Chapter Five

Dark Conquest, Enter the Spring Festival

Location: Troggleland, South of Grundleland, Ponyland

The Troggles were buzy rushing about, already the invaders from beyond had overrun most of their kingdom and now they were closing in on Troggle Castle. The Troggles were so buzy freating over the coming Order attack that they failed to notice the gathering Ssi-Ruuk, Imperial,and Federation forces on the ledge over looking the castle.

The attacking Shadow forces consisted of numerus Ssi-Ruuk warriors, both mounted and un-mounted, and thousands of Trade Federation Battle Droids, among which were numerous Droidekas, supporting the operation was an entire corps of Galactic Empire AT-AT Combat Walkers, each contaning over 40 battle ready Imperial Stormtroopers, a few AT-ST Scout Walkers, and a dozen Trade Federation AAT attack tanks.

"General," one of the Battle Droid tank commanders said, to a Ssi-Ruuk general, "we're in position to commence bombardment of enemy stronghold."

"Commence attack Captain," The Ssi-Ruuk replied

"Open Fire," The Droid Captain said, one by one the Trade Federation tanks, and Imperial AT-STs opened fire. The energy bolts from the Shadow forces punched through the Troggle's fortress as though it wasn't there. As the far wall and tower collapsed, hundreds of Troggles were killed or wounded. Suddenly after only five minutes of bombardment the signal was given to cease-fire, for the objective had been accomplished, a hole had been blown in the wall.

"All units advance," The Ssi-Ruuk general shouted, the Walkers and tanks began moving and the huge Shadow Army began its march toward the Troggle Castle.

"Enemy coming, enemy coming," a Troggle said, rushing to the hole in the wall, the Troggle captain saw 5 massive machines, with numerous smaller machines, advancing on the castle. Behind the advancing machines were legions of smaller machines, and lizard like creatures. Before long the Imperial Walkers opened fire on the already damaged castle. It took the Troggles a while but they managed to return fire, but not with blasters, or even rocks, but with water ballons, though the ballons were able to short out a small number of Trade Federation Battle Droids, they were useless agains the Impeiral Walkers, and the Ssi-Ruuk soldiers. Before long the Federation droids and the Ssi-Ruuk warriors had entered the castle, through one of the holes in the wall, and preceeded to open fire on the inhabitiants, most of which were killed out right, but a few Troggles retured fire, this time with a combintation of spears and water ballons, and this time some Ssi-Ruuk and Battle Droids were taken down, but not before the AT-ATs began unloading a total of 200 battle hardened Imperial Stormtroopers.

Once the Imperial forces entered the castle, they quickly captured the Troggle Royal family, who were attempting to flee to the East, and procceded to execute them. In a matter of minutes the Troggle flag was hulled down and the Order of the Shadow flag went up.

Once Troggle Castle was in Shadow hands, the purge began. Imperial Troops, equiped with Force Identifiers, began rounding up all Troggles with a Force sensitivity level below 50%, once these Troggles were rounded up, most were shot on the spot by the Imperials while others were loaded onto an AT-AT for transport to one of the Order's many slave labor camps in Grundleland. Meanwhile the Ssi-Ruuk warriors and Trade Federation Droids waved in the numerous AATs to begin patroling the small kingdom, and to begin plans for the invasion of the next kingdom.

Location: Meditation Room, Wrath of the Empire

"Lord Striker," an Imperial Officer said, awakening Corenth from his deep meditation.

"What is it Captain," Corenth asked, with a look of rage in his eye.

"Latest reports from the front lines sir," the officer replied.

"And," Corenth asked, his hand balling into a fist.

"Reports indicate that Troggleland has just fallen to our forces, and Imperial and Yuuzhan Vong forces are ready to comence the attack on the kingdoms to the west of Grundleland. Also, more detention camps are reportedly needed to house the growing numbers of non-Force sensitive patrons."

"Has the Jedi carrier detected our presance," Corenth inquired

"No, the enemy vessel hasn't moved, but the Federation battleship Commerce detected a small landing party leaving the carrier a while ago." Corenth began turning red.

"Where did the Jedi land?" Corenth asked, enraged

"In a small valley to the south of the lines sir," the officer replied, shaking. But to his surprise Corenth began calming down, when he relized that the Jedi currently wern't a threat to the Order's operations.

"And what of allies?" Corenth asked, his temper finally cooling

"Imperial Scouts reported sighting an old house in one of the volcanos, but was unable to conferm any life readings." the officer said, shaking

"Tell the Imperials to send a detachment of Stormtroopers to that location, and equipthem with Force Identifiers," Corenth said, "if they are Force sensitive they could be useful to our operations, but if their not tell them to kill them all and burn the house to the ground."

"As you wish my lord," the officer replied, and left. Corenth resumed his meditation, and once again the same image came to him. The image of three children, two girls and a boy, but one of them seemed to have the embodiement of a Force Knight, but acted as if she didn't know.

Location: Bridge, Jedi Avenger

"Master, Master," Laz said over the comlink, "Please master come in."

"Striker here," Kyle replied

"Thank God," Laz said, to himself, "Master what's going on down there, you didn't make contact when you said you would?"

"We ran into some lifeforms," Kyle replied.

"What kind of Lifeforms master," Laz asked

"Don't know but I don't sense any signs of the Dark Side in the one I'm currently following." Kyle said

"Be careful master," Laz said, "I sense something odd about someone on that planet."

"Be mindful young Padawine," Kyle replied, "things are not always as they appear, but keep me informed of any other developments."

"Will do master," Laz answered, "out."

Location: Near the Spring Festival, Dream Valley

Kyle placed his communicater back on his belt. When Fizzy turned to see why her new friends had stopped.

"Who were you talking to?" the unicorn asked, happily

"My apprentice Laz," Kyle replied

"You mean there is another coming to the festival?" Fizzy asked

"No Fizzy," Jaina replied, "Laz is currently in command of our space ship."

"You mean you come form outer space." Fizzy said, the look on her face changing to one of interest.

"Yes in deed Miss Fizzy," C-3PO replied, "you see we came here to establish communication between your world and the Jedi-," Kyle ordered 3PO to be quiet.

"We'll discuss that later," Kyle said, turning to Fizzy, "how far is it to this Festival?"

"Not much ferther," Fizzy replied, "just wait till I tell my friends I have friends from outer space."

"Fizzy," Kit asked, "exactly what will we be doing when we get there?"

"You're all going to be playing," Fizzy said, smiling, "I'm sure my friends will like you, and you can tell us stories of your adventures in space."

"I say that does sound like fun," 3PO said patting R2 on the head.

"Yeah fun," Kyle replied, his tone sounding sour. The group continued on till they came to a clearing in the woods.

Location: Spring Festival, Dream Valley

When the group finally came out of the forest, they saw a large field full of flowers, and a huge purple castle standing in the back ground.

"Welcome to Dream Valley," Fizzy said, "I hope you enjoy yourselves."

"I'm sure we will Fizzy," Kit said, but Kyle suddenly turned to face Fizzy.

"I don't mean to rain on the parade Fizzy, but I want to know who's in charge?" Kyle asked

"Oh that can wait," Fizzy replied, "why don't you meat my friends and enjoy the festival first."

"Oh indeed master Striker," 3PO said, "I'm sure Master Luke will understand." Jaina was suddenly laughing as she also began pleeding to postpone the mission for a while, and was soon joined by Kit.

"Okay," Kyle said, smiling, knowing he had been beaten, "we'll attend the festival for a while." Fizzy began jumping for joy. As she was she notice pink pegasus North Star, and the white Unicorn Gusty approaching.

"Were have you been Fizzy?" North Star asked

"Yeah, I want to play volleyball," Gusty added

"Oh I met some new friends," Fizzy replied, pointing to the group behind her, "This is Kit, Jaina, Kyle, 3PO, and R2, they're from outer space, and they all have special powers." Gusty and North Star couldn't help but laugh.

"Yeah right good one Fizzy," Gusty said. Looking at each other with sturn looks Jania and Kyle knew what to do. They raised their hands and in a few seconds Gusty was hovering off the ground.

"Hay put me down," Gusty said, pleeding. Slowly the two Jedi lowerd the Pony to the ground.

"Never underestimate a Jedi Knight," Jaina said, smiling.

"What's a Jedi Knight?" North Star enquired.

"We're the guardians of the Jedi Empire, and of peace and justice through out the Galaxy," Kyle replied.

"And are they Jedi too," North Star said, eyeing 3PO and R2.

"No they're Droids," Kit said, smiling. Suddenly 3PO brought up the subject of them being allowed to attend the Festival.

"Sure," North Star replied, "Only if you tell us all about your worlds and demonstrate more of your magic."

"The Force isn't magic," Kyle shouted, "The Force exists in all living beings, and anyone with the proper traning can manipulate it." The other Ponies didn't answer, instead they lead the Jedi and the Droids to the Spring Festival.

Well here's chapter five, I will begin working on Chapter Six as soon as I can, PS, please let me know which one of the Little Ponies Human friends should be trained in the arts of Jedi Knighthood: Megan, Molly or Danny
