Part I The Smooze Campagin

Chapter Four

First Encounter, Ponies meet Jedi

Location: Jedi Avenger, Hyperspace

Kyle stood at the front of the bridge, gazing out over the vastness of space. The current readings on where they were locatated hadn't come in, but according to C3PO they were near the border of the Core Worlds and the Unknown Regions. Suddenly he heard a whoosh, and turned just in time to see Kit walk in.

"Daddy," Kit said, but before she could continue, Kyle gave her the look that she had become accustumed to when she called him daddy, "um I mean Kyle, where are we going?"

"I figured," Kyle replied, smiling, "that you'd ask that," pointed to the holographic projector, and with the power of Force Levitation, activated it. The image of a small M class planet, covered in water, with a large contenent in the center appeared.

"That," Kyle said, pointing to the hologram, "is the first stop on our path to bring the Unknown Regions into the Jedi Empire." As he patted Kit on the shoulder, he was suddenly interupted by a vision, a vision of the Sith and of the Brother he hadn't seen in more then 10 years.

"Sir," a voice said, snaping him out of the vision, "We're near the planet, should we come out of hyperspace?"

"Yes, Padawin," Kyle replied, regaining his senses, 'what was that, Corenth, it couldn't have been?"

Location: Wrath of the Empire, Bridge

"Brother," Corenth said, having experianced the same vison, "it's been a long time." As he gazed out the window, an Imperial officer came up to him.

"Sir, our radar has detected a massive Jedi carrier jumping into the system." he said panting.

"Have the Jedi detected us," Corenth enquired

"No sir, the fleet still remains cloaked as you orderd" the officer replied, "and we read no Force Sights emiting from the enemy vessel."

"Good," Corenth said, changing the subject, "and how go the operations in Ponyland?"

"Our forces have taken control of most of the Northern territories, with few losses, and the Yuuzhan Vong and Corprate Alliance have already begun rounding up slaves and other non-Jedi for internmant sir, but the Ssi-Ruuk report that they've met up with some resistance when commencing operations in a provence to the south of our Grundleland staging ground."

"And," Corenth said, his eyes beginning to go red.

"The Trade Federation is sending a battalion of Battle Droids into the area, and units of the 3rd Impierial Walker Corps are enrute as well."

"Good," Corenth replied, smiling, "how long do you estimate before the provance falls."

"Current Ssi-Ruuk reports say about another day or so."

"But the arrival of the Jedi poses a problem to our plans," Corenth said, remembering the Jedi vessel that had arrived, "we must gather allies down there, send Scout Troopers out to find those sensative to the Dark Side, or other evil beings."

"As you command Lord," the officer said bowing, as the Imperial officer left, Corenth gazed out the window once again.

"Now Brother it is your move." Corenth said to himself

Location: Hangerbay of the Jedi Avenger

"Wait," Kit said, grabbing onto Kyle's cloak, "I'm coming too."

"Kit," Kyle replied, "you know X-Wings can only carry one."

"I'll ride on your lap," Kit said, and once she said that, Kyle knew he had to take her with him or she would follow in one of the escape pods. Kyle looked around to see Jacen and Jaina loading the Speeder bikes onto the Shuttle, meanwhile R2 had been loaded into Kyle's X-wing and C3PO was complaning, as usual, about how much he hated space travel, as two Jedi Warriors drug him up the boarding ramp of the shuttle. As the final preparations were made, Kyle climbed into his cockpit, followed by Kit, who sat on his lap. When the signal was given, the two craft launched, and a few minutes later entered the atmosphere.

Location: Posey's Guardan, just inside the borders of Dream Valley

The two craft, barly missed the trees, but came down right on top of the Posey's prized flower beds. While the landing was rough, the Jedi, the Droids, and the child were alright. Emerging from the cockpit of the X-wing, Kyle immedatly check the surroundings.

"I've got something," he said, as Jacen and Jaina climbed out of the shuttle, "looks like a structure."

"Guess that means we should get started," Jacen said, as he unloaded the first Speeder, and smashing even more of Posey's flowers, "I'll scout up north to see what I can find." Kyle was about to object but Jacen sped off before he could say anything.

"That brohter of yours is something, he doesn't use the Force but he acts sometimes like the Emperor." Kyle said, eyeing Jaina, "But he's right we should get started, 3PO, R2 come on." He motioned for the Droids to follow them as the hiked toward the reading.

Location: Spring Festival, Dream Valley, an hour later

The festival was in full swing, and the Ponies and their animal friends were having a great time. Games and fun were occuring all over, and the highlight of the festival, the baby pony dancers was coming up. Still the Ponies and the animals played on, unawhere of the Jedi in the woods.

Kyle looked thorugh the bennoculars, to see a gathering of strange cretures, even for a Force Knight who had seen it all, these were weird creatures, multi colored, with strange markings on their sides, and flowing multi colored hair, and furry tails, infact to the Jedi they looked almost like small Banthas.

"Those are strange creatures Master Striker," 3PO said, and R2 beeped in agreement.

"Quiet," Jaina said, "we don't know if their hostile or friendly," she turned to Kyle, "I don't sense any evidence of the Dark Side, but I do sense some are leaning toward the Dark Side."

"I feel it too," Kyle replied, "we must try to either A. observe from here, or B. make contact." it didn't take them long to have their answer.

Fizzy and North Star were having the time of their lives playing vollyball with each other. Suddenly North Star lept into the air, her pink wings fluttering and sent the bubble flying clear into the forest.

"No fare flying," Fizzy said laughing, as she rushed off to get the bubble. But what she found was something that made the blue Unicorn frezze, a girl, a young woman, two strange looking Humans, and a man dressed in a weather beaten black cloak.

Kyle, was rubbing the bump on his head, when he looked up to see the Little Pony staring at him, as if she had never seen a Jedi before.

"Hi," Fizzy said, "I'm Fizzy, I'm a Little Pony, who are you?" Kyle was reaching for his Lightsaber, when Kit stopped him.

"I'm Kit Kanos," she said.

"Jaina Solo," Jaina replied, "I'm a Jedi Knight, and X-wing pilot." It took Kyle a while to form some words.

"Kyle Striker," Kyle said, "I'm a Jedi Force Knight, and those two," he pointed to C3PO and R2, "are C3PO and R2-D2." Jaina was about to infrom the Unicorn about her brother but Kyle silenced her.

"They sure are funny Humans," Fizzy said laughing.

"They're not Humans," Kit said, "They're Droids."

"Droids?" Fizzy replied, "Never heard of them before, in fact I've never heard of Jedi Knights before, tell me about them."

"It's kind of complicated miss, Fizzy," Kyle replied. Suddenly an idea crossed Fizzy's mind.

"Hay you guys want come back to the festival," Fizzy asked, "you can meet all my friends." C3PO walked up to Kyle upon hearing that invite.

"Oh lets go sir," C3PO said, "I do so love parties." Suddenly Kit was pulling at his robe, and reluctantly Kyle agreed, but on the condition that he meet with the leader of the Ponies as soon as possible.

Fizzy was jumping around happily that her new firends were coming to the festival, but then she remembered the reasion she was in the forest to begin with.

"Oh dear the bubble," Fizzy said, "I forgot all about it."

"Relax," Kyle said, as he raised his hand, and in an instant the Force drew the bubble to his hand.

"That was amazing," Fizzy said, in awe, "how did you do that?"

"The Force," Kyle replied, "the energy field that all living being generate, and gives the Jedi their powers." Fizzy wanted to ask more but she could here North Star calling.

"Follow me," Fizzy replied, and lead the group toward the Spring Festival.
