Droid parts exploded as Celestia flew over the immense metal army. She threw herself into a spin as a blaster bold whizzed by her ear. She called on her magic and sent an amber beam shooting out of her horn. More droids went down.

Celestia flared out her wings and hovered in the air. She could see the flashes of lightsabers in the distance as Master Kenobi and his Padawan pressed forward. He was a strange one, Kenobi. No apparent excitement or even reserve about this planet that he knew nothing about.

And then there was Skywalker. From what she had seen of him, he was almost Kenobi's complete opposite. Not to mention his familiar last name. Be careful, Luna. Remember your training.

BAM!

Something behind her exploded. Celestia whirled, her horror mounting. The droids had made it to the Crystal Castle. The Equestrian princess sped towards the flaming building, weaving and spinning her way through laser blasts.

"Master Kenobi!" Celestia slid past him and rammed her horn through an approaching battle droid.

The Jedi snapped out of his trance. "Celestia-the civilians."

Time seemed to go by in slow motion as the Crystal castle was pummeled by laser cannons. And there was nothing Celestia could do about it.

A piercing cry sliced through the cold air. "There!"

Finally, Anakin thought. He crested the last snowy hill and stood before an ancient, crumbling building. At his side, Luna ruffled her wings. "Follow my lead."

They walked through the temple, weapons ready. It seemed that the cold had taken all life away from the barren place. Broken down barracks and weapon rooms filled the place. It was creepy, is what it was.

Wait a minute… Anakin suddenly halted and sprinted through an arched doorway. He knelt by a pile of ashes and gently uncovered a metal cylinder. It was a lightsaber; in Old Republic style with an elaborate hilt. He noticed a small bump on it that was smeared with dirt. Once uncovered, it was a glittering ruby. Igniting the blade, Anakin turned to see that Luna had followed him. Silently they joined back with the group.

Anakin couldn't stop thinking about the new lightsaber clipped to his belt. Who's was it? Maybe the Jedi Archives would have some answers. If we ever get back.

"Wait," Anakin said, opening up to the Force. There was something strong, very strong…in that direction. "This way!"

The telepathic crystal was in a large, round room. I hope this works. Anakin thought as he plunged himself into the Force.

Grand Master Yoda was meditating when something suddenly blasted into his mind. Anakin. Danger. Near Naboo. Separatists. Then an image entered his head of a regal looking female being. It then turned into a landscape of rolling hills and clear skies. Equestria. Equestria in danger. Then a desperate plea: help.

The vision left and Yoda was left stunned. He did not even know what this Equestria was. Then a set of numbers entered his mind. Coordinates. Somehow, Anakin had reached him and he needed help.
