The Jedi Prince

In the space above Naboo, a YT-2400 freighter was being pursued by five prototype TIE fighters. Onboard, the Jedi Knight Blaze Ando was at the helm with his astromech, R5-G7 beside him. He was 30 years old and wore a dark gray Jedi robe with lighter gray pants and brown boots, he also carried two lightsabers, one given to him by a late friend of his who was killed by General Grievous two years ago. In the seat beside him was his trusted clone trooper, CC-1983 aka Commander Dagger, who had his inhibitor chip removed prior to Order 66. Dagger had black markings on his armor and carried a DC-15A blaster rifle.

“How’s the ship holding up, Dagger?” Blaze asked.

“The shields are holding for now, Blaze. But not for much longer,” Dagger replied.

“Turn the cannons in rear position,” Blaze ordered.

“Right away,” Dagger replied.

The freighter opened fire on the TIE fighters and destroyed all six of them, but they had Star Destroyers coming right at them, one of them being a prototype Imperial I-class, and the rest being Venator-class.

“Be ready to prep the hyperdrive! We’re going under those Star Destroyers,” Blaze said.

“I advise caution, sir. Need I remind you we’re carrying your newborn son who’s currently being tended to by the medical droid,” said Dagger.

“Which is why we need to find a safe planet, away from the Empire,” Blaze replied.

“Which one do you have in mind?” Dagger asked.

“I was thinking somewhere in Wild Space. I’ve heard rumors of a remote planet with a strong connection to the Force. Now, let’s go find this planet,” Blaze replied.

Once the navicomputer was set, they went into hyperspace. Shortly after, the medical droid, 2-1B15 came into the cockpit with the baby.

“How is he?” Blaze asked.

“The infant is healthy for now, but he will need to be fed soon,” the medical droid replied.

“We’ll do that once we reach the mysterious planet,” Blaze said.

“Have you thought of a name for him, Blaze?” Dagger asked.

“I’ll name him ‘Cody’, after the clone commander who served Obi-Wan Kenobi,” Blaze replied, “What do you think, R5?”

R5 beeped in agreement.

Soon enough, they reached their destination.

“I’m detecting massive lifeform readings on this planet and strangely, I’m also detecting one life sign on the planet’s moon, but that’s preposterous, since there’s no air on the moon,” Blaze said.

“I just hope whoever lives on this planet is friendly and generous enough to give us sanctuary,” Dagger said.

R5 beeped in agreement and also whistled with anxiety.

“Whoever lives on this planet, we’ll tell them that we come in peace and I’m sure they’ll welcome us,” Blaze said.

“I hope you’re right,” Dagger replied.

After they entered the atmosphere, Blaze saw a small town and then a mountain with a city on it.

“Let’s land on that mountain over there,” Blaze said.

Shortly after landing, Blaze and company entered the city, they were amazed by its wonders as it reminded Blaze of Theed on Naboo, and then they saw a castle up ahead. Staring at them were equine-looking creatures with hoofed feet, along with manes and fur coats of various colors and they gave each other strange looks.

Just then, a group of guards came up to them with spears and other weapons at the ready and one of them said, “State your business, outsiders.”

“My name is Blaze Ando, this is my son, Cody, and my friends Commander Dagger and R5-G7, my droid. We come in peace and seek sanctuary,” Blaze said.

“Our princess will be the judge of that,” the lead guard said.

Blaze began using a Jedi mind trick and said “You will take us to your princess now.”

“We will take you our princess now,” the guard repeated.

“You do not want to restrain us,” Blaze said.

“We do not want to restrain you,” the guard repeated.

The guards escorted them to the palace, Blaze decided to make small talk and said, “Pardon me. If I may ask, what’s your name?”

“I’m Captain Valiant Knight and beside me is my second-in-command, Lieutenant Lancer,” the guard replied.

“Good to meet you, captain. You too, lieutenant,” Dagger greeted.

“Likewise, commander,” Lancer replied in an uneasy tone.

Once at inside the castle, they were escorted to the throne room and saw a white pony with a horn and wings. Blaze and Dagger immediately assumed this was the princess, she was roughly half a foot taller than Blaze and had G-cup breasts. She also wore a gold crown and chest-piece, along with a white royal robe with slits on the sides showing off her legs, gold arm bracelets and slippers.

Blaze easily took notice of her curvy and voluptuous figure, but kept his cool, then he and Dagger bowed down before her as she got up from the throne to meet them.

“You may rise, travelers,” the princess said, “Guards, leave us.”

“My name is Blaze Ando, and this is Commander Dagger, my droid R5-G7, and my son, Cody. We come in peace and seek sanctuary,” Blaze said as he rose.

“A pleasure to meet you, Blaze. My name is Princess Celestia,” The princess replied.

“It’s great to meet you, Princess Celestia,” said Blaze as he kissed her hand, “By the way, what planet are we on?”

“This is Equestria, you are in the capital city of Canterlot,” Celestia replied, “May I see your son, please?”

Blaze gave Cody to Celestia and she said, “He’s so precious and such a sweet little one. What happened to his mother?”

“She died giving birth to him earlier today. Do you think you can feed him please?” Blaze said.

“My deepest sympathies. I’ll get right on that,” Celestia replied as she performed a stimulation spell on herself allowing her to lactate.

With that, Cody immediately began feeding from her. She smiled at this as she took in instant liking to him. Once Cody was finished, Celestia placed him on her shoulder and gently patted his back until he let out a soft burp, and then she hugged him softly towards her chest.

“Can you and Dagger tell me more about yourselves?” Celestia asked.

“I am a Jedi Knight and I was born on the planet of Naboo,” Blaze replied.

“I’m a clone trooper, born on the ocean planet of Kamino,” Dagger added.

“The Jedi were peacekeepers dedicated to protecting the galaxy and everyone in it, we were in cooperation with the Galactic Republic for all the one thousand years it stood. More recently there was conflict in the galaxy; the Clone War, which lasted for roughly three years and billions died on both sides, Republic and Separatists alike. The Confederacy of Independent Systems, also called the Separatist Alliance, comprised of various star systems that seceded from the Republic, and was publicly led by a Sith Lord named Count Dooku. We Jedi were generals in the Grand Army of the Republic and had masses of clone troopers at our service until the end of the war, shortly after the deaths of Count Dooku and supreme commander of the droid army, General Grievous, Chancellor Palpatine revealed his true identity as the Sith Lord Darth Sidious and declared Order 66, which was given to all the clone troopers and led most of the Jedi to be killed off, including my old master, Plo Koon. Very few Jedi survived, including Obi-Wan Kenobi, Master Yoda, the wisest of us, and myself. it was also when we all lost a great friend, the Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker, who was then consumed by the dark side and became the Sith Lord Darth Vader. Now, the Republic has become the Galactic Empire, and the Empire seeks total control of the galaxy and everyone in it,” Blaze explained.

“All of us clone troopers had inhibitor chips planted in our heads so we could take any order without question, that’s why they followed Order 66, but I was lucky not to receive the order since I had my inhibitor chip removed beforehand. The Republic won the Clone War but not in the way we had hoped. Blaze and I were on the moon of Pantora when Order 66 happened. We had wiped out the invading Separatist forces led by Count Dooku’s Sith apprentice, a Trandoshan called Darth Claw. Blaze defeated him in a duel and, then Claw fled. Afterwards, when the order was given, the very clone troopers in our unit betrayed us, we tried going to Admiral Tarkin for help, but he betrayed us too and ordered the fleet to destroy us. We managed to escape to Naboo where we met Cody’s birth mother and took refuge in a Gungan village and stayed there for a year, until today when we bought a YT-2400 freighter, the ship we came here on,” Dagger added.

“I’m very sorry that happened to you both. You are welcome to stay here with me in the castle, I’ll have the maids prepare your new rooms right away,” Celestia replied.

“Thank you, Princess Celestia,” Blaze said.

Hours passed, Blaze and Dagger headed off to their new chambers, while Cody was given a crib inside Celestia’s chambers to sleep in. After lowering the sun and raising the moon, Celestia kissed Cody on his face and gently placed him in the crib, then quietly said to him, “Good night, Cody.”
