Once again, Rex woke up lying on the ground.

"Ugh..." Rex groaned.

Rex still had his helmet in place, and when he got up to check the rest of himself over, he saw that he was no longer in a beautiful place. He now was in a prison cell.

'How did I end up here?', Rex thought, but then he remembered what happened earlier. 'Right, that strange dark creature shot me with some kind of laser.' He still didn't know what what was happening or why he was imprisoned.

Rex decided to check his equipment, he has to make sure that everything was ok. He still had his blasters, grenades and flare which calmed him down a little.

"Seems that they have no idea what these things are." He muttered.

He walked to the door of the cell and tried looking outside. Rex could see that the corridor had no guards, but in the other cells there were many other creatures, and they were totally different from those that he had seen before. 'Ok, now I feel more strange in this place than before.' He thought.

One of the creatures looked at him with a face that bluntly showed that she wanted to kill him, but Rex just returned her gaze. "Criminal scum." He spat after a moment.

Rex was able to hear many noises out of the window of his cell, so he decided to see what it was. Rex leaned out the window and he could see many of the creatures preparing and putting decorations all over the city. Rex wasn't an expert but judging by the looks of everything, the creatures were preparing for a wedding.

'A wedding? This may be good.' Thought Rex.

He could perhaps take advantage of this; he could try to escape during the wedding, because from the looks of everything, the wedding must be important, and when the wedding begin, there will not be many guards in the city, the perfect time to try to escape. He could use a grenade to blow up the wall and get out, but he'd have take care of the force field, so for now he will have to wait.

Twilight, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Applejack and Spike were already in Canterlot. Twilight had discovered that her brother's future wife was her old childhood friend, Candace. Twilight began to suspect many strange things about her, as she was not the same anymore. Now she was bad and selfish. Even after telling her friends, they don't take her seriously. Desperate, Twilight went to Princess Celestia to talk about the other thing that is the only reason why she's still sane; the alien.

Twilight was walking through the castle looking for Princess Celestia. She was still looking until she found her in one of the million rooms that occupied the castle. "Oh, there you are, Princess!" She exclaimed, a little tired.

Celestia look back at Twilight. "Hello Twilight, I suppose you came here to ask about the captured alien, am I right?"

Twilight answered. "Yes Princess. I was not having a very good day, but maybe seeing the alien can change that. May I see it?" A grin betrayed how excited she was.

"I'm happy to see you so excited." Celestia cheerfully said, before turning to one of her guards. "Could you please escort Twilight to the prison so she could see the alien?" She asked. The guard nodded.

"Yes my Princess." He answered.

"The prison? Princess why is the alien in a prison and not in a research lab?" Twilight asked, a little concerned about the alien.

"Because the alien turned out to be dangerous when it was terrorizing the city. It got three guards hospitalized with some stranges injures. The doctors don't know what caused them, but they're better now." Celestia explained.

Twilight was surprised. "Really, well... I think I'll be okay." She said, sounding a little nervous.
"This way miss." Said the guard Celestia spoke to.

"Thank you." Twilight said, before turning to the Princess. "I will see you later, Princess." She then followed the guard outside.

"Be careful Twilight!" Celestia called out after them.

Twilight was excited as she wanted to see the alien and maybe try to communicate with it. She could end up being friends with it!

It was already dark, and in the Canterlot prison, Rex wasn't wearing his helmet any longer. But he was careful that nobody saw him, as Rex didn't want the strange creatures that locked him up in the cell see his face.

He was lying in the bed of his cell, resting a little, but he kept wondering what was happening on the battlefront. Would there be any difference without him there? He needed to get back to the fight, who knows what horrors the Separatist scum is doing? He couldn't rest or be in a cell for the rest of his life while his brothers were out there fighting. He is Captain Rex, a clone trooper, and he's forever loyal to the Republic.

Rex's thoughts were interrupted by the sound of a door opening. Letting instincts take control, Rex went for his helmet and put it back on his head, then returned to his bed. After a few seconds, two of the creatures stood at the cell entrance. One was like the rest, white with golden armor, while the other one was purple and smaller.

Rex had to admit, the purple one looked cute.

Rex noticed that the two talked a little before the armored one left the purple one alone. Rex assumed that the purple one was to talk with him, obviously in an interrogation, but Rex was not an easy person to crack. The only way he would talk is if a Sith used the Force to force him to.

The creature just looked at him with a face of both surprise and curiosity, while Rex just stared back. After a moment of looking disturbed, it started to talk.
Like the other, Rex could not understand the language, so when the purple one finished, it just stared at him, waiting for a response.

"Sorry kid, but I don't know what you are saying." He said to the creature.

After a few moments of waiting a response, the creature looked a little angry and started to yell at Rex, even though it probably knew he didn't understand.
Rex could support the first few seconds, but after a few minutes, Rex couldn't help but get tired of the annoying purple creature.

The purple one was still yelling at him , after a few seconds of staring at each other, the purple one's face grew desperate, and finally decided to leave him alone.

"Finally, now I can get some peace." Rex muttered before he took his helmet back off and lied down on the bed.

"I need some sleep." He mumbled before falling asleep.

But what Rex didn't know was that a certain dark Alicorn was watching him while he slept.

In the streets of Canterlot, Twilight was walking through the city, but she was still curious of the alien.

'Why he didn't answer my questions? Was the alien a bad kind of pony? For what Princess Celestia said, the alien was dangerous... Wait, I forgot that he's an alien, so maybe he doesn't know our language! Oh I'm so stupid!' Twilight thought, and she started to feel bad about getting angry and yelling at the alien.
'Well, maybe I can try another day. But first things first, I have to know more about Candace, and her mysterious bad personality. I better go to my brother's house.' She thought, trotting in that direction.

The next day, in the morning.

Rex had already woken up and he could hear multiple noises outside. He knew what that meant; it's time for the wedding to start.

"It's time." He muttered, taking a thermal detonator from his belt. "Now, let's get to work." He primed it and set it on the window, ready to blow it out.

"Ok, now, let's get out of this hole." He said to himself before the wall exploded, finally letting him free.

Rex was already outside. "I need to get out of here before the guards come." Rex stopped in his tracks when he noticed a large army of black creatures with holes in their legs.

They were outside the force field, looking like bugs. They reminded Rex of the Geonosians, but they looked a little less ugly. Rex knew what this was, this was about to be some kind of invasion.

"So that's why they put a force field." Rex said, the he relaxed, "Well at least they're outside, right?"

All of sudden the force field broke and the bugs entered the city.

"Why did I talk in the first place?!" Rex sighed before drawing his hand blasters and took a defensive stance. "Come on! Let's get this over with!" He yelled at the bugs before firing a couple of shots at them.
