Duel of The Fates: Friendship Unleashedby An_Obsessed_FanChaptersThe CouncilThe First MissionA New EnemyPreparationThe 1st phasePrologueThe DazzlingsThe DisturbancePhase 2The CouncilSunset woke up in her bed, she looked around as her eyes adjusted and she got up. The door opened and she had to squint at the light before slowly walking out and making her way through the halls of the jedi temple. The familiar elaborate designs of the carpet and banners comforted her, the previous events had been very confusing but the Council of friendship would have answers they almost always did . . almost. When the door to the councils chambers slid open they all turned to her. Sunset walked to the middle of the room and addressed the council members. "You all saw what I did, Somehow Master Sparkle has fallen to the darkside and escaped. I know it may not be my place to ask but I would like to search for her." "I don't think thats a good Idea Sunset," Applejack replied. "Neither do I, we should be very careful, the dark side is shrouded in mystery," Fluttershy added. "Well I could go and watch over Sunset, we could search for clues," Pinkie pie exclaimed. "I suppose, but I'm still worried," Applejack said. "I could monitor their progress, but if you find anything you will report back to us," Rainbow Dash told them. "Great lets go, we can take my ship," Pinkie said pulling Sunset out of the room. "I hope this was a good choice," Rarity told Somewhere: "Did you sense that," "Yes" "Do you think she will come?" "If it is the will of the force," "And if its not," "Then I will send her to retrieve the girl, have patience sister everything proceeds as I have designed." Author's Note Mystery characters The First MissionThe wind rustled through Flash's hair as he sat meditating, he smelled the saltiness from the ocean beneath the cliff he sat atop. There had been a tremor in the force recently and his training told him that to feel the force would give the answers he seeks. His chest rose and fell with his breathing as he focused his mind on what he wanted to know, the texture and hardness of the rock and the wind on his face faded from his senses, but were still felt through the force. He followed the leftovers of the tremor like a trail, every so often he would get stuck but the chase resumed. On his way, Flash could faintly sense Twilight, she must be investigating it too, he thought. The attempts to reach out to her were met with feelings of unease and coldness. He stopped when he reached to end of the trail, but Flash was surprised when he realized it led, behind him. Flash Leaped off the rock and flipped backward grabbing his lightsaber from his belt, and the moment he hit the ground a crimson blade met the blue of his. He let his opponent drive him back with their attacks as he gathered his bearings, the last time he had seen a Sith was, Sunset Shimmer. The questions running through his head kept his focus divided long enough for the Sith to kick him back into one of the few trees on the hill. "Sunset, stop this, What happened to Twilight?" Flash Growled. To his own surprise it was becoming increasingly difficult to keep his own anger in check as his former comrade ignored his question and the fact that sunset doing this meant that Twilight had failed didn't help. "You had feelings for Twilight? She had feelings for you, did you know that? I enjoyed watching her struggle as I destroyed her." The cloaked figure taunted, "Aw, what's wrong flash, you never got angry back when we trained together." "You killed Twilight, I'll give myself an acceptation." Flash replied as his anger flared. Flash summoned a large force blast that sent his opponent back and their cloak was knocked off, revealing Twilight in a dark cloth outfit covering all of her body except her head and . Flash stumbled back in his surprise and lowered his guard. "Twilight?" He said. Twilight charges at him and swings at him furiously and Flash blocks every blow. "What happened, let me help you." Flash exclaimed. "I don't need help, I will soon have more power than you or any of the other Jedi." Twilight replied. "You said you had feelings for me?" Flash questioned. "I did, but I was as weak as you are," Twilight told him. Flash and Twilight battled all the way down the hill and to the docks at its base. The dock workers ran from the two as their blades sparked in the air and slashed through rocks and handrails on the platform that led to the floating dock. They could hear footsteps on the dock's second level as they continued their fight. Flash's strong defensive strokes and Twilight's aggressive unfocussed strikes. Flash jumped onto a boat on the side of the dock and onto the upper level to escape the barrels and boxes Twilight hurled at him, and she quickly followed, and as they did their sabers cut into the support beams that held it up. Flash and Twilight stumbled at the twisty and turny deck. The momentum tosses them off their feet and they try to hang on. Flash's lightsaber drops into the raging water below. Twilight Grabs her second lightsaber with a purple blade and slashes at Flash. Flash yells in pain and falls, desperately trying to hold onto the edge and grunts with effort. Twilight grunted and used the force to push off the deck, landing on a nearby control panel and slashing it. Flash and twilight fall as the dock becomes completely unstable and the dock workers watch from the land as the structure is slowly engulfed by the water. Later: Twilight crawls onto the beach coughing up water and reattaches her lightsabers to her belt. A New EnemyTwilight Reached her ship on the docking platform of the planet. The platform was one of many stretching over the water, the land was scarce, it was a small spot of grass, dirt and rock, while ocean surrounded it as far as twilight could see on every side except for little dots of land in the distance each as small as the one she was on. She pressed a button on her belt and the ramp of her shuttle opened, as she was walking up to the cockpit a figure sat up from the pilots seat and faced Twilight. "Hello old friend," the figure said. "I don't know who you are," Twilight replied. "You don't know, or you don't want to know, I know what has become of you," They said. "I have become more powerful than you," Twilight responded. "I have come to warn you that I am watching you, do you know what that means," "Yes," Twilight said. The figure put their hand on Twilights shoulder and clipped something onto Twilights belt, "Your friend miss you," was all they said before walking to the ramp. "They mean nothing to me," Twilight exclaimed "If that were true you would have tried to destroy me," Twilight sensed that they had gone, and angrily sat in the pilots seat and pulled the holoprojector the person gave her from her belt. She thought about crushing it, but after sighing she put it on the dashboard and activated it. It was her friends they were sending her a message that they were coming to find her, they missed her. Twilight growled, she looked at her palm and watched as tears dripped from her now purple eyes onto her hand. She closed her eyes and violently closed her fingers around her palm and the holoprojector shorted out before sparking and falling apart. Her co-pilot, Captain Wallflower woke up and yelped at Twilight's sudden presence. "What happened," Twilight asked. "Um, I don't know I heard the ramp open and suddenly I was out and now, well you're here." Wallflower said in almost a whisper. "Take off, set the coordinates for home," Twilight commanded. "Yes, Ma'am," Wallflower exclaimed. The shuttle began hovering over the ground and slowly ascended into the air while wallflower was typing into her data pad and pressing buttons all around her. Upon reaching the atmosphere Wallflower grabbed a lever. "Going into hyper space in three, two, one." Wallflower pulled the lever and the stars became streaks and with a burst of speed they were gone. Twilight walked through the hissing doors and knelt before her masters. She hated that, she hated that with all her power she was kneeling before another, and what she hated more was that they could defeat her, even with all she had they were better at using the powers of the dark side they all shared. "What is it," Adagio asked. "I defeated Flash, he is at the bottom of a sea now." Twilight announced. "Good," Adagio said, but after moments of silence she continued, " I sense you have more to share," Twilight hesitated, "She was there," "Who," Adagio asked. "The Princess," Twilight spat. Twilight continued, "She said my friends were searching for me," "No, not friends, obstacles, inconveniences, Miss Sparkle I think we have found you next test, you are to Destroy the Council of Harmony. We will handle the Princess." "But I have passed a test, I am ready to ascend," Twilight said. Adagio shot force lightning at Twilight and yelled, "NO, you have destroyed a boy, you must face masters, only then will you be ready." Twilight stood. "Do you have a problem Sparkle," Adagio growled. Through her teeth Twilight said ,"No master." Twilight stormed through the downtrodden metal hallway. She was furious the metal panels on the walls crumpled as she walked past them and the wires sparked and lights flickered as they were touched by the dark force energy. She would show the three sith that she was better than them, because she knew the council just as she knew the best way to destroy someone was through hate, if she could make people hate them, they would fall apart and then when they were at their lowest moment, she would have her chance, she would earn the title of Darth. PreparationTwilight sat in her bunk on her shuttle meditating. "What is it," she growled. "How did you know I was there?" Captain Wallflower asked. "Never mind, I came to aske about our mission," she continued. "Our mission is to tear the Council of Friendship apart," Twilight exclaimed. "Oh, well I may be able to help," Wallflower said. "How could you help me?" Twilight asked. "Well I . . happen to know where a certain powerful artifact is," Wallflower answered. "How powerful," Twilight questioned. "Like, can make you forget anything you want, powerful," the Captain said uncertain of if this was a good idea. "Oh, I see set the course then," Twilight said before using the force to close the door. Twilight stepped off of the shuttle's ramp onto the seemingly endless blanket of green grass and ferns. A small yellow and white R3 model astromech droid rolled down following her while projecting a holomap of the planet. The spot they were looking for was just over a hill and through a small portion of a forest. Twilight sprinted off with a burst of Force speed past the hill and R3-35 beeped and whistled a complaint as it activated its thrusters. The blur that was Twilight kicked up dirt as she came to a sudden stop in front of the forest. She walked through the edge of the forest, full of trees as wide as a Wookie. Twilight's eyes darted from left to right and she walked quickly. There were creatures in here with her, suddenly she lifted her hand and twitched her fingers causing a tree next to her to splinter and crack. Twilight pulled it down with the force and after almost a second of resistance it fell onto a creature behind her. Twilight took a device from her belt and poked the scaly dog like creature. "R3, analyse this blood sample?" Twilight commanded R4 gave a long deep whistle, probably a groan of annoyance at another one of Twilights science collections. Twilight continued walking until she reached "the small pond surrounded by yellow flowers." The light from the opening in the trees above the pond reflected off the water and created a glimmering effect that R3 seemed to be admiring. R3 pointed a mechanical joint at a spot that was just on the edge of the pond. Twilight reached out with the force and pulled the object free from the dirt. Once it made contact with her hand she was hit by memories of her friends, no not friends they were her enemies now. She saw saw memories of fun and calm moments, even sad ones too. Twilight willed herself to wake up seeing R3 there standing in front of her. "What?" she asked. The only response she got was an astromech's equivalent of a shrug before it activated its thrusters and flew off. "Did you get it?" Wallflower asked. "Yes," Twilight answered. "So what now?" Wallflower asked preparing the shuttle. "Set course for Coruscant and tell R3 to go through the usual procedure with the sample I collected," Twilight said heading for her quarters. Author's Note Thank you for reading :) constructive criticism is welcome. I want to make the next chapter longer. The 1st phaseTwilight pulled her hood farther over her head as she exited the alley into the bustling streets of the Republic core world. Her eyes were closed and the sounds, shut out as she made her way through the crowd with the force guiding her path. Captain Wallflower follows closely behind trying frantically not to get lost in the crowd. Twilight steps onto the back row seat of a hover taxi and when her companion sets down next to her the vehicle takes off. “How are we going to do this? We can’t just take on the entire council of friendship by ourselves.” Wallflower whispered. Twilight’s explanation came in a low monotone voice, “just find us a getaway ship with Republic credentials, I’ve taken care of the rest.” Wallflower studies Twilight, the knot in her stomach didn’t do anything to remedy her skepticism but Twilight had gotten this far. If Twilight was as powerful as the Dazzlings claimed them maybe she could hold her own. She sighs and closes her eyes. In the Jedi temple Sunset Shimmer meditates. Her chamber is dark and her steady breathing is all that can be heard. For the eighth time in the month she reaches out in the force, she calls for twilight. There is something there but there is darkness covering it. She feels a smile tug at the edge of her lip, the dark side no longer feels familiar though the connection is still present. It’s more like an old acquaintance. Sunset takes a deeper breath as she refocuses. She tries to break through the veil that has corrupted this spot in the force. Pinkie Pie offered her the advice of offering it a connection as if she were offering someone friendship and as Sunset began to test this idea she did indeed make a connection. She felt the magic of what she was searching for her eyes snapped open. The council of friendship sat in their chambers meditating. Group meditation was a common practice in the order as it was believed to be a bonding activity to bring harmony to the self. They were all completely still except Pinkie who always tapped her fingers when meditating. Suddenly they opened their eyes in unison as Sunset burst through the door and exclaimed, “She’s on the planet!” “Hello Mandalorian, you’re late,”Twilight told the blue armored warrior. “I just wanted to make sure you valued me enough to wait,” Tricia said as she brushed her palm over her holster. “I value you only as much as your skills will get me,” Twilight replied. “”Well I value you only as much as you’ll pay me so let’s get down to business,” Trixie replied. “What if I offered you power instead of money,” Twilight continued. Trixie smirked under her helmet, “you have my attention.” Twilight unclipped a box from her utility belt and held it up for Trixie. Unknown to either of them a figure watched from the shadows. Author's Note Thank you for reading :) PrologueSunset Shimmer walked through the dark hallway of the temple, coming upon a symbol. A sith holocron, she felt the darkside radiate off of it, though only a fraction of what she had felt from the real thing. She reached out to it causing it to reach back. She saw flashbacks of herself, the piercing yellow eyes of a sith and anger radiating like a whirlwind. She remembered the power it gave her, the power she had craved and to be honest she still did. Before she could see much she was pushed back, when she opened her eyes Rarity had parried her blade away from the symbol on the wall and she glared at Sunset. She quickly deactivated her saber, deciding it was better to stay behind Rarity and follow so she didn't get sidetracked again. They kept moving and eventually came to a large room with an altar on the opposite side and a figure meditating. Sunset shivered as she felt the all to familiar chill of the dark side, but something was wrong, they she had never sensed as much force energy from a sith. Rarity's eyes set on Sunset who had stepped back slightly. Rarity gently grabbed Sunsets hand and Sunset's head twitched to face Rarity, who gave her a reassuring nod. The figure stood and as they did the cloak they were wearing dropped. Sunset almost dropped her lightsaber hilt as she stumbled back farther and Rarity's eyes widened in shock at the sight of Master Twilight Sparkle who met both their eyes and smirked. She grabbed a twisted lightsaber hilt from her belt and ignited a crimson blade. Both Jedi drew their lightsabers in response and in a flash of red, Twilight sprinted toward them and locked blades with Sunset using wide powerful strokes to redirect their attacks. Twilight knocked Sunsets lightsaber from her hands and attempted to slash at her but sunset used the force to launch herself into the air calling her saber back to her hand and rejoining the duel. In the moments that Sunset wasn't fighting Twilight overpowered Rarity and Sunset shouted with anger as Rarity dropped to the floor. Outside of the temple Rainbow Dash, AppleJack, Fluttershy began entering the temple. They slowly walked through the hallway examining the symbols. The more they walk into the temple the more concerned they become. Rainbow Dash stops the group and they hear the faint sound of clashing lightsabers. Before anyone can stop her Rainbow Dash runs toward the sound igniting her own dual bladed saber, Applejack and Fluttershy quickly follow to back up their friend. When they arrive at the altar room Applejack rushes in to aid Sunset and Rainbow while Fluttershy goes to check on Rarity. Twilight grows a grin as Sunset begins to tire out and she prepares the finishing blow, but before it can be dealt her lightsaber is blocked by a new combatant. Twilight scowls at them and uses the force to create a massive shockwave pushing all of them back before taking advantage of scars in the ceiling to bring down the ceiling. The Jedi attempt to escape but the way is blocked by falling debris they have no choice but to try to use the force to shield themselves as their screams are masked by the sound of rock hitting the floor. Rarity opens her eyes to darkness and coughs from the dust surrounding her. She realizes that Sunset is still with her and Rainbow, AJ, and Fluttershy are there too. Fluttershy stops Rarity from sitting up because she is hurt and she could hit her head on the rocks above them. She looks around to see Sunset using the force to hold the rocks, Rarity put a hand on her shoulder and Sunsets head turned. Rarity could see her eyes flickering from blue to yellow, Rarity gasped and Sunset grunted with effort as she begun to lift the rocks further up. Sunset began to cry out as the effort began to overwhelm her. Rarity grabs Sunset who reluctantly lets Rarity examine her eyes for a moment before being satisfied. The others tried to help take some of the weight they pushed the rocks off of their position and climbed out onto the top of the pile and as they looked around at the rubble the saw footprints walking off to a place they could only guess. Author's Note Hi this is my first time writing on fimfiction. I hope you like this, constructive criticism is welcome and suggestions would be interesting to read. Thank you for reading :) The DazzlingsA shipyard is buzzing with noise from power tools and machines assembling pieces of ships. A figure in a cloak walks through a narrow space seeing ships of all kinds, republic cruisers, jedi shuttles and fighters, and something else they didn't recognize. The figure continued quietly making their way to a large open door big enough to fit a destroyer through knowing that any low profile vehicles that could be useful in escaping would be found in this room. Before the figure was able to enter the room three more figures approached from inside the room. The first figure Ignites a red lightsaber and swings at the others only for their attack to be blocked by a lightsaber belonging to the person in the front. The two began exchanging blows as the other figures watched. The first figure using being pushed back into the factory causing them to go on the offensive while the second figure uses single handed powerful strikes. The factory workers begin to panic at the sight of the two duelists slicing through the equipment in their attempts to defeat the other. Light sparks from the clashing of their lightsabers and the first figure is revealed to be Twilight Sparkle the fallen Jedi Master. Twilight falls onto the floor and her hood falls off and calls her second saber to her hand to help block a nearly finishing blow, which instead tosses both sabers out of her reach. Her opponent laughs and returns her saber to her belt. "You are powerful in the force Twilight Sparkle, but you do not know the dark side, not yet," The dark figure stated. The figure raised their hands and unleashed a torrent of force lightning on their defeated opponent. Twilight twitched and struggle as the searing burn from the lightning became unbearable, and she let out a scream of fear, and her opponent gave an evil laugh as they had won, unknowingly to Twilight with that scream she had submitted to a new master, for she was bound by the dark side. The lightning did not stop though, it did not stop until Twilight passed out from the pain and smoke drifted from her skin from the heat. When Twilight woke she was in a room, she looked around and found pipes, steam and metal everywhere. It was quite small and wires hung from the ceiling and the windows were covered up crudely. She heard the hiss of a door opening and closing behind her and the same three figures stepped in front of her. The one who seemed to be the leader spoke again, "Your knowledge and skill in the dark side is comparable to a child, I can offer you a chance to learn its ways and learn the power you seek." Twilight tried to keep them from noticing her shiver, she felt fear, this person was powerful she sensed it, not as powerful as Twilight herself but undoubtedly much more skilled in the Dark side. "You're a sith," Twilight asked. "Indeed I am," the figure said making their impatience obvious, "now do you want the power that the dark side can grant you or not, will you pledge yourself to the dark side." Twilight hesitated, gritting her teeth ," I pledge myself to the dark side." "Good, now rise, my apprentice," Twilight wasn't angry, she was furious, the idea of being an apprentice again fueled her rage, but she held it back. She knew that it would do no good in this situation. "Your anger will serve you, when the dark side becomes your ally you will be ready to fufill your destiny, but for now, I have a task for you. There is one particular jedi who is proving to be a larger thorn in our side than we anticipated. Your first mission is to kill Jedi guardian Flash Sentry." Twilight Sparkle left the room and all three figures removed their hoods. Aria Blaze looked at Adagio, "Are we really including her in our plan?" Adagio thought for a moment, "Yes, as long as we need her," "Right, why do we need her again, "Sonata asked." Adagio and Aria both looked at her angrily. The Disturbance"The sith are aware of many secrets that the jedi, in their arrogance are incapable of learning," the hologram of Adagio states. Twilight had isolated herself for hours listening to the hologram, meditating on its teachings, and she had watched it once more. "Some wider known facts such as yellow eyes indicating an avatar of the dark side and force lightning give only a glimpse into the wider power of the dark side. While many sith artifacts recreate this power none are a match for the power of a true lord of the sith. The sith of ancient past were capable of generating powerful force storms, harnessing not just force lightning but the realm of hyperspace to destroy entire fleets. I have no intention of teaching you any of these rituals, although there is one . . ." The device in her hand was crushed in almost an instant. While her power had grown since turning to the dark side her knowledge had seemed to shrink. Wallflower was the only one who had seemed to help her in any way, perhaps she could have been a friend if Twilight could be bothered to care for such things. Her goal is all that matters, the destruction of her greatest obstacle. "Did she tell you how to use the memory stone?" Wallflower asked. "Yes, many of the more powerful sith artifacts such as this one are powered by anger . . ." Twilight had to stop herself from going on a rant about what she had learned. Wallflower was only an asset to her goal, she couldn't waste time educating her on what she wouldn't understand. "Applejack, its good to see you again," Flash exclaimed. "What happened to you," Applejack asked as Flash knelt down to rest. "Twilight happened," he replied. "Why would she go after you?" Sunset asked. "I don't know, but she did this," He held up his hands to reveal that they had burn marks on them. The two jedi gasped in horror at the sight. As Flash held up his hands they started to shake slightly so he let them drop them down. "I don't think I'll be able to use my lightsaber anymore," He muttered. Applejack paced around and bit her lip while Sunset crossed her arms and let her mind race. In the brightly lit halls of the jedi temple, three cloaked beings walk past the different rooms. They make their way to the main hall where they pause to look around before continuing to move toward the library where many jedi are deep in study. "Looks like it's going to be easier than we thought," Adagio says. The other two chuckle and reach for their amulets. Upon activation the crystals glow and emit a powerful aura of dark side power. Negative energy began to weave its way through the room and though many of them did not notice it, they began to feel its affects. Many of the jedi who were sitting peacefully began to become impatient and arguments broke out at shared tables. The Dazzlings reveled in the chaos and fed on the negative emotion. "Looks like we found who we were looking for," Sonata stated as the Council of friendship was seen mooving through the libriary. The dazzlings watched in amusement as the council scrambled to figure out what was happening. Pinkie Pie and Rarity tried to break up the arguments and Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash tried to calm everyone else down. "I could watch theat animal lover struggle all day," Sonata exclaimed. "Yeah, the rainbow haired one Is having a hard time too, what was her name again," Aria said. "I think its time to make our exit," Adagio stated softly. The four council members began to make their way toward them. "So what next?" Aria asked. "A surprise," Adagio replied. "Who were they," Rainbow Dash asked. "I don't know but if they ran they're probably not good, they must be the reason everyone started being mean," Fluttershy added. "We should go after them, see where the trail leads," Rarity exclaimed. "As much as I like a good treasure hunt, I think we should tell Applejack first," Pinkie Pie said. "I agree with Rarity, besides their might not be enough time to tell Applejack," Rainbow said. "Well if we just stand here there won't be a trail to follow," Rarity added. "I still don't think we should, it might be a trap like -," Pinkie was cut off by Rainbow. "Fine if you want to go call Applejack then go, but I'm following those intruders. "But I thought we were supposed to stick together," Pinkie asked. "Honestly dear we don't have time for this, "Rarity said putting her hand on Rainbow's shoulder, " If we're going to go then we need to do it now." Pinkie huffed and Fluttershy shivered as their friends left them on their own. "Fine we can do this ourselves," Pinkie exclaimed dragging Fluttershy with her. "Hello, AJ come in," Pinkie yelled through the intercom making Fluttershy cover her ears. The holographic image of Applejack appeared, "Howdy Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, what happened." "Three creepy ladies came into the library and did some wierd stuff and now everyone is yelling at each other," Pinkie exclaimed without taking a breath. "Oh dear," Applejack muttered, " We,ll be there as soon as we can, I just hope its soon enough. Has anyone gone and done anything rash?" "yes Rainbow Dash and Rarity chased after them," Pinkie replied. AJ began to look really worried. They both that the two of them could handle themselves, but none of them knew what they were up against. Applejack looked behind her and motioned for someone else to come forward and Sunset Shimmer appeared. "Sunset, can you tell us anything about the dark side making people go crazy?" Pinkie asked. "Or how it affects friendships?" Fluttershy added. Sunset looked nervous and she was going deep into thought. "Are you sure its the dark side?" She asked. "No but its the best guess we have," Fluttershy explained. "Look we know you don't like talking about it but it sounds like they really could use your help," Applejack said. Sunset took a deep breath, "I know that the dark side alters your mind, it brings out your worst traits and twists things even as pure as friendship into dark desires." Pinkie and Fluttershy glanced at eachother nervously. Phase 2Trixie dropped the box from her left hand, in the other hand she held a blaster pistol with a modified barrel. The plasma cartridge took an odd shape that she was not familiar with. She shifted her grip so that she was holding it properly and tested its weight and feel in her hand. "That blaster is quite unique, as you have no doubt noticed it looks unusual," Twilight said, "the reason for that is the kyber crystal that powers it." Trixie's hand twitched in surprise. Most people would not pay any mind to the sith's comment, but she was a Mandalorian. Kyber was what powered a jedi's lightsaber, not much else was known but Trixie had her theories. "You are to assist me in a battle, and by the end you will have all the power you want," Twilight told her, "don't be late again." Trixie watched as her client disappeared around the corner. She examined her new weapon once more and activated her jet pack leaving the stranger in the shadows to his own thoughts. The council of friendship had authorized a security blockade around the area's around the temple. Security forces wouldn't do much against Twilight but at least they could get live updates. Sunset was in a transport ship with Applejack, the green lighting of the space that they stood in made a weird effect that disoriented Sunset for a few seconds. "What will we do once we find Twilight?" Sunset asked nervously. "I suppose we'll have to catch her some how, and when we do I don't think she'll be coming without a fight," Applejack responded. "Well if anyone will be able to catch her it'll be you," Sunset reassured. Applejack chuckled and they felt a bump as the transport landed. They stepped out and the two jedi that were already there gave them a strange look. Sunset bit her lip and tried to shrink down as small as she could, while some jedi had moved past Sunset's actions from her time as a sith many others have not. "Were here to relieve you on duty," Applejack told them. When the two jedi left in the transport Applejack and Sunset checked in with the security guards. The day had been quiet except a dispute between citizens. Not soon after they had arrived someone comes to them offering a tip. When they meet the person he is wearing a cloak. "What's your name," Applejack asks while Sunset stays back with the security. The stranger drops his hood revealing messy blue hair and blue eyes. Applejack gasps, "Flash." His only response is a smile. Author's Note So I hope you like it. The action comes next chapter. Thank you for reading :)
The CouncilSunset woke up in her bed, she looked around as her eyes adjusted and she got up. The door opened and she had to squint at the light before slowly walking out and making her way through the halls of the jedi temple. The familiar elaborate designs of the carpet and banners comforted her, the previous events had been very confusing but the Council of friendship would have answers they almost always did . . almost. When the door to the councils chambers slid open they all turned to her. Sunset walked to the middle of the room and addressed the council members. "You all saw what I did, Somehow Master Sparkle has fallen to the darkside and escaped. I know it may not be my place to ask but I would like to search for her." "I don't think thats a good Idea Sunset," Applejack replied. "Neither do I, we should be very careful, the dark side is shrouded in mystery," Fluttershy added. "Well I could go and watch over Sunset, we could search for clues," Pinkie pie exclaimed. "I suppose, but I'm still worried," Applejack said. "I could monitor their progress, but if you find anything you will report back to us," Rainbow Dash told them. "Great lets go, we can take my ship," Pinkie said pulling Sunset out of the room. "I hope this was a good choice," Rarity told Somewhere: "Did you sense that," "Yes" "Do you think she will come?" "If it is the will of the force," "And if its not," "Then I will send her to retrieve the girl, have patience sister everything proceeds as I have designed." Author's Note Mystery characters
The First MissionThe wind rustled through Flash's hair as he sat meditating, he smelled the saltiness from the ocean beneath the cliff he sat atop. There had been a tremor in the force recently and his training told him that to feel the force would give the answers he seeks. His chest rose and fell with his breathing as he focused his mind on what he wanted to know, the texture and hardness of the rock and the wind on his face faded from his senses, but were still felt through the force. He followed the leftovers of the tremor like a trail, every so often he would get stuck but the chase resumed. On his way, Flash could faintly sense Twilight, she must be investigating it too, he thought. The attempts to reach out to her were met with feelings of unease and coldness. He stopped when he reached to end of the trail, but Flash was surprised when he realized it led, behind him. Flash Leaped off the rock and flipped backward grabbing his lightsaber from his belt, and the moment he hit the ground a crimson blade met the blue of his. He let his opponent drive him back with their attacks as he gathered his bearings, the last time he had seen a Sith was, Sunset Shimmer. The questions running through his head kept his focus divided long enough for the Sith to kick him back into one of the few trees on the hill. "Sunset, stop this, What happened to Twilight?" Flash Growled. To his own surprise it was becoming increasingly difficult to keep his own anger in check as his former comrade ignored his question and the fact that sunset doing this meant that Twilight had failed didn't help. "You had feelings for Twilight? She had feelings for you, did you know that? I enjoyed watching her struggle as I destroyed her." The cloaked figure taunted, "Aw, what's wrong flash, you never got angry back when we trained together." "You killed Twilight, I'll give myself an acceptation." Flash replied as his anger flared. Flash summoned a large force blast that sent his opponent back and their cloak was knocked off, revealing Twilight in a dark cloth outfit covering all of her body except her head and . Flash stumbled back in his surprise and lowered his guard. "Twilight?" He said. Twilight charges at him and swings at him furiously and Flash blocks every blow. "What happened, let me help you." Flash exclaimed. "I don't need help, I will soon have more power than you or any of the other Jedi." Twilight replied. "You said you had feelings for me?" Flash questioned. "I did, but I was as weak as you are," Twilight told him. Flash and Twilight battled all the way down the hill and to the docks at its base. The dock workers ran from the two as their blades sparked in the air and slashed through rocks and handrails on the platform that led to the floating dock. They could hear footsteps on the dock's second level as they continued their fight. Flash's strong defensive strokes and Twilight's aggressive unfocussed strikes. Flash jumped onto a boat on the side of the dock and onto the upper level to escape the barrels and boxes Twilight hurled at him, and she quickly followed, and as they did their sabers cut into the support beams that held it up. Flash and Twilight stumbled at the twisty and turny deck. The momentum tosses them off their feet and they try to hang on. Flash's lightsaber drops into the raging water below. Twilight Grabs her second lightsaber with a purple blade and slashes at Flash. Flash yells in pain and falls, desperately trying to hold onto the edge and grunts with effort. Twilight grunted and used the force to push off the deck, landing on a nearby control panel and slashing it. Flash and twilight fall as the dock becomes completely unstable and the dock workers watch from the land as the structure is slowly engulfed by the water. Later: Twilight crawls onto the beach coughing up water and reattaches her lightsabers to her belt.
A New EnemyTwilight Reached her ship on the docking platform of the planet. The platform was one of many stretching over the water, the land was scarce, it was a small spot of grass, dirt and rock, while ocean surrounded it as far as twilight could see on every side except for little dots of land in the distance each as small as the one she was on. She pressed a button on her belt and the ramp of her shuttle opened, as she was walking up to the cockpit a figure sat up from the pilots seat and faced Twilight. "Hello old friend," the figure said. "I don't know who you are," Twilight replied. "You don't know, or you don't want to know, I know what has become of you," They said. "I have become more powerful than you," Twilight responded. "I have come to warn you that I am watching you, do you know what that means," "Yes," Twilight said. The figure put their hand on Twilights shoulder and clipped something onto Twilights belt, "Your friend miss you," was all they said before walking to the ramp. "They mean nothing to me," Twilight exclaimed "If that were true you would have tried to destroy me," Twilight sensed that they had gone, and angrily sat in the pilots seat and pulled the holoprojector the person gave her from her belt. She thought about crushing it, but after sighing she put it on the dashboard and activated it. It was her friends they were sending her a message that they were coming to find her, they missed her. Twilight growled, she looked at her palm and watched as tears dripped from her now purple eyes onto her hand. She closed her eyes and violently closed her fingers around her palm and the holoprojector shorted out before sparking and falling apart. Her co-pilot, Captain Wallflower woke up and yelped at Twilight's sudden presence. "What happened," Twilight asked. "Um, I don't know I heard the ramp open and suddenly I was out and now, well you're here." Wallflower said in almost a whisper. "Take off, set the coordinates for home," Twilight commanded. "Yes, Ma'am," Wallflower exclaimed. The shuttle began hovering over the ground and slowly ascended into the air while wallflower was typing into her data pad and pressing buttons all around her. Upon reaching the atmosphere Wallflower grabbed a lever. "Going into hyper space in three, two, one." Wallflower pulled the lever and the stars became streaks and with a burst of speed they were gone. Twilight walked through the hissing doors and knelt before her masters. She hated that, she hated that with all her power she was kneeling before another, and what she hated more was that they could defeat her, even with all she had they were better at using the powers of the dark side they all shared. "What is it," Adagio asked. "I defeated Flash, he is at the bottom of a sea now." Twilight announced. "Good," Adagio said, but after moments of silence she continued, " I sense you have more to share," Twilight hesitated, "She was there," "Who," Adagio asked. "The Princess," Twilight spat. Twilight continued, "She said my friends were searching for me," "No, not friends, obstacles, inconveniences, Miss Sparkle I think we have found you next test, you are to Destroy the Council of Harmony. We will handle the Princess." "But I have passed a test, I am ready to ascend," Twilight said. Adagio shot force lightning at Twilight and yelled, "NO, you have destroyed a boy, you must face masters, only then will you be ready." Twilight stood. "Do you have a problem Sparkle," Adagio growled. Through her teeth Twilight said ,"No master." Twilight stormed through the downtrodden metal hallway. She was furious the metal panels on the walls crumpled as she walked past them and the wires sparked and lights flickered as they were touched by the dark force energy. She would show the three sith that she was better than them, because she knew the council just as she knew the best way to destroy someone was through hate, if she could make people hate them, they would fall apart and then when they were at their lowest moment, she would have her chance, she would earn the title of Darth.
PreparationTwilight sat in her bunk on her shuttle meditating. "What is it," she growled. "How did you know I was there?" Captain Wallflower asked. "Never mind, I came to aske about our mission," she continued. "Our mission is to tear the Council of Friendship apart," Twilight exclaimed. "Oh, well I may be able to help," Wallflower said. "How could you help me?" Twilight asked. "Well I . . happen to know where a certain powerful artifact is," Wallflower answered. "How powerful," Twilight questioned. "Like, can make you forget anything you want, powerful," the Captain said uncertain of if this was a good idea. "Oh, I see set the course then," Twilight said before using the force to close the door. Twilight stepped off of the shuttle's ramp onto the seemingly endless blanket of green grass and ferns. A small yellow and white R3 model astromech droid rolled down following her while projecting a holomap of the planet. The spot they were looking for was just over a hill and through a small portion of a forest. Twilight sprinted off with a burst of Force speed past the hill and R3-35 beeped and whistled a complaint as it activated its thrusters. The blur that was Twilight kicked up dirt as she came to a sudden stop in front of the forest. She walked through the edge of the forest, full of trees as wide as a Wookie. Twilight's eyes darted from left to right and she walked quickly. There were creatures in here with her, suddenly she lifted her hand and twitched her fingers causing a tree next to her to splinter and crack. Twilight pulled it down with the force and after almost a second of resistance it fell onto a creature behind her. Twilight took a device from her belt and poked the scaly dog like creature. "R3, analyse this blood sample?" Twilight commanded R4 gave a long deep whistle, probably a groan of annoyance at another one of Twilights science collections. Twilight continued walking until she reached "the small pond surrounded by yellow flowers." The light from the opening in the trees above the pond reflected off the water and created a glimmering effect that R3 seemed to be admiring. R3 pointed a mechanical joint at a spot that was just on the edge of the pond. Twilight reached out with the force and pulled the object free from the dirt. Once it made contact with her hand she was hit by memories of her friends, no not friends they were her enemies now. She saw saw memories of fun and calm moments, even sad ones too. Twilight willed herself to wake up seeing R3 there standing in front of her. "What?" she asked. The only response she got was an astromech's equivalent of a shrug before it activated its thrusters and flew off. "Did you get it?" Wallflower asked. "Yes," Twilight answered. "So what now?" Wallflower asked preparing the shuttle. "Set course for Coruscant and tell R3 to go through the usual procedure with the sample I collected," Twilight said heading for her quarters. Author's Note Thank you for reading :) constructive criticism is welcome. I want to make the next chapter longer.
The 1st phaseTwilight pulled her hood farther over her head as she exited the alley into the bustling streets of the Republic core world. Her eyes were closed and the sounds, shut out as she made her way through the crowd with the force guiding her path. Captain Wallflower follows closely behind trying frantically not to get lost in the crowd. Twilight steps onto the back row seat of a hover taxi and when her companion sets down next to her the vehicle takes off. “How are we going to do this? We can’t just take on the entire council of friendship by ourselves.” Wallflower whispered. Twilight’s explanation came in a low monotone voice, “just find us a getaway ship with Republic credentials, I’ve taken care of the rest.” Wallflower studies Twilight, the knot in her stomach didn’t do anything to remedy her skepticism but Twilight had gotten this far. If Twilight was as powerful as the Dazzlings claimed them maybe she could hold her own. She sighs and closes her eyes. In the Jedi temple Sunset Shimmer meditates. Her chamber is dark and her steady breathing is all that can be heard. For the eighth time in the month she reaches out in the force, she calls for twilight. There is something there but there is darkness covering it. She feels a smile tug at the edge of her lip, the dark side no longer feels familiar though the connection is still present. It’s more like an old acquaintance. Sunset takes a deeper breath as she refocuses. She tries to break through the veil that has corrupted this spot in the force. Pinkie Pie offered her the advice of offering it a connection as if she were offering someone friendship and as Sunset began to test this idea she did indeed make a connection. She felt the magic of what she was searching for her eyes snapped open. The council of friendship sat in their chambers meditating. Group meditation was a common practice in the order as it was believed to be a bonding activity to bring harmony to the self. They were all completely still except Pinkie who always tapped her fingers when meditating. Suddenly they opened their eyes in unison as Sunset burst through the door and exclaimed, “She’s on the planet!” “Hello Mandalorian, you’re late,”Twilight told the blue armored warrior. “I just wanted to make sure you valued me enough to wait,” Tricia said as she brushed her palm over her holster. “I value you only as much as your skills will get me,” Twilight replied. “”Well I value you only as much as you’ll pay me so let’s get down to business,” Trixie replied. “What if I offered you power instead of money,” Twilight continued. Trixie smirked under her helmet, “you have my attention.” Twilight unclipped a box from her utility belt and held it up for Trixie. Unknown to either of them a figure watched from the shadows. Author's Note Thank you for reading :)
PrologueSunset Shimmer walked through the dark hallway of the temple, coming upon a symbol. A sith holocron, she felt the darkside radiate off of it, though only a fraction of what she had felt from the real thing. She reached out to it causing it to reach back. She saw flashbacks of herself, the piercing yellow eyes of a sith and anger radiating like a whirlwind. She remembered the power it gave her, the power she had craved and to be honest she still did. Before she could see much she was pushed back, when she opened her eyes Rarity had parried her blade away from the symbol on the wall and she glared at Sunset. She quickly deactivated her saber, deciding it was better to stay behind Rarity and follow so she didn't get sidetracked again. They kept moving and eventually came to a large room with an altar on the opposite side and a figure meditating. Sunset shivered as she felt the all to familiar chill of the dark side, but something was wrong, they she had never sensed as much force energy from a sith. Rarity's eyes set on Sunset who had stepped back slightly. Rarity gently grabbed Sunsets hand and Sunset's head twitched to face Rarity, who gave her a reassuring nod. The figure stood and as they did the cloak they were wearing dropped. Sunset almost dropped her lightsaber hilt as she stumbled back farther and Rarity's eyes widened in shock at the sight of Master Twilight Sparkle who met both their eyes and smirked. She grabbed a twisted lightsaber hilt from her belt and ignited a crimson blade. Both Jedi drew their lightsabers in response and in a flash of red, Twilight sprinted toward them and locked blades with Sunset using wide powerful strokes to redirect their attacks. Twilight knocked Sunsets lightsaber from her hands and attempted to slash at her but sunset used the force to launch herself into the air calling her saber back to her hand and rejoining the duel. In the moments that Sunset wasn't fighting Twilight overpowered Rarity and Sunset shouted with anger as Rarity dropped to the floor. Outside of the temple Rainbow Dash, AppleJack, Fluttershy began entering the temple. They slowly walked through the hallway examining the symbols. The more they walk into the temple the more concerned they become. Rainbow Dash stops the group and they hear the faint sound of clashing lightsabers. Before anyone can stop her Rainbow Dash runs toward the sound igniting her own dual bladed saber, Applejack and Fluttershy quickly follow to back up their friend. When they arrive at the altar room Applejack rushes in to aid Sunset and Rainbow while Fluttershy goes to check on Rarity. Twilight grows a grin as Sunset begins to tire out and she prepares the finishing blow, but before it can be dealt her lightsaber is blocked by a new combatant. Twilight scowls at them and uses the force to create a massive shockwave pushing all of them back before taking advantage of scars in the ceiling to bring down the ceiling. The Jedi attempt to escape but the way is blocked by falling debris they have no choice but to try to use the force to shield themselves as their screams are masked by the sound of rock hitting the floor. Rarity opens her eyes to darkness and coughs from the dust surrounding her. She realizes that Sunset is still with her and Rainbow, AJ, and Fluttershy are there too. Fluttershy stops Rarity from sitting up because she is hurt and she could hit her head on the rocks above them. She looks around to see Sunset using the force to hold the rocks, Rarity put a hand on her shoulder and Sunsets head turned. Rarity could see her eyes flickering from blue to yellow, Rarity gasped and Sunset grunted with effort as she begun to lift the rocks further up. Sunset began to cry out as the effort began to overwhelm her. Rarity grabs Sunset who reluctantly lets Rarity examine her eyes for a moment before being satisfied. The others tried to help take some of the weight they pushed the rocks off of their position and climbed out onto the top of the pile and as they looked around at the rubble the saw footprints walking off to a place they could only guess. Author's Note Hi this is my first time writing on fimfiction. I hope you like this, constructive criticism is welcome and suggestions would be interesting to read. Thank you for reading :)
The DazzlingsA shipyard is buzzing with noise from power tools and machines assembling pieces of ships. A figure in a cloak walks through a narrow space seeing ships of all kinds, republic cruisers, jedi shuttles and fighters, and something else they didn't recognize. The figure continued quietly making their way to a large open door big enough to fit a destroyer through knowing that any low profile vehicles that could be useful in escaping would be found in this room. Before the figure was able to enter the room three more figures approached from inside the room. The first figure Ignites a red lightsaber and swings at the others only for their attack to be blocked by a lightsaber belonging to the person in the front. The two began exchanging blows as the other figures watched. The first figure using being pushed back into the factory causing them to go on the offensive while the second figure uses single handed powerful strikes. The factory workers begin to panic at the sight of the two duelists slicing through the equipment in their attempts to defeat the other. Light sparks from the clashing of their lightsabers and the first figure is revealed to be Twilight Sparkle the fallen Jedi Master. Twilight falls onto the floor and her hood falls off and calls her second saber to her hand to help block a nearly finishing blow, which instead tosses both sabers out of her reach. Her opponent laughs and returns her saber to her belt. "You are powerful in the force Twilight Sparkle, but you do not know the dark side, not yet," The dark figure stated. The figure raised their hands and unleashed a torrent of force lightning on their defeated opponent. Twilight twitched and struggle as the searing burn from the lightning became unbearable, and she let out a scream of fear, and her opponent gave an evil laugh as they had won, unknowingly to Twilight with that scream she had submitted to a new master, for she was bound by the dark side. The lightning did not stop though, it did not stop until Twilight passed out from the pain and smoke drifted from her skin from the heat. When Twilight woke she was in a room, she looked around and found pipes, steam and metal everywhere. It was quite small and wires hung from the ceiling and the windows were covered up crudely. She heard the hiss of a door opening and closing behind her and the same three figures stepped in front of her. The one who seemed to be the leader spoke again, "Your knowledge and skill in the dark side is comparable to a child, I can offer you a chance to learn its ways and learn the power you seek." Twilight tried to keep them from noticing her shiver, she felt fear, this person was powerful she sensed it, not as powerful as Twilight herself but undoubtedly much more skilled in the Dark side. "You're a sith," Twilight asked. "Indeed I am," the figure said making their impatience obvious, "now do you want the power that the dark side can grant you or not, will you pledge yourself to the dark side." Twilight hesitated, gritting her teeth ," I pledge myself to the dark side." "Good, now rise, my apprentice," Twilight wasn't angry, she was furious, the idea of being an apprentice again fueled her rage, but she held it back. She knew that it would do no good in this situation. "Your anger will serve you, when the dark side becomes your ally you will be ready to fufill your destiny, but for now, I have a task for you. There is one particular jedi who is proving to be a larger thorn in our side than we anticipated. Your first mission is to kill Jedi guardian Flash Sentry." Twilight Sparkle left the room and all three figures removed their hoods. Aria Blaze looked at Adagio, "Are we really including her in our plan?" Adagio thought for a moment, "Yes, as long as we need her," "Right, why do we need her again, "Sonata asked." Adagio and Aria both looked at her angrily.
The Disturbance"The sith are aware of many secrets that the jedi, in their arrogance are incapable of learning," the hologram of Adagio states. Twilight had isolated herself for hours listening to the hologram, meditating on its teachings, and she had watched it once more. "Some wider known facts such as yellow eyes indicating an avatar of the dark side and force lightning give only a glimpse into the wider power of the dark side. While many sith artifacts recreate this power none are a match for the power of a true lord of the sith. The sith of ancient past were capable of generating powerful force storms, harnessing not just force lightning but the realm of hyperspace to destroy entire fleets. I have no intention of teaching you any of these rituals, although there is one . . ." The device in her hand was crushed in almost an instant. While her power had grown since turning to the dark side her knowledge had seemed to shrink. Wallflower was the only one who had seemed to help her in any way, perhaps she could have been a friend if Twilight could be bothered to care for such things. Her goal is all that matters, the destruction of her greatest obstacle. "Did she tell you how to use the memory stone?" Wallflower asked. "Yes, many of the more powerful sith artifacts such as this one are powered by anger . . ." Twilight had to stop herself from going on a rant about what she had learned. Wallflower was only an asset to her goal, she couldn't waste time educating her on what she wouldn't understand. "Applejack, its good to see you again," Flash exclaimed. "What happened to you," Applejack asked as Flash knelt down to rest. "Twilight happened," he replied. "Why would she go after you?" Sunset asked. "I don't know, but she did this," He held up his hands to reveal that they had burn marks on them. The two jedi gasped in horror at the sight. As Flash held up his hands they started to shake slightly so he let them drop them down. "I don't think I'll be able to use my lightsaber anymore," He muttered. Applejack paced around and bit her lip while Sunset crossed her arms and let her mind race. In the brightly lit halls of the jedi temple, three cloaked beings walk past the different rooms. They make their way to the main hall where they pause to look around before continuing to move toward the library where many jedi are deep in study. "Looks like it's going to be easier than we thought," Adagio says. The other two chuckle and reach for their amulets. Upon activation the crystals glow and emit a powerful aura of dark side power. Negative energy began to weave its way through the room and though many of them did not notice it, they began to feel its affects. Many of the jedi who were sitting peacefully began to become impatient and arguments broke out at shared tables. The Dazzlings reveled in the chaos and fed on the negative emotion. "Looks like we found who we were looking for," Sonata stated as the Council of friendship was seen mooving through the libriary. The dazzlings watched in amusement as the council scrambled to figure out what was happening. Pinkie Pie and Rarity tried to break up the arguments and Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash tried to calm everyone else down. "I could watch theat animal lover struggle all day," Sonata exclaimed. "Yeah, the rainbow haired one Is having a hard time too, what was her name again," Aria said. "I think its time to make our exit," Adagio stated softly. The four council members began to make their way toward them. "So what next?" Aria asked. "A surprise," Adagio replied. "Who were they," Rainbow Dash asked. "I don't know but if they ran they're probably not good, they must be the reason everyone started being mean," Fluttershy added. "We should go after them, see where the trail leads," Rarity exclaimed. "As much as I like a good treasure hunt, I think we should tell Applejack first," Pinkie Pie said. "I agree with Rarity, besides their might not be enough time to tell Applejack," Rainbow said. "Well if we just stand here there won't be a trail to follow," Rarity added. "I still don't think we should, it might be a trap like -," Pinkie was cut off by Rainbow. "Fine if you want to go call Applejack then go, but I'm following those intruders. "But I thought we were supposed to stick together," Pinkie asked. "Honestly dear we don't have time for this, "Rarity said putting her hand on Rainbow's shoulder, " If we're going to go then we need to do it now." Pinkie huffed and Fluttershy shivered as their friends left them on their own. "Fine we can do this ourselves," Pinkie exclaimed dragging Fluttershy with her. "Hello, AJ come in," Pinkie yelled through the intercom making Fluttershy cover her ears. The holographic image of Applejack appeared, "Howdy Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, what happened." "Three creepy ladies came into the library and did some wierd stuff and now everyone is yelling at each other," Pinkie exclaimed without taking a breath. "Oh dear," Applejack muttered, " We,ll be there as soon as we can, I just hope its soon enough. Has anyone gone and done anything rash?" "yes Rainbow Dash and Rarity chased after them," Pinkie replied. AJ began to look really worried. They both that the two of them could handle themselves, but none of them knew what they were up against. Applejack looked behind her and motioned for someone else to come forward and Sunset Shimmer appeared. "Sunset, can you tell us anything about the dark side making people go crazy?" Pinkie asked. "Or how it affects friendships?" Fluttershy added. Sunset looked nervous and she was going deep into thought. "Are you sure its the dark side?" She asked. "No but its the best guess we have," Fluttershy explained. "Look we know you don't like talking about it but it sounds like they really could use your help," Applejack said. Sunset took a deep breath, "I know that the dark side alters your mind, it brings out your worst traits and twists things even as pure as friendship into dark desires." Pinkie and Fluttershy glanced at eachother nervously.
Phase 2Trixie dropped the box from her left hand, in the other hand she held a blaster pistol with a modified barrel. The plasma cartridge took an odd shape that she was not familiar with. She shifted her grip so that she was holding it properly and tested its weight and feel in her hand. "That blaster is quite unique, as you have no doubt noticed it looks unusual," Twilight said, "the reason for that is the kyber crystal that powers it." Trixie's hand twitched in surprise. Most people would not pay any mind to the sith's comment, but she was a Mandalorian. Kyber was what powered a jedi's lightsaber, not much else was known but Trixie had her theories. "You are to assist me in a battle, and by the end you will have all the power you want," Twilight told her, "don't be late again." Trixie watched as her client disappeared around the corner. She examined her new weapon once more and activated her jet pack leaving the stranger in the shadows to his own thoughts. The council of friendship had authorized a security blockade around the area's around the temple. Security forces wouldn't do much against Twilight but at least they could get live updates. Sunset was in a transport ship with Applejack, the green lighting of the space that they stood in made a weird effect that disoriented Sunset for a few seconds. "What will we do once we find Twilight?" Sunset asked nervously. "I suppose we'll have to catch her some how, and when we do I don't think she'll be coming without a fight," Applejack responded. "Well if anyone will be able to catch her it'll be you," Sunset reassured. Applejack chuckled and they felt a bump as the transport landed. They stepped out and the two jedi that were already there gave them a strange look. Sunset bit her lip and tried to shrink down as small as she could, while some jedi had moved past Sunset's actions from her time as a sith many others have not. "Were here to relieve you on duty," Applejack told them. When the two jedi left in the transport Applejack and Sunset checked in with the security guards. The day had been quiet except a dispute between citizens. Not soon after they had arrived someone comes to them offering a tip. When they meet the person he is wearing a cloak. "What's your name," Applejack asks while Sunset stays back with the security. The stranger drops his hood revealing messy blue hair and blue eyes. Applejack gasps, "Flash." His only response is a smile. Author's Note So I hope you like it. The action comes next chapter. Thank you for reading :)
