Star Wars: Council of Harmony
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away…
STAR WARS
An MLP: EQG Story
COUNCIL OF HARMONY
Several months have passed
since the galaxy has become on the brink
of total darkness, and the recent purge of Order 66,
ending the Jedi Order for good. The evil
GALACTIC EMPIRE has overthrown
the Old Republic and now
holds countless worlds in the
grip of fear.
The Jedi Knights have been all
but destroyed. Only a handful
have escaped Imperial forces,
disappearing into hiding across
the galaxy, including the Council of Harmony,
a secret division of the Jedi
Order, who relocated the Jedi Temple of Friendship on
the peaceful and harmonious planet
of Equus-G4. As the Empire struggles to deal with
unsuspectingly suspicion amongst the other Jedi, other Imperial forces
comb the galaxy for any trace of
the remaining Jedi that escaped Order 66.
However, in the intervening period, the Emperor’s spies have
located a lone Jedi Knight, sent by Princess Celestia of the Galactic Senate of the Old Republic,
to protect one of her faithful students from harm,
on the woodland planet of Gaia Everfree. The Sith Lord DARTH
VADER has been sent to destroy him....
Outside the atmosphere of the planet, a group of Star Destroyers stood beyond the orbit of Gaia Everfree. An Imperial shuttle dropped from underneath one of the Star Destroyers and flew towards the planet, which is being overran by an Imperial invasion. The shuttle then landed on the service, and the Dark Lord of the Sith, Darth Vader stepped out and started to journey on ahead to carry on his mission after looking around at the battlefield and saw dead Stormtroopers and random anthropomorphic woodland creatures already dead.
An Imperial commander suddenly appeared to Darth Vader to talk to him, “Lord Vader? We were ambushed upon arrival, but I have the situation well in--”
Darth Vader then cut the commander off by Force choking him, and then spoke in a deep, menacing, mechanical toned voice, “I have no interest in your failures, Commander. I am here on a mission of my own.” Darth Vader then released the commander towards the ground and continued forward, as he cut down all in his path, including trees and vines with his lightsaber, and removing rocks out of his way by using the Force, and killed a few resisting soldiers of the planet while journeying ahead, until he comes to a complete stop towards a small hut. A Jedi in a dark red, gold and gray robes stepped out.
“Dark Lord... Whatever you want, you won’t find it here,” he said.
Darth Vader then said, “You cannot disguise yourself from me... Jedi Master Neighsay.”
“Turn back!” Neighsay said, as he used the Force to blow away Vader’s Stormtrooper escort, but it suddenly had no affect on the Dark Lord himself.
As Vader and the rogue Jedi had their lightsaber match and deflected their attacks towards each other, Neighsay was no match for Darth Vader and is eventually thrown into his home through the door. Darth Vader then enters the hut and grips the defenseless Jedi with Force Choke, lifting him up. “I sense someone far more powerful nearby. Where is your master?”
Neighsay then spoke as he was still being choked, “The Dark Side has clouded your mind. You killed my master months ago.”
“Then now you will share his fate,” Darth Vader said, as he raised his blade to strike the Jedi, but his lightsaber was suddenly plucked from his hand and flies into the grasp of a very young 7 year old girl, with yellow skin, green eyes and red and yellow striped curled hair, and a youngling’s outfit.
“Her student…” Vader said, as he knew who the child was: Sunset Shimmer, one of Princess Celestia’s prized pupils and future member of the Jedi Council of Harmony.
“RUN!” Neighsay said.
Vader then crushed Neighsay’s neck with the Force and dropped him, as he was already dead while Sunset had tears of fear in her eyes while she stared at the tall Sith Lord, as he then carefully confronted the child holding his lightsaber. The Commander and a small unit of Stormtroopers then arrived at the door.
“Lord Vader?” he asked, until he saw Sunset Shimmer nervously holding his lightsaber and turned to his men. He then ordered them to shoot by pointing at the girl, who whimpered nervously, but Darth Vader reclaimed his lightsaber from the girl’s hands with the Force and then lunged in front of the girl and deflects all the blaster fire. The Stormtroopers fell down dead, until the Dark Lord approached the frightened child, and placed his hand on her shoulder, “Come with me. More will be here soon.”
Throughout the years of hunting down remaining Jedi, and training under her master’s teachings, Sunset Shimmer had grown more stronger than before and became a powerful Sith Assassin. Onboard the Executor, Darth Vader’s personal starship, the now grown Sunset Shimmer, wearing a black and dark gray Sith tunic over a magenta low crop undershirt, and black arm bands with fingerless gloves and arm braces, kneeled before Darth Vader.
Darth Vader then spoke, “You were weak when I found you. Now your hatred has become your strength.” He then ignites his lightsaber and knights Sunset’s shoulders. “At last, the Dark Side is your alley. Rise, my apprentice.”
Sunset stood up after Darth Vader deactivated his lightsaber, “What is your will, my master?”
Darth Vader then replied, “Your training is nearly complete. It is time to face your first true test.”
“Your spies have located a Jedi?” Sunset asked.
“Yes. Master Rahm Kota, along with Rockhoof,” Darth Vader said. “They’re attacking a critical Imperial shipyard. Destroy them and bring me Kota’s lightsaber.”
“Understood, my master. I shall leave immediately,” Sunset said.
Darth Vader then spoke again, “The Emperor must not discover you. Leave no witnesses. Kill everyone aboard, Imperials and both the men of Kota and Rockhoof alike.”
Sunset then understood, “As you wish, my master.” She then left the bridge to prepare for her mission. As Darth Vader looked out at the view of deep space.
