Star Wars: The Cosmic Crystal
Chapter 5 Story of The Jedi
Previous ChapterNext ChapterAs 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."
