked another question. "So Liea, what planet are you the princess of?" Spike asked. Leia looked a little saddened as a painful memory played through her mind. Applejack was the first to notice and had a look of concern for her, she was about to ask when they heard Han yell. "Alright everyone. We've arrived." they then felt the shuttle lowering to the ground. Once it landed, the door to the pilot controls opened as Han Solo walked out with the ramp opening, steam spraying. They walked out onto a grassy field and in front of them was a ship that the Equestrians never saw before. It was grey and had a circular shape with a round satellite dish on it. Rarity gagged "What in Celestia's name is that?" "Get used it it" Han glared "'cause that's my ship, the Millennium Falcon." Rarity realized her mistake "Oh, um my apologies." Han seemed to ignore the apology as the ramp opened as he walked in, followed by Luke, Leia, and the Equestrians. They walked through a short corridor to an open area with a communal space with a table in front of it and a relief pilot bunk. There were also two robots, one was a good bipedal robot and the other was shorter, on wheels, and was white and blue. "Ah, Masters Solo and Luke and Miss Leia, you've returned." he greeted. He then noticed the strange creatures "Oh, I didn't know that you were bringing animals in here." "Hey! We're not animals." Spike exclaimed. "Oh my, they appear to be inteeligent, how wonderful. Greeting, I am C-3PO, human cyborg rellations, and this is my counter part, R2D2." he introduced as R2D2 made some kind of beeping noises. Rarity smiled at his manners. "I am Rarity. I must say darling, I am impressed with your gold plating." "Why thank you miss Rarity." "Oh oh, does RD2D do parties?" Pinkie asked excitedly. "Of course not, he is programmed for flying a starfighter and so much more." C-3PO explained. "Oh, then can you do parties?" Pinkie was hopping in her spot with excitement. "Certainly not, I am programmed for educate and protocol. I can also speak over six million forms of communication." "Huh, well it looks like I'll have to do a little reprograming." Pinkie smiled evilly. "Excuse me?" C-3PO asked but before he could do anything, Pinkie suddenly appeared right behind him and simply took off the gold plating on the back of his head and started messing around with the buttons. "Stop that. Stop that immediately!" C-3PO panicked but there was no use. Pinkie flipped a switch that turned off his vision. "My eyesight! I cannot see. Artoo do something." R2D2's reply was only a few beeps. "What do you mean this is enjoyable to watch?" "Pinkie, get off him." Luke said. "Pinkie Pie, get down, that is extremely rude." Rarity demanded. "Oh alright." Pinkie then just simply jumped off Threepio's back after turning his vision back on. "Thank you very much." Threepio said sharply. "Your welcome." Pinkie smiled, like he was showing real gratitude. Suddenly a noise was heard, it sounded like a growl coming from a lion or a bear. They turned their heads to the corridor entrance to see a bipedal hairy creature. "M-m-m-monster!" Fluttershy cowered. Han rolled his eyes "Will you relax already?" he approached the hairy creature "He's not gonna hurt you. This is my co pilot, Chewbacca or Chewie for short." Chewbacca made some growling noises in response. "I know they look weird but it looks like we're stuck with them." Han replied as it looked like he understands him. The ponies and Spike seemed to calm down a little seeing that he wasn't a threat. "Chewie this is...uh I never got your names." Han said. Twilight stepped forward "I am Princess Twilight Sparkle" she then gestured to everypony "this is Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Fluttershy, Spike, Pinkie Pie, and Rarity." Chewie gurgled something in response. "Why does he talk like that?" Rainbow asked. "Because he's a Wookie, talking like that is how their supposed to speak." Han explained, he then turned to the corridor "Alright, I'm gonna change out of this stormtrooper armor and we're gonna fly out of here." "Why didn't we use the other ship?" Spike asked. "Because this is the fastest ship in the galaxy, made the cessel run in twelve parsects." Han explained as he left, followed by Luke and Leia. They were gonna take turnes changing in a room that only one could fit in. Chapter 5 Story of The JediAs the Executor came out of hyperspace, the two Sith lords, Darth Vader and Darth Hyagnus, stood in the overbridge, the planet Dantooine just in front of them. "Perfect, Twilight Sparkle is within our grasp." said the shadow pony turned Sith "Soon, we will gain access to the Cosmic Crystal and crush anyone who will oppose us." "Yes, once we have it we will crush the Rebellion, and what remains of the Jedi." Darth Vader agreed. Personally he also thought this would be his chance to rule the galaxy with his son. Hyagnus smiled slightly at the fact that the Jedi were no more. He recently heard that twenty one years ago the Jedi order was destroyed and only few Jedi remained and soon whatever is left of their exsistence will be wiped out. Vader turned to an imperial commander "Prepare my shuttle." The commander bowed "Yes my lord." On Dantoine, Han, Luke, and Leia were now clad in their normal clothes. Luke now wore brown pants, black boots, a black shirt, a yellow jacket, and a belt carrying a holster with a blaster and a metal hilt with a rectangular shaped button on it. Han wore a white short sleeved shirt, a black sleevless jacket, dark blue pants with a holster, and black boots. Leia wore a long sleeved white shirt, white pants, white boots, and her hair was kept in two buns at the sides of her head. "Alright Chewie, get ready to take off." Han said as he sat down in the pilot seat in the cockpit, Chewbacca sitting in the co pilot seat. Chewie lightly growled in response as he and Han flipped various switches to get the ship ready to take off. Now that the engin was fired up, Han pulled a switch lifting the Falcon up in the air. Twilight and Spike walked into the cockpit and sat down in the two passenger seats behind the two pilots. "So why are we leaving this planet?" Spike asked. "We gotta head to the rebel base, there we'll see if there's a way to return you home." Han answered, not taking his eyes off the controls. They felt the ship lifting and moving upwards. Twilight and Spike looked at the window in front of them as they saw that they were getting closer and closer to the sky. They then noticed it fading dark and stars were coming up, the pony and dragon's eyes widened in amazement as they now saw that they were in space. "It's so beautiful." Twilight marvled. Spike too stared in amazement and then noticed something in the corner of his eye. He looked in the direction and saw three triangular shaped ships, two of them had a light grey color and one of them was way bigger than the other two and had a darker grey color. "Hey, there are other ships." Spike pointed out. Han and Chewie looked in the direction Spike was looking in. Han's eyes widened with worry "Chewie start the hyperdrive now." "What is it?" Twilight asked. "Those ships are imperial star destroyers." Twilight and Spike's eyes widened in horror "Oh no." "Don't worry, this ship can outrun them. Plus with our hyperdrive we can get out of here quickly." Han reassured as he and his co pilot were working on the controls. After a few seconds Han set his hand on a lever "Hold on." Once he pulled the lever back, they all felt being pulled back in their seats and saw the stars ahead of them quickly turn to blue lines as the ship flew out of there in the speed of light. As the imperial shuttle approached the planet the pilot pressed his finger against a comm button. "Imperial base, we are transmitting clearance codes, please stand by." A few minutes passed and no reply, things were getting suspicious. "Imperial base, we have transmitted clearance codes, are they valid?" no answer "Imperial base do you copy?" as they headed in the direction of the base, they saw a giant cloud of smoke. They headed over to it and all they saw was what was left of an imperial base in flames and pieces. As the shuttle landed, the pilot came over to Darth Vader and Darth Hyagnus in the passenger seats. "Sirs, the imperial base has been destroyed. We believe it was the crew aboard the correllian ship we saw earlier heading into lightspeed. Rebels maybe." Vader stood "Investigate the sight." The pilot bowed "Yes my lord." Meanwhile on the Millennium Falcon, Twilight and Spike could only stars are the blue vortex they were going through. "What's happening?" Twilight asked. "We're going through hyperspace, it's how we get to places faster." Han then flipped a small red switch then stood up "Alright, ship's on auto pilot. We should be good." In the interior of the Falcon, the rest of the group was as Luke put on a helmet with a shield over his eyes while some kind of white ball floated in front of him. "Hey Luke" Spike greeted "what're you doing?" "Training how to use my lightsaber." Luke answered as he pulled the hilt from his belt. Twilight raised her eyebrow "Lightsaber? What's that?" Luke took the helmet off and looked at the alicorn "It's a weapon that I use at times." he held the hilt in front of him in demonstration. Applejack raised her eyebrow "No offense sugarcube, but I don't see how that could be used as a weapon." "Ooh, maybe it shoots lasers." Pinkie suggested. Luke shook his head "No it doesn't. It's actually a sword type weapon." he then pressed the rectangular shaped button on the hilt and suddenly a plasma blade glowing blue ignited. The ponies and dragon stared at the lightsaber in amazement. Twilight's smile grew wider "Oh my gosh, I need to study the creation and history of this weapon." she beamed. Spike rolled his eyes "Oh great here we go." Han looked down at him "Is she always like this?" "Every time there's something interesting." Rarity stared in amazement "Oh my, I'm not fond of violence but that is the most beautiful weapon I've ever seen." "Beautiful? More like awesome!" Rainbow exclaimed. She then looked at Han, Leia, and Chewie. "Do you guys have lightsaber too?" Leia shook her head "I'm afraid not, Luke's the only one with a weapon like that." "Yeah, they're even hard to find." "Um...why are they hard to find?" Fluttershy asked. "Because only Jedi use them, and sadly there's not many Jedi left." Luke answered as he deactivated the lightsaber. "If I may ask, what are Jedi?" Rarity questioned. "You see, Jedi were the peace keepers for thousands of years." Luke explained "They've fought for peace and balance throughout the galaxy." Luke slightly lowered his head sadly "Sadly though, they were wiped out twenty one years ago." Fluttershy put a hoot over her mouth "Goodness, what happened?" Luke raised his head to look at the newcomers "Years ago when there was a republic, there was a group of separatists know as the Confederacy of Independent Systems who wanted to separate from the Republic, which caused the Clone Wars. So called because the Republic used an army of clones as a military." "Clones? Cloning exists in this universe?" Twilight asked, Skywalker nodded. Twilight rubbed her chin. "Interesting." "The Jedi served as generals in the war. At the end of the war the clones suddenly turned against the Jedi, they were labeled as traitors to the Republic." "Now why did the Republic lable them as traitors?" Applejack asked. "You see, it wasn't the Republic" Leia explained "it was Supreme Chancellor Palpatine. He said the Jedi attempted an assassination on his life to overthrow the Republic. My father, Bail Organa, knew the chancellor was lying because he knew the Jedi for years and they were always loyal to the Republic." Luke nodded "After that, he turned the Galactic Republic into the Galactic Empire, naming himself emperor. An army of clones then attacked the Jedi temple, being led by a Sith Lord named Darth Vader." his face the saddened "He then betrayed and murdered my father, Anakin Skywalker." The newcomers gasped. Fluttershy wasted no time in flying over to Luke and hugging him in comfort. "I'm so sorry about your father." Luke was surprised by the hut but accepted it as he awkwardly returned the hug. After a moment they broke the hug. "I wish to become a Jedi like my father and learn the ways of the force." "The force?" Spike asked. "Oh yeah, you see the force is an energy field created by all living things." Luke explained "It's what gives a Jedi his power. Once I learn the ways of the force and become a Jedi, I'll restore the Jedi order and bring balance to the force." Twilight walked towards him "Well Luke, I'm sure your father would be proud." the other Equestrians nodded in agreement as Luke felt appreciated. On the executer Darth Vader and Darth Hyagnus waited in the bridge, for earlier Vader called for an arrival for someone. "Are you certain this person will bring Twilight to us?" Hyagnus asked. "I am certain, he has been successful on many assignments." Vader answered. Soon an imperial commander came into the bridge. "My lords, he has arrived." The doors then slid open as an armoured figure walked in. "Darth Hyagnus, this is the famous bounty hunter Boba Fett." Chapter 6 InteractionsAs the Millennium Falcon flown through hyperspace, the Mane Six and Spike thought they'd get to know their new friends. Luke had the white ball, known as a marksmen-h combat remote, float in front of him as he put on a helmet that had a blast shield covering his eyes and activated his lightsaber. "How the hay are you gonna train yer self if ya can't see what's in front of ya?" Applejack asked as she, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Twilight, Rarity, Han and R2D2 watched while C-3PO powered down. "I can't trust my eyesight, it'll trick me. I have to rely on the force to help me." Luke answered as he held the saber in front of him with two hands. The remote fired a yellow laser and to the newcomers' surprise, Luke quickly blocked it with his saber. The remote raised a little higher and fired down on Luke, he quickly raised the blade in front of his head blocking the laser. The remote turned to his left and fired as quickly turned and blocked the laser. The remote then went behind Luke and in a few intense seconds it fired, but Luke quickly spun around swinging the blade hitting the laser. "Wow, that was awesome!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed. Pinkie Pie bounced up. "Yeah, that was super duper fantastically amazing!" Luke took the helmet off after deactivating his lightsaber "Well, all I had to do was reach out to the force and let it this me." Solo shrugged "At first I thought it was just luck. Thought there was no such thing as the force at first, hate to say it but I was proven wrong judging by what I've seen the past two years." Meanwhile Spike and Chewbacca were currently sitting at a table, in the same room where the group was, playing a game on a circular board with a chess pattern with holograms of various monsters, known as Dejarik. The game was nothing like Spike had ever seen before, it was amazing right next to ogres and oubliettes. Spike pressed a button sending his rancor to kill Chewie's wampa. Chewie roared in anger at Spike. "Hey, don't have to get that angry." Spike retorted. Han noticed "You don't want to do that kid." Spike turned his head to Solo "Why? I get that he's upset but it's just a game." Spike proclaimed "Who cares if he's loosing, no one worries about upsetting me when I lose." Han leaned a little in his seat "That's because you don't tear peoples arms from their sockets whenever you lose." Spike's eyes widened as he looked at Chewie who leaned back in his seat with his arms crossed behind his head. "Wookies are known to do that." Han said. Spike swallowed nervously "Uh...I forfeit." Chewbacca chuckled. Rarity decided to look around the ship, to her it was far from perfect. "Look at this place, it has no sense of etiquette and it is down right disgusting." She decided that a little beauty sleep might take her mind off things, so she headed to the main hold were Han was. "Excuse me Mr. Solo, may I-" Han interrupted "Did you just cal me 'Mr. Solo'?" Rarity rolled her eyes "Han, may I borrow a room?" "Sure, it's the first door on the right in the corridor." Rarity smiled "Thanks darling." She went in the direction Han told her to go and she found a slide open door in front of her with a control panel right next to it which she assumed was for opening the door. She pushed her hoof against the button and the door slid open. "Perfect, now I can get some beauty sle-" Rarity cut herself and looked in shock and disgust at the sight she was seeing. The room was a mess. There were clothes on the floor and nothing was organized. Han came into the corridor and found Rarity "Found what your looking for?" Rarity turned her head to Han with an annoyed expression. "Hardly, this room a an absolute mess. How do you live on this ship without cleaning up after yourself? Oh and don't get me started on the ship itself, it's horrid. It looks like something pulled from the garbage and I don't know how your friends can handle it." Han's brows furrowed as he pointed an angry finger at Rarity "Now listen here, this ship is mine. I don't care what you think should be organized or not, because it's organized in my eyes and I don't need some upper class sweetheart telling me what she to do." Rarity's brows slowly furrowed "Sweetheart?" her blood started to boil "How dare you call me that?! I am no sweetheart, I should have you know that I am a successful fashonesta that has made dress designs from Ponyville to Canterlot you beast!" Outside of the corridore Applejack and Leia heard the arguing. "Wow, I got the feeling Rarity might get into an argument with Han here." Applejack commented. Leia nodded in agreement "Me too. I've gotten into many arguments with Han in the past." "So uh, how'd you meet Han and the others?" "Well, I've known Threepio and Artoo all my life since they were my father's droids. I first met Han, Chewbacca, and Luke when they rescued me from the Death Star." Applejack raised a questioning eyebrow "The Death Star?" "It's a battle station the Empire made. You see, I was once part of the Imperial Senate but me and my father were secretly working with the Rebellion. The Empire found out about my alliance with the Rebellion and so I was captured when they attempted to recover the Death Star plans we stole. I was held captive aboard the station where they tried to get me to tell them where the rebel base was." Leia then remembered the painful memories "They put me through torture." Applejack's eyes widened "Land sacks, is that what you were thinkin' about back on the shuttle?" "What do you mean?" "I noticed you were in a sad mood on the shuttle. Were ya thinkin' of what they did to ya?" Leia's expression saddened "No, something worse." she took a deep breath "The Death Star was made to spread fear through the galaxy, it had enough power to destroy an entire planet." her head lowered "They destroyed Alderaan, my home planet." Applejack gasped "Sweet Celestia, I'm so sorry 'bout that." Leia looked at Applejack "Thank you for your sympathy." Applejack's face shifted from sadness to anger "Why in the hay would they do that? All those people, what were they trying to gain?" "Fear." Leia answered "They were trying to gain fear from the galaxy so it would be unlikely for a rebellion." Applejack's brows furrowed lower "Those...those monsters." Leia put a hand on Applejack's shoulder getting her attention. "But don't worry because Alderaan's destruction didn't bring fear, it brought anger." she reassured "Destroying Alderaan proved to the galaxy how cruel the Empire was. Many systems turned against the Empire and announced their support for the Rebellion and many citizens joined our cause." Applejack smiled a little "That's great to hear. But weren't they a little worried this Death Star would destroy their planets too?" Leia shook her head "No, in twenty four hours after I was rescued the Empire found our base on Yavin 4 and the Death Star came to destroy it. We sent a fighter squadron to the station to destroy the station after we found a weakness. Luke was part of the attack, he fired a proton torpedo down an exhaust port which led to the main reacor, destroying the station." Applejack smiled proudly "Luke destroyed that thing? He must've been considered a hero." Leia nodded "He was. He not only inspired the Rebellion but he also spread hope to the galaxy, because destroying the Death Star proved the Empire wasn't invincible and it can be overthrown." Applejack had a sense of pried within her "So you gave the galaxy hope in defeatin' the Empire." "Yes, the Rebellion was built on hope." Applejack smiled at that, this Rebellion never lost hope. They always held on to hope. She couldn't leave this galaxy under the Empire's clutches, maybe she should stay. Opening CrawlA long time ago in a galaxy far, far away... STAR WARS THE COSMIC CRYSTAL The Galactic Civil War rages on, as the Rebel Alliance continues to fight back against the Galactic Empire in order to restore freedom to the galaxy. Darth Vader continues his search for Luke Skywalker, determined to convert him to the dark side of the force and overthrow the Emperor. Meanwhile on another world, Princess Twilight Sparkle, Star Swirl The Bearded, and their friends have freed Stygian from a darkness, and banished it to another world. Little do they know it was part of his plan all along...
Chapter 1 Story of a Sith LordThe galaxy, a place with many star systems and races. It was once under the rule of a fair republic for thousands of years and protected by warriors, known as Jedi Knights, with a strange, mystical ability, known as the force. But now it was ruled by a corrupted empire and the Jedi were all gone. Thankfully the galaxy had hope, a rebellion was fighting to gain freedom, but soon they'll face an enemy they've never experienced, but also gain new, and unexpected, allies. A colorful portal opened and a strange creature was pushed out, falling onto the ground with an "Oof." The creature was a tall black pony with white glowing eyes, a horn and wings, and a flowing mane and tail. The pony rubbed his head with a hoof as he opened his eyes to find himself in a grass field, assuming it was a planet like Lothal. He growled. "Balst it. It looks like I'll need to find another plan." He stood up on his four legs "They sent me where I wanted." he then looked at his forelegs and growled "Blast it! I still remain in this form." He took a deep breath and calmed down. "No matter. I'm still strong with the force in this form. Now the question remains, how will I get the crystal?" he puzzled for a moment and then came up with a new plan and smirked. He then sensed that there was not much left of any other power within himself. "Hmm, it appears I'll need the aid of someone." he then closed his eyes, focusing hard and used the force within himself to find someone powerful. Someone who is strong with the dark side. After a few moments he sensed a presence with the dark side on a nearby planet. This being was filled with much hate and anger, perfect. "Yesss" He said slowly as he opened his eyes "this one is strong with the force and is one with the dark side. He'd make a fine ally. Hopefully i have enough magic to transport me to the planet he's on." The pony then clenched his eyes shut tight as he focused with what remaining magic he had left to go to where this being could be. In a flash, he felt the ground under him turn into a hard surface and there was some heat around him. He opened his eyes to find that he was on a landing platform. He looked around to find himself on a completely different planet, there were dark clouds in the sky and in the distance were volcanoes and some lakes and rivers of lava, it looked like he was at a volcano. He recognized this planet, he was on the Mustafar system. He then strolled towards the entrance with a stoic face. As he walked on a bridge over a lava river, he noticed two bipedal guards in red at the entrance. The two guards pointed their spears straight at him. "Halt. Identify yourself." said one of the guards, but the pony just kept walking forwards. "I said-ack!!" the guard was cut off as he felt something choking his neck, as well as the other guard and were lifted up into the air. They kicked their legs in the air, trying to break free, but with no use. A cracking sound was then heard, coming from their necks and they were dropped to the floor dead. Even though he killed the guards, he didn't bother to glance at them and kept a straight face like nothing happened. The door in front of him opened from a motion sensor and he walked in. Inside the castle, there was a room with grey walls and a vat with warm water in the center and two imperial guards. In the vat floated a figure that could hardly be seen, but it looked like he was floating in the water. The door slid open as an old man in a cloak came in, he looked nervous but he bowed in respect at the figure in the vat. "My lord, there's an intruder. He's killed six of the guards, what shall we do?" he asked, his voice in fear and worry. The water then drained from the vat and the figure was shown. He was bald and had missing limbs, his forearms and legs were missing and he had some kind of mask over his mouth, attached to a cord to help him breath and cords held him in the tank. The man was in nothing but some kind of black tight shorts, what was intimidating was that this man was grey and had burns all over his body. The man looked at his old servant. "I know, I felt his presence. Leave him to me." he said, his voice sounded deep and mechanical. The old man bowed his head "Yes, my lord." The pony stood on a platform over lava, he waited for the man he seemed the aid of. He had to let that old man live to tell him he was there, unfortunately he had to kill six guards when they tried to stop him. The presence he felt was getting closer and closer. He didn't reach for any weapon, he had to show he was not a threat. As the presence got closer he noticed the doors in front of him slide open and heard the sound of a haunting, mechanical breathing. The doors opened to show a tall, bipedal figure in black. He wore a mask, a helmet, a cape, and buttons were on his chest. The figure walked closer as he pulled something from his belt and a red glowing blade ignited. "Who are you?" the figure asked, his voice deep and mechanical. He walked closer towards the pony "What is your business here?" The pony didn't move an inch "Please, I do not wish to bring you any harm." The figure came to a stop a few inches in front of him, still keeping his lightsaber ready. "You've killed six of my guards.?" "Yes, but only because they wouldn't let me pass." The figure thought for a moment and realized he would've done the same, and so he deactivated his lightsaber and hung it on his belt. "What is it you wish to speak of?" "An offer. I wish to ally myself with you. I sense you are strong with the force, especially in the dark side lord...?" he trailed off, obviously trying to ask his name. "Darth Vader." the figure answered "And who might you be?" "I am a Sith lord that vanished from this world thousands of years ago." The pony began "Perhaps you've heard of me. I am Darth Hyagnus." Only thing that went through Darth Vader's mind was disbelief "Impossible. Darth Hyagnus disappeared thousands of years ago" he also took note of the pony's species "and he was a Zabrak, not the same species as you." "Perhaps I should explain my story, for you to understand." One Thousand Years Ago... I was a Sith lord, like you, and as you know I was feared by the galaxy. I had an intrest and belief in artifacts from legends and folk tails. I then found out about an ancient artifact, hidden centuries ago. It is known as the Cosmic Crystal, it has the ability to contain two powers at once. Legends said that it was hidden in the abandoned Sith temple on the planet Korriban. I've searched for weeks and then I found it. There was only one problem, I was unable to open the entrance. It can only be opened with if two powerful abilities were being used at once. A Zabrak in black robes sat cross legged outside the Sith temple, meditating. Darth Hyagnus kept his focus, sensing if there was a power he could find. I've learned the ways of the force, even two force teqniuqs that my master couldn't teach me, one that only few force wielders could accomplish. The ability to transform into an entity powered by the force, and to sense a great power from far away, even far outside our galaxy. Then after a few moments, he sensed an energy flow through his head, an energy he's never felt before, there was so much of it. He stood up and looked at the direction it was coming from in the sky. He then went over to his ship, a black Starfighter with an A-Wing like appearance and a red windshield, and flew off into light speed. It took very long to get to his destination, normally it would take two or three hours to get to a planet with light speed in the galaxy, but because of how far this planet was it was taking eleven hours and his fell was running low. Darth Hyagnus felt the unknown energy getting bigger and bigger, he was getting close. Hyagnus pulled the lever in front of him, taking the ship out of light speed. Right in front of him was a planet, the water was blue and the land was green. Suddenly the meter on how much feel was in his ship was running low fast until it reached empty. The ship then sent hovering into the planet's atmosphere, heat was now covering the ship. Darth Hyagnus then pulled a switch next to his seat, firing it into the atmosphere. Hyagnus held his arms out and it felt like something was holding onto him. He was now gently floating down to the ground and soon landed on his feet. He was in a grass field and it appeared to be kid day. The power here felt stronger and stronger. Now that I've arrived at the planet, all that was left was for me to fine a way to maintain such power. Hyagnus then clenched his eyes shut, focusing. After a few minutes he sensed something, it felt like sadness, anger, and hatred. He figured he'd approach this being as an entity since this planet has probably never known about other planets. So, Darth Hyagnus concentrated hard and in a moment, a black fog surrounded him and engulfed him. The black fog disappeared and he now felt that he had no body, instead he was an invisible bodyless figure floating. Hyagnus followed his senses to where this anger was coming from. He then found a creature he has never seen before. It was a four legged creature with grey fur, a dark blue mane and tail with dark green streaks, blue eyes, a horn on it's head, and it wore a brown cloak. Hyagnus felt the anger within the creature, it was high. He also felt the power coming from the creature. "Greetings." he said, his voice echoey. The creature's eyes widened in surprise. "W-who said that?" he called out "Who's there?" "I am an entity of power." Darth Hyagnus began "I sense anger within you, might I ask what it is about?" "Why do you wish to know?" the creature asked, he kept looking around to see who was talking. "Because I sense a conflict within you and I wish to help." "Help?" the creature asked, his brows furrowed in anger "Help. Hmph. That's all I wanted to give my friends, but they betrayed me." he snarled "All I wanted was to gain stronger magic so I can help them in their adventures, but they cast me out. Turned their backs on me!" his voice was full of anger and his eyes starting to water. Magic? The power Darth Hyagnus felt was magic? An idea then formed in Hyagnus' mind, if he were physical he'd be smiling. "Perhaps you would like to make them pay? Make them suffer?" The creature nodded "Yes." "Well then, what if I told you that I can make you stronger?" The creature looked surprised "W-what?" "You wish to get back at your so called friends. I can help." The creature looked puzzled "C-could you...really do that?" "Yes." Hyagnus said, the creature could picture him smiling evilly. The offer sounded tempting, this would be the perfect opportunity. The creature looked up, smiling evilly "Yes, make me stronger." Darth Hyagnus then phased into the creatures mind, he then altered his mind to be evil and give him the power he needs. The force was then combined with the creature's magic and some kind of black too covered the creature. It turned into a giant ball of some kind of black tar and it then warped into a shadow pony. I gave him temporary control so he won't know I was using him. I then went through his mind, finding out he was a unicorn named Stygian and what his friends were. I then found in his mind an old spell in a book he saw before that showed that a portal can be opened to another universe. We faced his friends and they put us in limbo, putting me in an endless rest for a thousand years. The spell was then broken and we were back in the real world. I secretly put the book that contained the spell to open the portal, it could only be opened by a group of magic users. I planned to go back to our universe so I can be able to use two powers at once, magic and the force, and open the With temple to get the Cosmic Crystal. However a princess rescued Stygian and only I was sent back to this universe, leaving me with no magic left and trapped in this form. Darth Hyagnus now finished his story with Darth Vader. "So there for I plan to use what magic I have left to show the princess that rescued Stygian that I'm here. Once she comes, we will find her and combine her magic with the dark side of the force in the Cosmic Crystal and take control of the galaxy." Darth Vader thought for a moment "Of course. With this power the Sith can rule the galaxy and the multi-verse." he and Hyagnus turned to leave through the doors "I will inform my attendants that you are no threat, and then I will contact my master, we will need his resources. Once we have the crystal we can overthrow him and rule his empire." Once the doors closed behind them they wandered through the long dark hallway, where several guards were. They would have attacked Hyagnus if they hadn't seen Vader with them, not that it would have worked, it showed that he was not a threat. After walking down the hall, they came through a door that slid open to reveal some guards behind it with a few attendants in black cloaks. The attendants had looks of horror seeing Hyagnus and the red guards redeid their spears. "I command you to stand down" Darth Vader said "he is of no threat, he only wanted to speak with me." The guards did as they were told and lowered their weapons, if their master hadn't ordered them to stand down then Hyagnus would have used the force to snap their necks. "Jeebot" Darth Vader said to a Rodian attendant "you will accompany him to a room, and show him what he wishes to see in the castle." "Lord Vader" Jeebot bagan "with all due respect, he killed some of the guards." Vader just stood there for six long seconds, his silence intimidating the attendant and the only thing that could be heard was Vader's mechanical breathing. Vader then took slow silent steps up to him. "Perhaps you are questioning my orders?" his voice showed no emotion, yet it still showed he was a threat. The Rodian gulped "My apologies, Lord Vader. I will do as you command." "Good." Vader turned to leave "I will contact my master now. See to it that our guest has our finest luxury." Jeebot led Hyagnus to his room, intimidated by the pony Sith lord the whole time. They soon arrived at a grey door, which slid open to reveal a room with black, whiney walls, a window overlooking Mustafar, and a bed in the corner. "I-i hope you enjoy your stay." Jeebot stuttered but Darth Hyagnus just ignored him as he walked into the room. "If you need anything we will attend." Jeebot said before leaving. The pony Sith lord silently walked over to the window observing the planet. He was gone for a thousand years, so much must have changed. What did Darth Vader mean by empire? Did the Sith Empire return again? And what of the Jedi? Minutes later, the door slid open to show an attendant "Lord Vader wishes to speak with you in the communication center." The attendant led the Sith to a room where Darth Vader was waiting and there was a hologram of an old deformed man in a black hood, who Hyagnus assumed was Vader's master. The attendant left as the doors closed leaving only the two With lords with the hologram. "Hyagnus, this is my master. The galaxy knows him as Emperor Sheeve Palpatine, but secretly he is the lord of the Sith, Darth Sidious." Darth Hyagnus bowed his head "I am honored." Darth Sidious held an emotionless expression "You are Darth Hyagnus. I see that you have been alive for the past thousand years." Hyagnus raised his head. "My apprentice tells me of a crystal that can contain power." Hyagnus nodded "Yes, Lord Sidious." "With this crystal we can destroy the Rebellion once and for all and crush anyone else who rises against us." Palpatine said. "Do you know anyone with a great power that we can combine with the force?" Hyagnus nodded "Yes. I know the right pony. Shall I summon her?" The Emperor nodded. And so, Hyagnus used whatever magic was left inside him to create a spell and send it across the universe to another being. He felt the power to through his head and his horn started glowing a black aura. The aura soon disappeared. "There, I've given my presence to the pony." "Good." Darth Sidious said "May I ask who this pony is?" Darth Hyagnus smiled evilly "Twilight Sparkle."
Chapter 2 SummoningIt was a peaceful morning in the land of Equestria as Princess Celestia's sun shined over then land. In the town of Ponyville was the Castle of Friendship, home of Princess Twilight Sparkle, Spike the dragon, and Starlight Glimmer. The sun's beams shined through the window of Twilight's bedroom as she laid in bed. She slowly opened her eyes to the morning sun as she sat up in her bed and yawned. It was only yesterday when they freed Stygian from the darkness, hopefully there won't be anything else that'll put Equestria in danger anytime soon. Suddenly, Twilight felt a strange feeling in her head. "Huh? W-what is it?" she asked herself. The feeling in her head was getting bigger, it felt like a presence, a far away presence. 'What? Who's contacting me?' she thought. She then closed her eyes to focus on the feeling. There was no one with her but it still felt as if it was sent by an offworld presence, but what? Then she winced as she felt a sharp pain in her head that lasted for only a few seconds and saw some kind of black aura. She knew what it was, dark magic. The alicorn princess'es eyes widened as she quickly ran out the door and over to Spike's room. Once she reached the room, Twilight slammed the door open. "Spike! Spike, wake up!" she ran over to Spike, shaking him from his sleep. The dragon's eyes opened and he had a look of irritation on his face. "Twilight, go back to sleep." "Spike, this is important." Twilight pleaded "I've felt a presence containing dark magic." Spike's eyes widened "What?!" "I need you to send a letter to our friends and the princesses." Spike wasted no time to grabbing a piece of paper and a quill. "Dear Princess Celestia" Twilight began as Spike began to write "I have urgent news, this morning I've felt a presence of dark magic. I don't know who it comes from, but I ask you and Star Swirl the bearded to come as soon as possible." Spike then engulfed the note in his fire breath as it turned into a puff of smoke headed for Canterlot. Twilight had Spike write notes for Applejack, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, and Fluttershy. Starlight was unavailable due to a visit with Sunburst in the Crystal Empire. Soon, everypony arrived with worry, they all met up in the throne room. "Twilight, you said you felt a presence of dark magic?" asked Celestia. Twilight slowly nodded "Afraid so, princess." "Are you certain?" Star Swirl asked. "Positive." "So, who was it?" Rainbow Dash asked. "I'm not sure, Rainbow. But whoever it is it must be somepony, or something, that is up to no good." Twilight tried to answer. "Do you know where it came from?" Star Swirl asked, Twilight shook her head. "No, it felt like it came from offworld." Twilight puzzled for a moment, then her face brightened "But I think I might know how to get to it's location." Her head turned towards Spike. "Spike, come with me." She and Spike then headed to a back door and a few moments later came out with a mirror. They set it in the center of the group. "We could use the mirror that took me and Spike to the human world." "So what yer sayin' is that this dark magic is comin' from the human world?" Applejack asked. Twilight shook her head "No, Applejack. But if I focuse on the presence again, I can create an aura around the mirror, changing it to take us to where it came from and once we go there we destroy it." "Well Twi, if yer going', I think you shouldn't do it alone." Applejack said, stepping up. Rainbow Dash flew next to Applejack "Hey, you two aren't gonna take all the glory on this. I'm coming too." Rarity stepped forward "I shall go where ever it is you go, Twilight." Pinkie Pie hoped forward "Yeah, plus I can't have fun without you guys." Fluttershy slightly stepped forward "Um...I'll go too." Spike stepped forward "We'll be right with you, Twi." "You all are very noble, I would love to come along but Equestria needs me." Princess Celestia smiled. "Yes, and I need to help my friends adjust to the new ways of Equestria." Star Swirl said. Twilight smiled "Thank's guys." she now faced the mirror, her horn lit up and an aura surrounded the mirror, she will change it back to the portal to the human world when they return. The aura soon disappeared. "Alright, everypony." Twilight levitated Spike on her back "Let's go." They all walked into the portal one at a time and they were all met with a swirling vortex. Fluttershy, Rarity, and Twilight screamed, Spike felt like he was gonna throw up, Pinkie Pie was happily yelling "Weeeeee!!", Applejack yelled "Woo nelly!!" and Rainbow Dash shouted "Aww yeah!!" After about a minute, they reached the end of the portal and landed in a field of grass. "Oh, can we please not do that again?" Fluttershy pleaded. Pinkie Pie was giggling on the ground "That was fun." "Hold it!" they heard a voice. All the ponies and dragon looked up to see some tall bipedal creatures in some kind of white armour and held in their hands objects they've never seen before. "Identify yourselves." Twilight stood up on all fours "I am Princess Twilight Sparkle. We are the elements of harmony, what's your name?" her tone was friendly. "You have no position in asking questions." said one of the creatures, this one wearing an orange pauldron. Rarity scoffed "How rude. You see here, she was only asking a question." she marched forward "I don't know who you think you are, but you have no right to talk to somepony like that." "Be quiet." the creature demanded as he turned his head to one of the other creatures "Take them back to base." "Yes sir." one of them said and walked towards the Equestrians, one of them put and cuffs on Twilight's hooves. "Hey, what are you doing?" Rainbow demanded as she dashed straight towards the creature, knocking him to the ground. A strange sound was then heard and a blue beam hit Rainbow Dash, electricuting her to unconsciousness. All the their eyes widened and stared angrily at the creatures "What did you do my friend?!" Twilight demanded. "She'll be alright" said one of the creatures "but we'll do worse if you don't come with us." he pointed his weapon at them. Twilight lowered her head "Allright, we surrender."
Chapter 3 Capture And RescueThe stormtroopers put cuffs on the ponies and dragon, and one of them carried Rainbow Dash over his shoulder. One of them pointed to a troop transport. "Get in." The Equestrians did as they were told and walked into the transport single file. When they all got in, one of the troopers just simply dropped the unconscious Rainbow onto the floor. Everypony and dragon gasped and gave the trooper a death glare. "Hey! Be careful with her!" Twilight yelled angrily. The Stormtroopers just ignored her as they all got into the transport. They then felt it move up and forward. The ponies and dragon were surprised by it, they thought that only blimps and hot air balloons can fly. After about twenty minutes, the transport landed and the ramp behind them slowly slid open. "Get moving." one of the stormtroopers ordered and they obliged as one of them carried Rainbow over his shoulder. Once they stepped out of the ship, they were in some kind of hanger. The walls were grey and the floor was black and shiny. Some TIE Fighters stood and some stormtroopers were walking in groups. They then noticed a man in a grey suit and hat with a badge with two red and blue lines on it approaching. "Trooper, what is this?" he asked the one with the orange pauldron. "Some creatures we found in the fields, one of the assaulted us." The officer eyes the ponies and dragon "Take them to the cells. I shall contact Lord Vader immediately." he turned to leave. "Move forward." one trooper ordered as they left to take them to their cells. "What do we do, Twilight?" Spike asked worriedly. Twilight looked back at Spike behind her "I don't know, Spike. But we will find a way to get out of here." The door to the communication room opened as Darth Vader stepped in. On a buttoned desk was a small hologram of an imperial commander. "What is it, Commander?" "Lord Vader, earlier stormtroopers captured seven creatures. One of them appeared to be a dragon and the rest...well..." he trailed off, unsure how to answer. "I have no interest in any animals being captured." Vader turned to leave. "But Lord Vader" the commander urged "these creatures are unlike any other." The Sith lord stopped in his tracks, could one of these creatures be the one that Hyagnus was supposed to summon? He turned back around, facing the hologram. "I'm listening." "Well you see Lord Vader, they..." The Commander tried to find an answer that didn't make him sound like a fool. "Speak now, Commander." Vader's voice held no emotion, but the man on the hologram knew there'd be consequences if he didn't answer. "W-well my lord, they walk on four legs, they have bright colored fur, one of them has both a horn and wings, and they have the ability to talk." that's it, it was over, he'd now be the laughing stock of the galaxy. "Which planet are you holding them on?" Darth Vader asked. The Commander was surprised, how did Vader believe him. He thought he'd probably just leave thinking he was crazy. He cleared his throat "W-well my lord, we currently have them on the Dantooine system." "I am heading there, immediately. Prepare for my arrival." Darth Vader said as he turned off the hologram and turned to one of his attendants "Bring Darth Hyagnus here." the attendant bowed and did as he was told. He soon came back with the pony Sith lord and left. "Darth Hyagnus, a commander from the Dantooine system has contacted me. He told me he is holding seven creatures prisoner, one of them having both a horn and wings." "That's her. Twilight Sparkle." Darth Vader then turned to one of his attendants "Prepare the Excecuter for my arrival immediately." The attendant bowed his head "Yes, my lord." The Commander stood surprised for a moment, Vader believed him? How on all the star systems in the galaxy could be have believed him? He shook the thought away and decided he'd ask him why when he arrives. For now, he has to prepare for his arrival. The suddenly, an imperial shuttle came into view from the sky and headed towards the base. The commander just remembered that they called for a resupply of food and amo for the base, that must've been it. The shuttle landed in the hangar after sending a clearance code and out came a browned haired imperial officer with two stormtroopers pushing crates floating a few inches above the ground. A stormtrooper approached them "Excuse me. What's in those crates?" "Nothing to worry about, just food and supplies." the officer answered. "We're going to need inspection." The officer stepped back and let them proceed. In the crate was definitely what the officer said was in there. "All right. You're clear for inspection." he turned to two other stormtroopers "You two, escort them to the storage room." The two stormtroopers did so and led them down a hall. He soon led them down an empty hall were a call block was on the right. The officers and two stormtroopers stopped in their tracks. The two troopers in front of them stopped walking and turned around. "Is something wrong?" one of them asked. And without warning, the officer quickly pulled his gun from his holster and blasted both the guards before they had time to react. The officer took off his hat "Not bad, eh?" The two stormtroopers took off their helmets, one of them being a young woman with brown hair and the other being a young man with blonde hair. "Good job, you're lucky no one heard that." the woman dead panned. "Well excuse me, your worshipfullness." the man said. "Han, Luke, see if you can hide the bodies." the woman said as she pulled out a white comm unit from her belt "Threepio, we are now in the facility. Has Artoo found the main power core?" "Why of course, Princess Leia." said someone on the other line "He says it should be in the next hallway on your left." "Good. Over and out." Leia turned off the comm and turned to Han. "Han, you and me to to the main power code and set up mines." "Got it, Princess." Han said as he knocked over one of the crates for all the food to fall out, what also fell out were a few cylinder shaped bombs. "Good thing we kept those underneath the stuff." Leia turned to Luke "Luke, get rid of those bodies in one of those call doors and meet us back in this hall." Luke nodded as he picked up one body by the feet and dragged it into the call block. He got to one of the doors and pushed the button and inside wasn't what he was expecting. Inside were a purple and green dragon and six four legged creatures with bright colored fur. The creatures and Luke locked eyes for what felt like an eternity until one of them noticed the body. "Oh my goodness!" yelled the white one with a purple mane. The yellow one with a pink mane gasped "Is he...is he..." Luke's eyes widened "You can talk?!" The blue one with the rainbow main was slowly getting up and running her head "What just happened?" she then noticed one of those creeps in the white armor and saw him holding a dead body. She reacted quickly and tackled him to the ground "Who are you?! And what'd you do to him?!" "Wait, wait!! I'm not gonna hurt you!" Luke tried to explain. "Then what were you doing with the dead body?!" Rainbow demanded. "Luke!" Han shouted as he ran down the hall "Luke, what's taking you so..." he trailed off when he saw the ponies and dragon. "Uh...hi?" Twilight said. Han's eyes widened but before he could say anything, stormtroopers came into the hall and saw the dead trooper and the prisoners escaping. Before they could react, Han shot one of them in the chest, killing him. All the troopers were quick to open fire as the two rebels, ponies, and dragon ran out of the hall. "Leia" She saw Luke and Han coming and as soon as she saw the creatures, her eyes widened and she then noticed the sormtroopers and opened fire on them as well. She then shot a control panel on the wall as soon as her friends and the creatures got out of the cell black and the doors closed on the troopers. "Come on. Now." Leia said as she and the others ran. "Wait a minute" Rainbow Dash said "who are you?" "No time to explain that, the whole base knows we're here and the longer we stay here, we die." Han said as they made a turn down a corridor. As they sprinted down the hall, Han spoke into a comm "Chewie, were getting outta here, get the Falcon ready." a growl was then heard on the other line. They then ran up to the doors that slid open to reveal the control room. The two men in there pulled out their blasters and fired. The rebels and Equestrians took cover at the wall corner. Twilight noticed most of the fire power was focused on the three humans, so she peeked her head out and fired two beams from her horn at the two men, knocking them out. They all then walked into the control room and saw the window overlooking the hangar. There were stormtroopers in the area. "That's a lot of stormtroopers." Han muttered. "How in the bay are we gonna get outta here?" Applejack asked. "Let's see." Luke said, he looked around the control room and saw the panel and an idea was planted in his head. He walked over to it, pushed his finger against the button and bent his head down to the mic. "Attention, there has been a crew of rebels spotted on the west side of the base, I need all units available, repeat all units." Many of the troopers quikly stormed (get it;)) out of the hangar and only a few were left. "Not bad, kid. There's only a few left." Han said as they headed for the exit door. They made their way down to the hangar to find some stormtroopers guarding the place. "Alright, it's only a few." He turned to the ponies and dragon "Alright, we gotta get past them." Rainbow Dash raised her eyebrow "We saw you with a dead guy, how do we know we can trust you?" "Because we're your only chance of getting out of here." Han said, he made a good point. "What do you think, Twilight?" Applejack asked her. Twilight thought for a moment "If they wanted us dead, they would've taken care of that by now." she then looked at Han, Leia, and Luke "Alright, we trust you." Han gave a nod "Good. Now, question is how do we get past them?" Twilight though for a moment and then noticed one of the crates "I think I might have an idea." her horn then shined purple as a purple aura lifted something from the crates and threw it far to the left, knocking down some crates in the process. "What was that?" one of the troopers said as they all went to go check it out. It was their chance now, the rebels and equestrians quickly and quietly sprinted over to the ship while the troopers were distracted. As they walked up the ramp of the ship, they heard doors slide open. "Hey!" one of the troopers yelled as they began to open fire. Once the rebels and equestrians were inside the shuttle Han quickly got to the controls. "Hold on everyone." he said as the shuttle was being lifted into the air and flew off. As it did, the commander stepped through the doors. "Have you dealt with the rebels?" A stormtrooper turned to him "No sir." "Blast it!" The commander yelled. Then suddenly an explosion was heard, sounded like it was coming from the main power core. Wasn't long until the station blew up.
Chapter 4 The Millennium FalconBOOM is the sound they heard as they were flying off in the shuttle, the ponies and dragon looked at the side window as the ship turned to see the imperial facility now blown up into flames. They were now having so much doubt over these humans, sure they saved them but they blew up a place, killing everyone inside. Twilight's face turned to a look of anger as she turned to Luke and Leia "Alright" she stepped off the bench they were sitting on "who are you and what do you plan to do to us? Explain." she demanded, getting in front of her friends to protect them. Leia and Luke were surprised by her outburst "Look, we just saved you." Luke argued, standing from his bench. "You may have saved us, but you destroyed that place, killing everyone inside. What is wrong with you?!" Twilight stood her ground as Rainbow Dash and Applejack stood with her, determined to protect Rarity, Spike, Pinkie Pie, and Fluttershy. Leia stood up, but remained calm "Because we're at war." "At war? With them? Why?" Leia took a deep breath and exhaled "Look, I understand that you are shocked that we killed those imperials, but you must understand why." There was no excuse for killing people, but Leia said that they were at war and the mane six and spike didn't know which side was good. Twilight looked at her friends with approval as they all nodded and looked at the two humans in front of her "Alright. Why are you at war?" "You see, the men that captured you were part of the Galactic Empire, the one government that rules the galaxy with corruption." Leia explained. "Um...how are they corrupt?" Fluttershy asked. "They made slavery legal, no one's allowed to join unless your human, and they force anyone who lives to serve." "That's...that's horrible, those filthy ruffians." Rarity spat. Leia nodded "You see, we are part of an army known as the Rebel Alliance, we wish to bring down the Empire and restore the Galactic Republic, the government that rules the galaxy fairly." she assured. "Wait? Galaxy?" Rainbow Dash asked then her face looked like she met Daring Doo "Does that mean your aliens?" "Well, that's what we call people who aren't humans but in your case yes." Luke answered. "Wow, that...is...awsome!!" Rainbow was excited. Pinkie then hoped towards them "Ooh...do you have flying saucers? Do you know any other aliens?" she then gave a long gasp "Is there a planet made of cotten candy?" "Pinkie" Twilight interupted "how is that important?" Pinkie then zoomed over to Twilight, standing on her two back legs and poking her chest with a serious face "Just think Twilight, a planet, an entire planet made out of soften candy." "Actually there isn't, sorry." Luke said, he didn't know what cotten candy was but he sure knew that there wasn't any planet anywhere in the galaxy, even in any outer rim territoreis, that was made out of it. Pinkie wore a look of disappointment "Oh shoot." Twilight wanted to cut the awkwardness and to to introductions. "Um...I'm Princess Twilight Sparkle." "I'm Rainbow Dash." she said with pride. "I'm um...Fluttershy." she bent her head down at her hooves. Applejack tipped her hat "I'm Applejack." "I'm Rarity." she said politely. Pinkie then jumped in front of the group "I'm Pinkie Pie." "An I'm Spike, Twilight's number one assistant." Spike said with pride, making Twilight and the others roll their eyes. "I'm Princess Leia Organa." "And I'm Luke Skywalker, the man flying the shuttle is Han Solo." Luke pointed to the door that led to the pilot seat. "Han Solo? Wow, that is the most coolest name ever." Rainbow complemented. "Hey, how did you guys blow that place up?" Spike asked. "We stole a map of the facility we broke into and had Artoo look at it, that's how we found the main power core." Luke explained. "Artoo?" Spike asked. "Yeah, a droid we have. You know, a robot." Luke explained. Pinkie gasped "A robot? You have a robot? Are their any party robots?" Luke looked at Pinkie awkwardly "Uh...no." Pinkie felt another wave of disappointment as Spike asked another question. "So Liea, what planet are you the princess of?" Spike asked. Leia looked a little saddened as a painful memory played through her mind. Applejack was the first to notice and had a look of concern for her, she was about to ask when they heard Han yell. "Alright everyone. We've arrived." they then felt the shuttle lowering to the ground. Once it landed, the door to the pilot controls opened as Han Solo walked out with the ramp opening, steam spraying. They walked out onto a grassy field and in front of them was a ship that the Equestrians never saw before. It was grey and had a circular shape with a round satellite dish on it. Rarity gagged "What in Celestia's name is that?" "Get used it it" Han glared "'cause that's my ship, the Millennium Falcon." Rarity realized her mistake "Oh, um my apologies." Han seemed to ignore the apology as the ramp opened as he walked in, followed by Luke, Leia, and the Equestrians. They walked through a short corridor to an open area with a communal space with a table in front of it and a relief pilot bunk. There were also two robots, one was a good bipedal robot and the other was shorter, on wheels, and was white and blue. "Ah, Masters Solo and Luke and Miss Leia, you've returned." he greeted. He then noticed the strange creatures "Oh, I didn't know that you were bringing animals in here." "Hey! We're not animals." Spike exclaimed. "Oh my, they appear to be inteeligent, how wonderful. Greeting, I am C-3PO, human cyborg rellations, and this is my counter part, R2D2." he introduced as R2D2 made some kind of beeping noises. Rarity smiled at his manners. "I am Rarity. I must say darling, I am impressed with your gold plating." "Why thank you miss Rarity." "Oh oh, does RD2D do parties?" Pinkie asked excitedly. "Of course not, he is programmed for flying a starfighter and so much more." C-3PO explained. "Oh, then can you do parties?" Pinkie was hopping in her spot with excitement. "Certainly not, I am programmed for educate and protocol. I can also speak over six million forms of communication." "Huh, well it looks like I'll have to do a little reprograming." Pinkie smiled evilly. "Excuse me?" C-3PO asked but before he could do anything, Pinkie suddenly appeared right behind him and simply took off the gold plating on the back of his head and started messing around with the buttons. "Stop that. Stop that immediately!" C-3PO panicked but there was no use. Pinkie flipped a switch that turned off his vision. "My eyesight! I cannot see. Artoo do something." R2D2's reply was only a few beeps. "What do you mean this is enjoyable to watch?" "Pinkie, get off him." Luke said. "Pinkie Pie, get down, that is extremely rude." Rarity demanded. "Oh alright." Pinkie then just simply jumped off Threepio's back after turning his vision back on. "Thank you very much." Threepio said sharply. "Your welcome." Pinkie smiled, like he was showing real gratitude. Suddenly a noise was heard, it sounded like a growl coming from a lion or a bear. They turned their heads to the corridor entrance to see a bipedal hairy creature. "M-m-m-monster!" Fluttershy cowered. Han rolled his eyes "Will you relax already?" he approached the hairy creature "He's not gonna hurt you. This is my co pilot, Chewbacca or Chewie for short." Chewbacca made some growling noises in response. "I know they look weird but it looks like we're stuck with them." Han replied as it looked like he understands him. The ponies and Spike seemed to calm down a little seeing that he wasn't a threat. "Chewie this is...uh I never got your names." Han said. Twilight stepped forward "I am Princess Twilight Sparkle" she then gestured to everypony "this is Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Fluttershy, Spike, Pinkie Pie, and Rarity." Chewie gurgled something in response. "Why does he talk like that?" Rainbow asked. "Because he's a Wookie, talking like that is how their supposed to speak." Han explained, he then turned to the corridor "Alright, I'm gonna change out of this stormtrooper armor and we're gonna fly out of here." "Why didn't we use the other ship?" Spike asked. "Because this is the fastest ship in the galaxy, made the cessel run in twelve parsects." Han explained as he left, followed by Luke and Leia. They were gonna take turnes changing in a room that only one could fit in.
Chapter 5 Story of The JediAs the Executor came out of hyperspace, the two Sith lords, Darth Vader and Darth Hyagnus, stood in the overbridge, the planet Dantooine just in front of them. "Perfect, Twilight Sparkle is within our grasp." said the shadow pony turned Sith "Soon, we will gain access to the Cosmic Crystal and crush anyone who will oppose us." "Yes, once we have it we will crush the Rebellion, and what remains of the Jedi." Darth Vader agreed. Personally he also thought this would be his chance to rule the galaxy with his son. Hyagnus smiled slightly at the fact that the Jedi were no more. He recently heard that twenty one years ago the Jedi order was destroyed and only few Jedi remained and soon whatever is left of their exsistence will be wiped out. Vader turned to an imperial commander "Prepare my shuttle." The commander bowed "Yes my lord." On Dantoine, Han, Luke, and Leia were now clad in their normal clothes. Luke now wore brown pants, black boots, a black shirt, a yellow jacket, and a belt carrying a holster with a blaster and a metal hilt with a rectangular shaped button on it. Han wore a white short sleeved shirt, a black sleevless jacket, dark blue pants with a holster, and black boots. Leia wore a long sleeved white shirt, white pants, white boots, and her hair was kept in two buns at the sides of her head. "Alright Chewie, get ready to take off." Han said as he sat down in the pilot seat in the cockpit, Chewbacca sitting in the co pilot seat. Chewie lightly growled in response as he and Han flipped various switches to get the ship ready to take off. Now that the engin was fired up, Han pulled a switch lifting the Falcon up in the air. Twilight and Spike walked into the cockpit and sat down in the two passenger seats behind the two pilots. "So why are we leaving this planet?" Spike asked. "We gotta head to the rebel base, there we'll see if there's a way to return you home." Han answered, not taking his eyes off the controls. They felt the ship lifting and moving upwards. Twilight and Spike looked at the window in front of them as they saw that they were getting closer and closer to the sky. They then noticed it fading dark and stars were coming up, the pony and dragon's eyes widened in amazement as they now saw that they were in space. "It's so beautiful." Twilight marvled. Spike too stared in amazement and then noticed something in the corner of his eye. He looked in the direction and saw three triangular shaped ships, two of them had a light grey color and one of them was way bigger than the other two and had a darker grey color. "Hey, there are other ships." Spike pointed out. Han and Chewie looked in the direction Spike was looking in. Han's eyes widened with worry "Chewie start the hyperdrive now." "What is it?" Twilight asked. "Those ships are imperial star destroyers." Twilight and Spike's eyes widened in horror "Oh no." "Don't worry, this ship can outrun them. Plus with our hyperdrive we can get out of here quickly." Han reassured as he and his co pilot were working on the controls. After a few seconds Han set his hand on a lever "Hold on." Once he pulled the lever back, they all felt being pulled back in their seats and saw the stars ahead of them quickly turn to blue lines as the ship flew out of there in the speed of light. As the imperial shuttle approached the planet the pilot pressed his finger against a comm button. "Imperial base, we are transmitting clearance codes, please stand by." A few minutes passed and no reply, things were getting suspicious. "Imperial base, we have transmitted clearance codes, are they valid?" no answer "Imperial base do you copy?" as they headed in the direction of the base, they saw a giant cloud of smoke. They headed over to it and all they saw was what was left of an imperial base in flames and pieces. As the shuttle landed, the pilot came over to Darth Vader and Darth Hyagnus in the passenger seats. "Sirs, the imperial base has been destroyed. We believe it was the crew aboard the correllian ship we saw earlier heading into lightspeed. Rebels maybe." Vader stood "Investigate the sight." The pilot bowed "Yes my lord." Meanwhile on the Millennium Falcon, Twilight and Spike could only stars are the blue vortex they were going through. "What's happening?" Twilight asked. "We're going through hyperspace, it's how we get to places faster." Han then flipped a small red switch then stood up "Alright, ship's on auto pilot. We should be good." In the interior of the Falcon, the rest of the group was as Luke put on a helmet with a shield over his eyes while some kind of white ball floated in front of him. "Hey Luke" Spike greeted "what're you doing?" "Training how to use my lightsaber." Luke answered as he pulled the hilt from his belt. Twilight raised her eyebrow "Lightsaber? What's that?" Luke took the helmet off and looked at the alicorn "It's a weapon that I use at times." he held the hilt in front of him in demonstration. Applejack raised her eyebrow "No offense sugarcube, but I don't see how that could be used as a weapon." "Ooh, maybe it shoots lasers." Pinkie suggested. Luke shook his head "No it doesn't. It's actually a sword type weapon." he then pressed the rectangular shaped button on the hilt and suddenly a plasma blade glowing blue ignited. The ponies and dragon stared at the lightsaber in amazement. Twilight's smile grew wider "Oh my gosh, I need to study the creation and history of this weapon." she beamed. Spike rolled his eyes "Oh great here we go." Han looked down at him "Is she always like this?" "Every time there's something interesting." Rarity stared in amazement "Oh my, I'm not fond of violence but that is the most beautiful weapon I've ever seen." "Beautiful? More like awesome!" Rainbow exclaimed. She then looked at Han, Leia, and Chewie. "Do you guys have lightsaber too?" Leia shook her head "I'm afraid not, Luke's the only one with a weapon like that." "Yeah, they're even hard to find." "Um...why are they hard to find?" Fluttershy asked. "Because only Jedi use them, and sadly there's not many Jedi left." Luke answered as he deactivated the lightsaber. "If I may ask, what are Jedi?" Rarity questioned. "You see, Jedi were the peace keepers for thousands of years." Luke explained "They've fought for peace and balance throughout the galaxy." Luke slightly lowered his head sadly "Sadly though, they were wiped out twenty one years ago." Fluttershy put a hoot over her mouth "Goodness, what happened?" Luke raised his head to look at the newcomers "Years ago when there was a republic, there was a group of separatists know as the Confederacy of Independent Systems who wanted to separate from the Republic, which caused the Clone Wars. So called because the Republic used an army of clones as a military." "Clones? Cloning exists in this universe?" Twilight asked, Skywalker nodded. Twilight rubbed her chin. "Interesting." "The Jedi served as generals in the war. At the end of the war the clones suddenly turned against the Jedi, they were labeled as traitors to the Republic." "Now why did the Republic lable them as traitors?" Applejack asked. "You see, it wasn't the Republic" Leia explained "it was Supreme Chancellor Palpatine. He said the Jedi attempted an assassination on his life to overthrow the Republic. My father, Bail Organa, knew the chancellor was lying because he knew the Jedi for years and they were always loyal to the Republic." Luke nodded "After that, he turned the Galactic Republic into the Galactic Empire, naming himself emperor. An army of clones then attacked the Jedi temple, being led by a Sith Lord named Darth Vader." his face the saddened "He then betrayed and murdered my father, Anakin Skywalker." The newcomers gasped. Fluttershy wasted no time in flying over to Luke and hugging him in comfort. "I'm so sorry about your father." Luke was surprised by the hut but accepted it as he awkwardly returned the hug. After a moment they broke the hug. "I wish to become a Jedi like my father and learn the ways of the force." "The force?" Spike asked. "Oh yeah, you see the force is an energy field created by all living things." Luke explained "It's what gives a Jedi his power. Once I learn the ways of the force and become a Jedi, I'll restore the Jedi order and bring balance to the force." Twilight walked towards him "Well Luke, I'm sure your father would be proud." the other Equestrians nodded in agreement as Luke felt appreciated. On the executer Darth Vader and Darth Hyagnus waited in the bridge, for earlier Vader called for an arrival for someone. "Are you certain this person will bring Twilight to us?" Hyagnus asked. "I am certain, he has been successful on many assignments." Vader answered. Soon an imperial commander came into the bridge. "My lords, he has arrived." The doors then slid open as an armoured figure walked in. "Darth Hyagnus, this is the famous bounty hunter Boba Fett."
Chapter 6 InteractionsAs the Millennium Falcon flown through hyperspace, the Mane Six and Spike thought they'd get to know their new friends. Luke had the white ball, known as a marksmen-h combat remote, float in front of him as he put on a helmet that had a blast shield covering his eyes and activated his lightsaber. "How the hay are you gonna train yer self if ya can't see what's in front of ya?" Applejack asked as she, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Twilight, Rarity, Han and R2D2 watched while C-3PO powered down. "I can't trust my eyesight, it'll trick me. I have to rely on the force to help me." Luke answered as he held the saber in front of him with two hands. The remote fired a yellow laser and to the newcomers' surprise, Luke quickly blocked it with his saber. The remote raised a little higher and fired down on Luke, he quickly raised the blade in front of his head blocking the laser. The remote turned to his left and fired as quickly turned and blocked the laser. The remote then went behind Luke and in a few intense seconds it fired, but Luke quickly spun around swinging the blade hitting the laser. "Wow, that was awesome!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed. Pinkie Pie bounced up. "Yeah, that was super duper fantastically amazing!" Luke took the helmet off after deactivating his lightsaber "Well, all I had to do was reach out to the force and let it this me." Solo shrugged "At first I thought it was just luck. Thought there was no such thing as the force at first, hate to say it but I was proven wrong judging by what I've seen the past two years." Meanwhile Spike and Chewbacca were currently sitting at a table, in the same room where the group was, playing a game on a circular board with a chess pattern with holograms of various monsters, known as Dejarik. The game was nothing like Spike had ever seen before, it was amazing right next to ogres and oubliettes. Spike pressed a button sending his rancor to kill Chewie's wampa. Chewie roared in anger at Spike. "Hey, don't have to get that angry." Spike retorted. Han noticed "You don't want to do that kid." Spike turned his head to Solo "Why? I get that he's upset but it's just a game." Spike proclaimed "Who cares if he's loosing, no one worries about upsetting me when I lose." Han leaned a little in his seat "That's because you don't tear peoples arms from their sockets whenever you lose." Spike's eyes widened as he looked at Chewie who leaned back in his seat with his arms crossed behind his head. "Wookies are known to do that." Han said. Spike swallowed nervously "Uh...I forfeit." Chewbacca chuckled. Rarity decided to look around the ship, to her it was far from perfect. "Look at this place, it has no sense of etiquette and it is down right disgusting." She decided that a little beauty sleep might take her mind off things, so she headed to the main hold were Han was. "Excuse me Mr. Solo, may I-" Han interrupted "Did you just cal me 'Mr. Solo'?" Rarity rolled her eyes "Han, may I borrow a room?" "Sure, it's the first door on the right in the corridor." Rarity smiled "Thanks darling." She went in the direction Han told her to go and she found a slide open door in front of her with a control panel right next to it which she assumed was for opening the door. She pushed her hoof against the button and the door slid open. "Perfect, now I can get some beauty sle-" Rarity cut herself and looked in shock and disgust at the sight she was seeing. The room was a mess. There were clothes on the floor and nothing was organized. Han came into the corridor and found Rarity "Found what your looking for?" Rarity turned her head to Han with an annoyed expression. "Hardly, this room a an absolute mess. How do you live on this ship without cleaning up after yourself? Oh and don't get me started on the ship itself, it's horrid. It looks like something pulled from the garbage and I don't know how your friends can handle it." Han's brows furrowed as he pointed an angry finger at Rarity "Now listen here, this ship is mine. I don't care what you think should be organized or not, because it's organized in my eyes and I don't need some upper class sweetheart telling me what she to do." Rarity's brows slowly furrowed "Sweetheart?" her blood started to boil "How dare you call me that?! I am no sweetheart, I should have you know that I am a successful fashonesta that has made dress designs from Ponyville to Canterlot you beast!" Outside of the corridore Applejack and Leia heard the arguing. "Wow, I got the feeling Rarity might get into an argument with Han here." Applejack commented. Leia nodded in agreement "Me too. I've gotten into many arguments with Han in the past." "So uh, how'd you meet Han and the others?" "Well, I've known Threepio and Artoo all my life since they were my father's droids. I first met Han, Chewbacca, and Luke when they rescued me from the Death Star." Applejack raised a questioning eyebrow "The Death Star?" "It's a battle station the Empire made. You see, I was once part of the Imperial Senate but me and my father were secretly working with the Rebellion. The Empire found out about my alliance with the Rebellion and so I was captured when they attempted to recover the Death Star plans we stole. I was held captive aboard the station where they tried to get me to tell them where the rebel base was." Leia then remembered the painful memories "They put me through torture." Applejack's eyes widened "Land sacks, is that what you were thinkin' about back on the shuttle?" "What do you mean?" "I noticed you were in a sad mood on the shuttle. Were ya thinkin' of what they did to ya?" Leia's expression saddened "No, something worse." she took a deep breath "The Death Star was made to spread fear through the galaxy, it had enough power to destroy an entire planet." her head lowered "They destroyed Alderaan, my home planet." Applejack gasped "Sweet Celestia, I'm so sorry 'bout that." Leia looked at Applejack "Thank you for your sympathy." Applejack's face shifted from sadness to anger "Why in the hay would they do that? All those people, what were they trying to gain?" "Fear." Leia answered "They were trying to gain fear from the galaxy so it would be unlikely for a rebellion." Applejack's brows furrowed lower "Those...those monsters." Leia put a hand on Applejack's shoulder getting her attention. "But don't worry because Alderaan's destruction didn't bring fear, it brought anger." she reassured "Destroying Alderaan proved to the galaxy how cruel the Empire was. Many systems turned against the Empire and announced their support for the Rebellion and many citizens joined our cause." Applejack smiled a little "That's great to hear. But weren't they a little worried this Death Star would destroy their planets too?" Leia shook her head "No, in twenty four hours after I was rescued the Empire found our base on Yavin 4 and the Death Star came to destroy it. We sent a fighter squadron to the station to destroy the station after we found a weakness. Luke was part of the attack, he fired a proton torpedo down an exhaust port which led to the main reacor, destroying the station." Applejack smiled proudly "Luke destroyed that thing? He must've been considered a hero." Leia nodded "He was. He not only inspired the Rebellion but he also spread hope to the galaxy, because destroying the Death Star proved the Empire wasn't invincible and it can be overthrown." Applejack had a sense of pried within her "So you gave the galaxy hope in defeatin' the Empire." "Yes, the Rebellion was built on hope." Applejack smiled at that, this Rebellion never lost hope. They always held on to hope. She couldn't leave this galaxy under the Empire's clutches, maybe she should stay.
