Canterlot Castle, Third POV.

Another horrible day if you ask this question to a pony. Princess Celestia was in a war room, listen to the different reports who have arrived today. All of them talk about attacks on convoys but also towns now. Of what she heard, these creatures have helped the changelings to do new weapons, she tries everything to steal these weapons but they always disappeared, like if they are disintegrated. Shining Armor was here, and try to reorganize the Royal Guard.

"We need to have a better defense in the important cities. We can't protect all the towns of Equestria. Plus, a lot of guards are scared to protect convoys or little towns. The recruitment drops, a lot of civilians who wanted to join the Guard are scared too. We need to protect the big cities if they are taken, we will have problems in the future."

"I agree with Captain Armor. We need to protect important locations and regroup our forces. Princess Celestia, what do you think about that?"

"I don't know General Solar. If we let the towns down, our ponies will lose faith and a lot will die."

"It's a risk we need to take your majesty. We can't let these monsters take our major cities."

Celestia must make a choice but it's a difficult one. When she loses time and try to find an alternative, someone was in the room, hidden in the shadows. Maybe we have a chance to make her come back. My brothers and I must contact these 'creatures'. Their leader is maybe our only chance to bring her back.

At the same time, Mike POV.

What can I talk about right now? Well, the first thing is the Confederation has a bigger army: they were 4000 before but with all the soldiers of Myxine's and Calliphora's old army who join the Confederation army, they were 12000 now. Pretty big army but Equestria has a decent army too. The Equestrian army has at least 30000 soldiers but since Equestria is a big nation, its army can't protect everything. I have 2000 humans under my leadership. A lot of them come from the hives, it's humans of the two new hives who have joined the new nation or humans of the hives who have joined earlier and have heard of all the success of the pact between us and the changelings. Since we were at a good distance from the ponies, I order to expand the base out of the cave. So, some humans have started to build some houses where to live. Sleep in a cave it's not comfortable plus the cave was now for the military but if one day we are attacked, I made sure to build a room where the civilians can hide.

I was in my special room where I do experiments with or without the Force. This time I try to make something: 5 super battles droids. Back on Earth, I was good at programming and electronic stuff, so why not to make my super battle droids. What is special about these 5 droids? Well, I will make them my bodyguards like the White Watchers and the Red Guard but they will always be with me. Since I can use the Force's jump, I add propulsor on their back so they can always follow me. One of them will have the possibility to change one of his arms into a rocket launcher. I also make sure they have the best A.I possible. It was long, imagine yourself make sure every cable was at the right place, look if the program you put into the A.I was good, and a lot of other things. I decided to make one the commander of these five big guys. To recognize them, I add white lines on their chest and the leader has a white CIS symbol on 'the face'. I activate them and wait to see the results.

"Activation of B2 super battle droids

Program uploading 10%; 40%; 70%, 100%.

Program upload. Activation."

After that, the droids turn on and start moving. They walk toward me and stop, after that the commander talked to me.

"Waiting for voice recognition."

"Mandalore. Leader of the Mandalorians and the Imperial order."

"Voice recognition approved. Beginning of the program task." After that, the commander's A.I take the place of the security I place on them, so they don't follow someone else. They were more independent than a normal B2 droid so they speak more than the normal and sometimes can have conversations, I know it's strange but I love strange things. They were more performing than the normal B2 so wait to see how they can make a lot of damage.

"Nice to meet you, creator. Thank you to have created us, what do you want us to do?"

"Just follow your program, Proto."

"Proto?"

"This is your name, do you want to change it?"

"... No, I... like it."

"Very well then." I look at the other droids looking at me.

"And our names sir?" After one of them asks that I give each one of them a name: Bolt, Zero, Ranger, and Tech. I was excited, my B2 bodyguards. I like the Magna guards but I think the B2s are cool when they have bodyguards role, like the commando droids or Magna guards. I think they have a place in my top 5 of the best droids. I adjust somethings before we go outside. Today, I wanted to go to a special place: The Castle of the Two Sisters. Why? I sense something who come from it. I don't know what but I don't like it. It can be a test for my new droids, so we go out of the room and walk toward the cave's exit. When we walk before a soldier, he or she immediately looks at the droids, and I can say all of them were intrigued because they all follow us, even the leaders of the squads of troops or walkers notice us.

"What are these?" I turn around to see Connor and behind him the other leaders.

"My friends I want you to meet what I call this: droids. Droids have an A.I with a program I made myself, these five will be my personal droids bodyguards and I want to precise something, they will not replace the White Watchers and the Red Guard, it's just a little addition and they obey only at my orders. These five will be the only droids who will be my guards. They have a special A.I for that, so they are more performant than the original models I will order the engineers to make with the help of the second factory we build. Make sure to integrate the same thing we have in the weapons so they can be destroyed without the ponies try to scavage them."

"Where are you going?"

"At the Castle of the Two Sisters. I have sensed something that can be something very dangerous. So I take only the droids, I can repair them later if they are damaged. Plus, they have good weaponry so don't worry. Take the files who are in my room, and tell the engineers to start the droids production."

"Yes, Emperor. But please be careful. I don't like the idea of the Red Guard who is away from its leader."

"Don't worry. I will come back. Plus, I heard that scientists have discovered how to make bacta. Try to make some of it, so the soldiers who are burn from the last battles can heal themselves." After I say that, all the troops go back to their occupation. We have a second factory in construction as I said and yes, we have discovered how to make bacta. The scientists have found a liquid who has magic in it and when you mix it with some medicinal plants, it makes a liquid who has bacta's properties. A good improvement.

When the droids and I were outside, we saw all the houses and civilians who go bought something or troops who patrols the area. We have a lot of walkers compared to last time. Now we have 10 AT-ST and 30 AT-DP who were all under Kate's leadership. Some AT-DP patrols with some soldiers. It was good to see that, plus we were in the Confederation territory so we can always have help if there is a battle.

"Time to go."

"We follow you, sir. We are programmed for that after all."

"Indeed. Now, how long does it take to go to the old castle?"

"Since you give us a map in our programming, I think it will take a week." Chrysalis gives me a map of the world and I decided to integrate it in the A.I program. These B2s are awesome, maybe I will do special commando droids for myself. I want to precise, you see all the rocket jumper in battlefront 2 with their capacities to go on the left or right with their jetpack? I make the same thing for my B2s so they are agile if you can say that.

"Okay, we should start to go if we want to arrive in due time." After I say that, the six of us start to take the path who was indicted by the Force since I use it to guide us. Sometimes, I ask myself if I need to do this type of trip. It will be a long one.

At the same time, ??? POV.

I finally come back to our hiding place. I ask one of the guards to take me to the leader. After some time, we reached a room where our leader was. I knock at the door and heard an "enter". When I enter, I saw the leader and other ponies.

"What is it, my friend?"

"I have good news, the Princesses have problems with creatures who have attacked a lot of convoys and towns and liberate all the humans in it. This problem makes all the army protect the major cities or important locations."

"This is very good news indeed. Do you know what these creatures are?"

"I have a theory, plus one of these creatures who is the leader I think, have powers never seen before."

"Pray tell what is your theory?" One of the other ponies say.

"I think all these creatures are humans." I can see a shock on their faces.

"And what do you made you think this? All the humans are slaves and they don't have powers."

"Well, these creatures of what I've heard are sentient, but they are ally and friend with the channeling. And, I remember only one species who have changelings has a friend: humanity. And for the power, there is a prophecy who tells: 'one day, a human with powers never seen before will come to this world and liberate humanity and his allies from the Princesses and the other species'." The leader thinks about all I said and I think he knows I'm right.

"You're right, there is a possibility they are humans with all these good arguments you have."

"There is no 'I think', these creatures are humans." We all look to the pony the voice belongs to. It was a respected mare unicorn in the group she knows things everypony doesn't know.

"What's make you say that my dear?"

"There is a prophecy, who was said by the ancient leader of this group who says that one day, the human of the human's prophecy will make our glorious mistress come back. This creature is the human of our prophecy. We need to meet him."

"The problem is, he attacks all the ponies he can see. How can we make sure to have him help us?"

"We need to show him we are not like the other ponies."

"Very well then, prepare everything for the moment we meet him." We all nodded and go to make sure we can have the help of this human.

6 days later, Mike POV.

The 6 last days were not special, we just walk, take some sleep for me and do the same thing. One last day before we arrive at the castle. I think you will say I'm crazy but the droids and I became good friends since their A.I is more independent so they can have a personality. I made something special for these five guys, I do the same thing we made for the weapons if we want to disintegrate them but these droids have a plus: their A.I is transferred in another body when they are destroyed so they can always come back. I want to say, these droids will be the only ones with this type of A.I and A.I protection. Why? Because it takes time to do that so the others will be the same droids you can find in the clone wars series. Sure, all the droids will have the disintegration so don't worry about it. I don't like that, more we are close to the castle more I sense this power, this darkness but not the darkness of the Force but more like... magic's darkness. I think this magic belongs to someone and a powerful one. We continue to walk but something catches my attention: there was black smoke, and this smoke belongs to like something who burns to ash. It was hidden by the forest to see it but there was a hill so I make my way toward it. After that, I could see perfectly whats going on. A town was attacked. I didn't order an attack plus I know the Confederation doesn't want to fight for now because they want to improve their army with new weapons so they don't do an attack for now plus I don't hear the sounds of their rifles. So, what can do this?, I thought. I took my binoculars and try to see what's going on.

"Guards are dead, houses burn, civilians are scared. What can do this?" Proto came on my right and start to look at the town, I make they have the possibilities to have something like eagle eyes so they can see something very far away.

"I think I know what is it."

"What do you think?"

"First, the ones who have attacked this town don't have our technology or the changelings' one. So, we only have some candidates who can have done this: Griffins, minotaurs, caribou, zebras, yaks, or dragon. But it's none of them because they don't want to have problems with the Princesses plus the other species have problems within their kingdoms so they can't risk an attack."

"How do you know the other species have problems?"

"Remember when my security demand your voice recognition?" I nod, "It's making sure to let us know everything you have done and talk about with someone, it's our A.I who did that." Very interesting, I thought the A.I will be better than the normal A.I but not at that level.

"This is logic, so what can do this?" I can see Zero walking toward us in the corner of my eye. It seems important.

"Sir, we have spotted ponies who flee the town. They are guards and civilians."

"Thank you for this information. Prepare yourselves for your test if I can say that, we will kill them, we need to keep this information for ourselves for a long time. Try to keep one of them alive, we will have a little interrogation."

"Roger roger." After that, we walk toward the survivors and prepare an ambush. We waited for them to pass us, the road was surrounded by climbs who were fulfilled by a lot of trees. Before the fight, I try to find who is the leader of the group, so I can interrogate him/her. Thanks to one of the civilians to let me find easily.

"Captain, do you think we are following by these attackers?"

"Don't worry, we are too far away for them to find us." When I saw the captain of the guards, I use the Force to push him hard on a rock, and after that, he loses consciousness. I go out of my hiding place and start attacking the ponies. When I did that, the droids come behind them and start shooting. The ponies try to counter-attack but they were decimated. Two pegasuses try to flee, the B2s start to fire a barrage of beams toward them, one was hit and fall into the ground and die. The second one was hard to hit so two droids use their propulsors and chase him. I decided to watch, the hunt was quickly ended by Tech who stabilize himself with the propulsors and shoot two times and hit the last pegasus, killing him with the fall.

"Good job guys, I can tell your test is good. Now take the captain with us. We will question him he'll wake up." After I tell the orders, Ranger and Bolt take the captain by the two arms with one hand and train him to the ground.

Timeskip.

We made a camp so I can have a break and check if the droids were right, I know I'm crazy with that but it's my creation after all. We tied up the captain to make sure when he wakes up he doesn't try to escape, plus I cut his horn to make sure he can't use magic. After some minutes he finally wakes up.

"Where... where I'm I?" He looks up and saw the B2s who look at him with their weapons pointed to him.

"I can see you're awake." I walk toward him, and when he sees me, he was scared.

"It's you! The creature who attacked all these towns with the others! What do you want?! Eat me?!" I see that rumors and news have spread quickly.

"I don't eat ponies. What I want is pieces of information, we can do that the easy or hard way. Who attacks your town?"

"If you want to find them and ally them, I will never tell you! You monster!" I began to laugh.

"It's the most stupid thing I have heard. You call me a monster but the difference is I'm not the one who enslaved and chase a species. So you will listen to me. You are just a useless creature who enslaved another species but when someone attacks you, you call him a monster but you are the one who makes someone like me kills ponies because you enslaved my kind. So you will tell me or I will torture you. What's your choice?" I scared the shit out of him. You can see him tremble like a leaf.

"I-I-I w-will never t-tell you."

"You chose it." I start to use the Force to product lightning bolt with my hand and launch them at him. He started to scream, you can hear him say sometimes: 'please' or 'mercy'. I stopped and make him look at me.

"How much humans beg for mercy?! Did you give them mercy?! Look at you a slaver who begs for mercy but before it, he makes slaves hurt. So you give me the information I want or not!"

"T-the o-ones w-who a-attack us are p-ponies. It's a-all I-I know I swear!" Ponies? Interesting, why ponies will try to attack their kind.

"What happened to the slaves?!"

"They liberate and take them, and go to the East."

"Hmmm."

"My lord, what do we do?"

"We need to keep this information for ourselves. Kill him. His death will do some good for this planet." The prisoner looks at me with pleading eyes, I ignore it and look at Ranger and nod. After that, he kills the captain. We walk toward the East and try to find these ponies.

??? POV

The plan worked perfectly. The human knows what we are and what we did. I need to inform the leader. Soon, our mistress will come back to us. And after that, we will destroy Celestian and the Elements.

Some minutes later, Mike POV.

"I can say you were very angry my friend." You think? Anyways, I'm not here to blame you, you're a Gray Mandalorian so I will not tell you to stop to be angry." I see. So why are you here? Dark is here? "Yup. Always here, I can say you don't bore me my friend. The look on the pony's face was fantastic." Now to answer your question. We are here to warn you about this darkness you sense. Don't underestimate it, it matches the powers of the Sun Princess and has the same abilities the Moon Princess has." I think I know who you are talking about. If I need to fight, then I will do it. "Good luck kiddo. You will need it." Thanks. Wait... did you just call me kiddo? "Of course." Well... I don't mind. "Good to hear. See ya later."

After he says that, the two of them go... somewhere else in my mind, I think? Anyways, we walk for a good time now, and there was nothing. I thought the guard lie to me until I saw something. It looks like the Moon with a pony. Maybe the cult's symbol? My thoughts were interrupted when I heard a bush make a sound as if someone was in it and move. The droids pointed their weapons toward it but another bush at the left makes a sound, two droids turn to it. I know someone was watching us, but who? A lot of bushes start to make the same sound, we were surrounded and I think I know who does that. After sometimes, the sounds stop, suddenly a pony go out of her bush and charge at me. The droids start to shoot at her, she was very agile so it was hard to hit her. I decided to use the Force and immobilize her. The B2s start to surround us in a circle and keep watching if another pony tries to attack.

"I will only ask this question one time. Why did you attack me?"

"I thought you were a guard who following us after our attack. Now I think about it, how did I not see you weren't a pony?"

"I don't know but what tells me you are not lying?"

"I can lead you to our leader. It's a part of the plan after all." I look at the symbol she has on one of her arms and saw it was the same as the one I saw earlier.

"So, you're part of her cult." She looks at me with shock in her eyes.

"How did you know?"

"The symbol."

"Oh, right."

"Can you please tell the other to go out because I don't like it when I don't know if I can talk freely without being spied on."

"You should listen to him guys. Come here." I saw five other ponies coming out of their hiding places. After that, the unicorn tells me to follow her, before that I stopped to immobilize her and start to follow with the droids. The other ponies surrounded us. I ask the unicorn her name, she called Stars Whirl. After sometimes, we finally arrived at the hiding place of the cult which the name was: The Disciples of the Night. Stars Whirl immediately guides to the leader, when I pass ponies with the droids, they look at us as if we were some intruders. We enter the room, there were a lot of ponies.

"Stars Whirl, I'm happy to see you. Sorry for asking but what is this?"

"I don't know, I find them when I came back here, I thought he was a guard who follows us. So, I attacked him but he stops me with a power I never see before."

"So it's him. The one the human's prophecy and our prophecy talk about. It's an honor to finally meet you." We all turn to the pony the voice belongs to. She was a unicorn, I can sense how she was powerful. Not powerful like Twilight but unless she was strong. Maybe because she was a little old.

"You have a prophecy as well?"

"Yes, our prophecy talks about the human who will liberate humanity. It says that the human who will liberate his species will make our queen come back from the shadows. All the things you see, the town's attack, for example, was a plan to make you understand we are not like the other ponies."

"What about the slaves?"

"They are in a room where they wait to have a room where to live."

"I see. Well, I can say I can trust you but I need to ask, why do you help humanity? From what I heard, the ponies enslaved humans."

"A good question indeed. To answer you, my friend, when our queen decided to bring the eternal night and give glory to the Moon, some humans who succeed to escape their master decided to help the mistress of the night. In the beginning, she didn't trust the humans but one day, they saved her and a lot of her generals from an attack lead by Celestia. From this very moment, the mistress and the Thestrals ponies began to respect humanity and give them rights. Humans were not seen as slaves but as a species like the other." I was... happy. To know one of the most powerful antagonists of Equestria was someone who has helps humans and sees them for who they are and not what they are.

"I'm happy to hear that. Now, I think I need to inform you why I come here?" They all nod.

"Well, back at my base, I sense something coming from the Castle of the Two Sisters," They start to look at me with a serious expression. It seems they know what I will talk about, my theory, "What I sense is darkness but not the darkness who want to destroy the world. These darkness wants to be loved, they have pain in them."

"Do you mean?"

"Yes, this darkness belongs to her... Nightmare Moon, your queen." This revelation shocked them, it looks like they don't sense it. Why? I don't know. The unicorn from earlier decided to talk again.

"I think I know why we didn't sense it," everyone looks at her, "It's because only one being could sense it: the human from the prophecy. You just prove you were the human we waited. Even if your powers were enough to prove it, this new is always good to hear to prove you're the one we waited for so long." All the ponies look at me with a smile on their faces. So, they have their prophecy and I'm the only one who can make Nightmare Moon come back, with a body if I want to be specific.

"You said you sense our mistress inside the old castle but how?"

"Her magic, I can sense how powerful the magic of someone is. After all, it's one of my powers."

"So we need to go to the castle and make her come back? That easy."

"Impressive, all what you just say is wrong."

"How so?"

"Reanimate someone is impossible with magic. You can with the Force but it's extremely hard: you need to go what looks like an old memory and make something to make her come back, it looks easy but in reality, it's very hard."

"I see your point. We need to go to the castle immediately. Our attack will be in the news in at least some hours." We all nod and prepare ourselves to go to the castle. Everyone in the cult: ponies and humans were coming with us because all the cultists were coming and humans need protection. What a day! I never make someone come back from the 'deads'. What scares me is how Nightmare Moon will react in her memory and reality.

1 day later.

We finally arrive at the castle, even if it's just ruined now, the inside has always a certain charm. I go toward the room where I sense the magic. It was a hall, a big one. There was something in the middle of the hall: it looks like magic who was everywhere. The question is: how I will make her come back?

"We can help you. We will use our magic to make something where you can go and make our queen come back." I nod and all the unicorns start to use their magic. All the magic who belongs to Nightmare Moon was used to form an orb. I know what I needed to do: go inside of it.

"Proto, you and the other stay here with them and protect them if anything happens."

"Roger roger."

"We will help you my friend." "Don't worry kid, we have your back." Thank you my friends and allies, may the Force be with me. I walk into the orb and everything changes.

Nightmare Moon memories, Mike POV.

Finally, after this whole week, I'm standing here in the memory of the mare in the Moon. I was in the same castle but when Celestia and Luna were here before Canterlot. It was magnific, the walls, the rooms, everything. My thoughts were interrupted by something, a fight. I look at the window to see Celestia and Nightmare Moon fighting, the Moon eclipsing the Sun. After sometimes, Nightmare Moon maker Celestia fall in the room I was: where the Elements were. I saw the Queen of the Night charging toward Celestia, who looks at the Elements and use them, banishing her sister. Celestia was on the ground, broken from her decision and what she did. Tears were everywhere on her face, I will lie if I said I was not sad for her, why? Because it remember me of my father and his death.

Suddenly, everything around me changes. I was... on the Moon! It was awesome, you can see all Equus from here. Again, my thoughts were interrupted by crying sounds. I follow these sounds to face her, the mare in the Moon, the Queen of the Night. I walk toward her and she looks at me, there was something in her eyes, pain, hatred, anger, distress. What she does after was an unwelcomed surprise.

"It's your fault. Everything that happened is your fault!!" She attacks me with her magic, I dodge to my left and use the Force to push her away. Why did she attack me? "She see you as the one who did all of this. It happens every time you try to make someone come back to your world." "Prepare yourself kid! Here she comes." I look where I push Nightmare Moon to see her charge at me with a sword. I was too late so she hit me in the arm. I groan in frustration and pain.

I take my Beskad since I don't know what happens if I kill her in her memory. We clash our swords and at the same time, we used our powers. I use the Force to make the lightning bolts and at the same time, she uses her magic to make a 'lunar ray' as I call it. (Immagine a dark blue laser thing like a Kamehameha if you want.)

After some times of hard battle, I finally found a weakness in her defense. I use one of my fists to punch her in the stomach and use the Force to push her into a rock. I charge at her but she uses her magic to push me away. She stand up and walk toward me, I let her think she won to finally use my lightning bolts on her. It pushes her away at the same time. You could hear her scream of pain, I didn't like it compared to the guards I day ago. When I saw she couldn't fight anymore I stopped. I walk toward her.

"You are happy now?! First, you ruin my life and now you'll kill," She started to tear up, "W-what have I done to you?! All I wanted, it's my subject to love my night, nothing more." What I do surprised her, I hug her in a tight embrace.

"I know you wanted your night to be loved, in my case I always love the night and its sky."

"Why are you so kind? Why ruin my life and after that be sweet with me?!"

"I know it's confusing but I never ruin your life Queen of the Night. All of this is just an old memory of yours. I'm here to bring you back to the real world. After all, it's what the prophecy of your cult says."

"All of this is a memory? But how did you come here?"

"Your cult help me with the creation of an orb by the use of your magic."

"Who and what are you?" I take my helmet off to let her see my face, she was shocked but at the same time happy.

"As you can see I'm a human. You can call me Mike but when we are in public call me Mandalore."

"You are the one all the prophecies in the world talk about: the one who will liberate humanity, who will make me come back, who will help and unite the channeling, and so much more." I can see a smile on her face, it makes me happy. Nightmare Moon was one of my favorites characters back on Earth when I watched the show. I held a hand for her and she takes it. At the same time, everything around us disappeared. "You did it. You are not anyone." "You are the Gray One, my friend. Remember we are always with you." After that, everything changes back to where the orb was when it disappeared, I know we were back to the real world.

Real world, Mike POV.

Nightmare Moon and I were in the middle of the hall. When we open our eyes, we heard gaps at the same time. We turn around to see all the cultists with joy in their eyes. They all bow before Nightmare Moon.

"Rise, my loyal subjects." They all rise and the leader of the cult walk before the alicorn.

"Your highness, it's an honor to finally meet you. My name is Moon star, leader of the Disciples of the Night."

"I'm happy to see you all. Thanks to you and Mandalore here I finally came back to this world." They continue to talk for a long time, a lot of cultists cheer In the name of their queen. But for me, I didn't feel too good, slowly darkness began to claim my eyes and I sense my body falling on the ground. I saw the droids who come to me to see if I was alright and to protect me. Soon after that, Nightmare Moon and all the other ponies and humans saw me and rush at my side. The alicorn was next to me, I can see her worried expression, I smile at her and try to say everything was alright. It seems she heard it because she was less nervous and have a little smile. Soon, the darkness claims my eyes and I lost consciousness.

Canterlot.

Everything was good at Canterlot but suddenly, you can hear a scream of pain and distress in all the city, the castle more precisely. Princess Luna was the one to scream. Her sister and the main six who were at Canterlot by the demand of Celestia, awaken by the scream teleport to the Princess with a worried expression.

"Luna! What happened?!" The Princess of the night look at her sister, tears in her eyes.

"She has returned."

"Who has returned sister? Tell me."

"Nightmare Moon and she's not alone." All the mare in the room were shocked and scared by this revelation. Shocked because Nightmare Moon has returned and scared because a mysterious enemy was with her.

Author's Note

Hello guys. I think you all knew who Mike will meet in this chapter cause of the titles. I hope you enjoyed this chapter with the droids who are here and a new ally for our little Mandalorian. See you soon and don't hesitate to tell me what you think can be improved.
