My head hurt, my body sore, the lights in the cabin were off, except for a slow soothing red blinking coming from underneath the dash. I looked around him to check to see if anything was broken and noticed that all my screens for black, I looked out the window, I could see the multi colored light coming in, barely, through my polarized cockpit. For the moment I ignored the magnificent site one about turning all of my systems back on, my first were business was making contact with ‘Vet’.

“While this is just dandy, and for single system in here is trying to reboot at the same time,” I sighed and began trying to reboot one system that time, and being somewhat success with that, I was able to get my me display screen working again so my connection to R9 was back up and operational. I would just be waiting for him to ask if I was okay or not, or in other words waiting for him to wake up. “I hope he hasn’t received any lasting damage from this ordeal, I’d really hate end up somewhere, again, without somebody to talk to…”

After tinkering for several hours with the console’s wires I was able to get everything back online, still haven’t heard message from ’V ET’ I’m hoping he hasn’t received anything more than a slight knock out from this.

As the hours ticked by the colors started to become dim, they no longer held interest for me, save for where they were going to take me. All of a sudden the lights were gone and I was back in open space in front of me was a son his break as any other, yet the color was entrancing, warming. I then noticed I was orbiting a planet was larger than any other planet I had seen, at least one that harbored life that is.

So I set my ship on a course for the planet’s surface, I was hoping that there might be some form of intelligent life, someone that could help me or possibly tell me where I am, but you never know unless you look, so that’s what I did. I made for the dark side of the planet, or what I thought was the dark side. I sit down in a small clearing in the forest not too far from a village that I saw, is going to do a little bit of reconnaissance before he went about looked for someone to help me one to at least know who or what I was doing was before making acquaintances.

After setting down I checked on ‘Vet’ to see if he was okay.. I saw that he was going through his restart cycle, so I left her message on the main computer detailing where I was going. I then stripped out of my jumpsuit overalls and slipped on my dark colored Jedi robes. I also slung my long saber and shoto onto my belt, never know when a short saber will come in handy.

So I made my way into the forest, but the instant I set foot in it the oppressive power of the darkside hit me like a brick wall. I fell to a knee and gasped for breath as I regained my Baring. I could tell that this was not the normal feeling for the area, for it was just contained to the forest and had not spread to the clearing.

I shook my head and headed off towards the denser feeling darkness, hoping to find what had tainted the forest so. I ran through the forest, keeping still when I felt a predator come to close. After a few minutes of walking and climbing over different obstacles I came across a small group of six equines trotting through the forest, I noticed that a thick Fog was awaiting them up ahead, I kept watch to see what would happen, for it seemed that they were having a conversation among themselves.

“Twi’ are ya sure that that there Nightmare Moon went this way?” The orange equine asked, I was happy that I could understand them, for they spoke a form of basic.

“Yes Applejack, I’m sure… Just trust me…” The purple one, Twilight, said as they kept on their course with the fog.

As the group made their way to the fog it cleared to reveal a downed rope bridge. That is when I noticed that two of the equines had wings, as the cyan equine spread them and over off the ledge and grabbed the rope bridge, taking it to the other side and tying it off. Then the ‘fog’ rolled back in and obscured the equines view of their friend.

Though their view was cut short, I could clearly see, and hear, all that was going on. “Hello Rainbow Dash,” Three darkside apparitions appeared in front of the cyan equine, now known as Rainbow Dash. “WE, The Shadow Bolts, are looking for a new member, and we heard that you are the fastest flyer in Equestria,” that answered where I was… “And we were hoping that you would join us, all you have to do is leave your friends and com fly with us.” By the end of their little speech, I was confused and angry, these apparitions were trying to separate this equine from its friends in divide and conquer play… I was highly tempted to go over there and destroy them.

“It would be so great to fly with you guys, but I can’t let down my friends, I won’t leave them until we are through with our little adventure here, but if you guys can wait till after, I would be happy to fly with you.” The cyan equine said enthusiastically, the equines loyalty made my heart leap for joy, this equine was loyal enough to its friends to resist the darkside… that’s great!

“It’s a onetime offer, Dash, now or never, so either leave your friends and come with us, or stay and be forever shunned!” The leader of the three yelled to Rainbow Dash. It stepped closer to Rainbow; Rainbow stepped back and almost fell off the ledge. Did I forget to mention that there is a deep gorge behind the cyan equine… yeah; it is about three hundred feet deep and twenty feet wide.

“Sorry but no, I can’t and won’t leave my friends!” Rainbow yelled, her scratchy voice echoing through the gorge, but for some reason it didn’t reach her friends on the other side. When the three DarkSpawn started to creep forward, I took action. I stuck my hand out, embraced them in an all-encompassing force grip, and yanked them into the fog, all the way to my position in the trees on the other side. Rainbow saw them go flying but was to stunned to go looking for them, dash shook her head and looked back to her friends as the fog cleared.

I looked down to the three apparitions at my feet and waited for them to regain their baring’s. I had no sympathy towards them, they weren’t real and I did not want to deal with them any longer than need be…

“Who summoned you, Sithspawn…” My voice made them all freeze, they looked up to my feet and then kept going until they saw my face, they were afraid, something I hadn’t seen before in a Darkside creature, and that worried me.

“W-what are you?” The leader asked, shaking in its fur.

“I…” I glared at it; it shrunk down and whimpered slightly, “Will ask the questions. Now, who summoned you?” I said as calmly as possible.

“We won’t tell you creature!” The two other ones with it said in unison, from their voices I could tell that the leader was female while these two were male, or it could be reversed I couldn’t tell with their suits on them. I looked at them and pinned them down with the force, restraining their movements.

“Be quiet ghost, or I will end you.” They all whimpered then, the leader out of fear, while the other two did so out of pain. “Now, as I said, who summoned you…”

“Nightmare Moon did, she is our master… please don’t kill us!” The female ghost begged at my feet.

“I will not Destroy you Sithspawn, but you will disappear from this plane, are we clear?” I stared down at them, all three were shaking their heads as fast as they could, not wanting to incur my further wrath. The entire situation left a sour taste in my mouth, I was usually not as dark in my dealings with creatures, dark or otherwise… it must have been the forest messing with my head.

“Now I shall be gone…” They looked at me as I used the force to augment my legs and jump over the gorge like it was nothing, they gaped and whimpered slightly after seeing an impossible feat of arms that I pulled off. I chased off after the six equines, hoping that nothing else had happened to them.

I made my way up a long stone road, it ended at the gates to a large decaying castle, and it was about as large as the temple on Yavin… However, this place was nowhere near as well taken care of. I walked by the down front gates and made my way to the large double doors; they stood a good ten feet tall and were inlayed with many different elements ranging from obsidian to gold. I squeezed through a gap in the doors, it was pry left from the equines that I was following and helping. I went down a few corridors in the castle and started to hear voices bounce off the walls ahead of me; I could make out the voice of twilight and the others, but the booming voice I heard I couldn’t place.

I crouched down and made my way into what appeared to be the throne room, I stuck to the shadows so that I could surprise any of the enemies my unwitting allies may face. That’s when I saw the center of the Darkside vortex, it was a larger equine, it stood at about six foot, just shy of my height, six foot four. It bore a black and dark blue set of armor that covered its body, and by its sleek body structure I could tell that it was female.

“Bow before me, Nightmare Moon! The night will last forever, and nothing you do will stop me!” The black equine bellowed to the six smaller ones, they shank back a little, but held the determined look on their faces.

“We will defeat you Nightmare! Right, Girls!” Twilight looked behind her to her friends, they all shouted in assent as they stared down the larger equine in front of them. The larger equine laughed and pointed a hoof at them.

“You think you can defeat me, The Nightmare Moon! How foolish!”

“We can, and we will! For we have, The Elements of Harmony!” Twilight said triumphantly as she floated over five grey orbs floated out of a bag on her side and rested in front of her. The look on Nightmare Moons face was one of fear and anger.

‘This must be a weapon of some kind… I wonder what it does… And did she just float those?!’ I looked closely at all of the equines in the room, of the six only two had wings, one of which being Rainbow Dash, and two had horns, one being Twilight. The other two didn’t have either, but they were just as determined as the other four. Nightmare Moon on the other hand had both a horn and a pair of wings, not to mention her armor.

The five orbs began to glow a bright white when they suddenly dimmed and fell to the ground. Everyone was stunned, save me, and left speechless because of it. Recovering first Nightmare Moon snatched them up, teleporting them over to her feet.

“You foolish Ponies, you thought that such an old artifact as the Elements could harm me! How foolish!” She barked out a laugh and stomped on the five orbs, shattering them into dust. The six, Ponies now, gasped in horror at the spectacle and backed up a good five feet.

“That shouldn’t have been possible! They were the ultimate tool! They couldn’t have broken that easily!” Twilight cried out in frustration. “Girls we need to come up with a new plan… the elements are useless now…” They all nodded their heads and stared back at Nightmare Moon expectantly.

“Now, I shall destroy you for your insolence, little Ponies!” She charged her horn and launched a large boulder at the group… but it never made it, instead it went flying into the side of a wall, shattering the wall and itself into little pieces.

“Who goes there?! Show yourself!” Nightmare shouted to the shadows, she was looking everywhere, a deathly look in her eyes promising eternal retribution for whoever stepped in. As if I cared.

The other ponies were looking round as well, hoping that they didn’t have to fight two evil giants at the same time. That’s when I walked out into the moon light, My body was aglow with it, detailing all my being, everything from my dark brown hair to my light tan complexion. Even my dark cloths, my brown robe, black tabard, and dark crimson tunic were also visible; I cut an intimidating image in the night light.

“It was I, I am the one that stopped you from hurting these young ones… Now stand down…” I stared right into her eyes, not even flinching as she glared daggers at me. The other six just backed up and looked on with fear and awe, not daring to get any closer to me.

“Twilight,” At the sound of her name the purple equine flinched and nodded her head, recognizing my words. “Take your friends and come up with a new plan to confront her with, I will buy you six some time… now hurry.” They looked at me in confusion for a few moments before disregarding what I had said and forming a half circle in front of me. This threw me for a loop, why are they disregarding what I had said… it made no sense.

“Sorry but this is our fight, we appreciate the help, but we can do this ourselves.” Rainbow dash said proudly as she puffed out her chest.

“I agree with her surgarcube, New just let us do what we came here to do.” Applejack said as she glared at Nightmare, whom was also glaring right back.

“I don’t care which of you fools challenge me, I will destroy you all!” her horn glowed a dark blue, suddenly the yellow pink haired one went sailing back towards a pile of jagged rocks. Faster than the rest of them could react I shot off towards the pink haired pony and caught her; I used the force to stop us from hitting the pile of rubble. The rest of them had just realized that their friend was missing when she cried out in joy and fear and started holding onto me for dear life.

“It’s ok little one,” I said soothingly, “Everything is alright, the big bad Sithspawn won’t hurt you anymore.” I set her down on the ground and helped her calm down. “Now, please let go so I can stop the evil creature from hurting anyone else, okay?” She nodded her head furiously and let go, but still clung to my shadow like a child to its mothers hem.

The rest of the girls came rushing over and began crying and hugging the yellow pony. While they embraced her I glared at the dark nexus of energy known as Nightmare Moon.

“You will not harm another one of them… Is that clear?” I asked, raising an eyebrow as I did so.

“And what if I did, what would you do?” She asked me arrogantly. She thought that she had all the power in this little game of hers, but she knew that I was a wild card and had no knowledge of my abilities.

“I’ll be frank with you… I would cut off your wings, snap your horn and then break each of your legs… and then break your mind… Sound fun?” I gave her the sweetest smile I could muster, the look of abject horror on her face was priceless, even though I would never willingly do those things, it was rather joyous to see such fear on the blood mongers face.

“Would you really do that…” The ponies next to me asked in a quiet tone, not wanting to sound afraid, even though I could sense their fear in the force.

“No,” I whispered back, “ I would never do that to anyone, or thing… it’s just not in me to willingly torture another living thing…” This seemed to calm them down from their fear induced high.

“Now Nightmare, will you go quietly… or….” I let the rest of my words, none existent and others wise, speak for themselves.

“You dare threaten ME! THE Nightmare Moon!” She bellowed, the entire castle shook as she began ripping pieces of the castle asunder and tossing them at me and the girls. I sighed and just swatted each piece away with the fore when it got close enough. Not even earning a sweat from the slight exertion.

“Nightmare, this is you last warning… Turn yourself in or I will come over there and force you to submit…” I glared at the black horned and winged pony and sighed after a few minutes of inaction. “Very well then… the hard way it is.”

“Yes, the hard way…” the malicious smile on her face did little to waver my mood; it wasn’t the first time I had dealt with those that thought themselves stronger than me… I was not an arrogant man… I knew my limits… but there were few that could test them… My masters being chief amongst them, Ben was also on that list… but that was more for rivalries sake than anything else.

She then launched a gout of Lightning at me, it was blue and black in color and it reeked of the Darkside. I brought my hands up and caught it all in the palms of my hands, turning the dark energy into something not as destructive. The act of me catching the lightning caused all of the equines to gasp, and NmM to howl in anger. I then chucked the ball of energy back at NmM in the form of a force push; it tossed her like a ragdoll, right into the back wall.

“Girls, now would be a good time to come up with a none violent way of dealing with this.” I say rather calmly, I could keep this up for days, but we didn’t have that much time. I could feel the Darkside affecting all of us as time wound on.

“You insolent worm!” The ruble from Nightmare’s crash came flying towards us, I quickly force pushed the ponies out of the way and drew my Lightsaber. I then began batting away the incoming projectiles as they came in range. I either obliterated them with a swing or deflected them into the ground where they broke up easily.

“How many tricks do you have creature!” She bellowed at me before launching herself at me. I used the force to push myself to the side and out of the way. This enraged the black pony even farther as she swung her fore hooves at me in an attempt to cut me with her armored appendages.

I went to cut one of her legs off at the knee, my lightsaber connected with her knee brace… and stopped. I was shocked, not very many metals known to the universe can stop a lightsaber… but cortosis can… and apparently, these ponies made their armor out of the stuff.

“Shit…” She then hit me in the head with her right hoof while her left sucker punched me in the gut, earning a retching noise from me. She then laid into me, pummeling my body with hit after hit until I pushed her away and force jumped up through the ceiling, landing on the roof.

“Getting tired, creature…” she huffed at me with a smile plastered on her face.

“No, but you are…” I coughed and spit out a wad of blood and mucus. I was bleeding from several different places on my body, my clothes torn in to many places to count; my robe was destroyed so I tossed it to the side and gave it a wavering look as I sighed. It had been with me for many years, acting as my badge as a Jedi, but it was too destroyed for it to act as such now.

Then I felt a tug on my body, it was not pleasant, I then went sailing through the air and right into the ground. I hit the ground hard enough for a small crater to appear, but I had used enough of the force to soften my landing, I groaned as I was lifted up into the air.

“It seems you are able to be manipulated by my magic… let’s see how much you can take… before you break!” She laughed evilly and started throwing me about the room, bouncing me off of other objects and slamming me into walls, it went on for what felt like hours, but what was really a few minutes. At last she tried to throw me into the six ponies I had earlier defended, I used the force to push them out of the way as I went sailing through the wall where they had been just moments ago. The entire time they had all been crying out at each impact I received, but now they were openly crying as they swarmed over my seemingly broken body.

“It seems you can take quite a bit of punishment… But… it is time you died creature!” She began to charge her horn, as I began to stand up I was told by the girls to just sit down, that I wasn’t in any shape to stand. Well, they were right I wasn’t, but I had to defend them, it was my duty to defend the innocent and punish the evil.

I then looked over at Nightmare Moon… she was smile so widely that I thought it would split her face. I slowly raised my right hand to her, at first limp and unresponsive, then I made a griping gesture with my hand. The glow around her horn stopped and her eyes began to bulge, she even started to cough.

“How does it feel...*cough*… to be at the mercy of another…*cough*…Nightmare… do you like it?” I asked as I kept on chocking the life out of her, she was quaking and trembling in fear at this sudden turn of events. “I told you I would end you, I am Jedi, Guardian of the Galaxy and all its inhabitants… You shall not harm another hair on their heads… OR I will kill you… Are we clear?!” My eyes started to glow yellow and become bloodshot. Nightmare just stared into my unholy eyes and began to whimper as I lessoned my grip on her lungs and throat.

“Yes…*cough*…I pri…*cough*…mise to not harm them…” She fell to the ground when I let go, rubbing her hoof over her throat as I turned away from her. (Note to all of you other guys out there… don’t turn your back on a newly downed opponent… they may just stab you in the back.) As I walked away I felt a sharp pain in my back and stomach, I looked down and saw the tip of a black horn protruding from the center of my stomach. I slid forward off the horn and fell to my knees; everything then started to move in slow motion. The girls’ faces were all different looks of fear and horror at what had just happened, some still reacting to my way of dealing with Nightmare and others with what had just befallen me.

“NOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooo!” Their screech echoed though my head as I fell on my face, it didn’t hurt that much… but then again I couldn’t feel anything. They all looked at the laughing form of Nightmare moon, they were angry, they knew what they had to do now, suddenly their necks began to glow, surprising all of them, and necklaces took form on their throats, each one with a different symbol as the stone in the center. Twilight, on the other hand, had a tiara on her head with a purple-pink star, they looked at each other then back at Nightmare moon and grinned.

“Now, we have the elements of harmony… we will end your evil rule Nightmare Moon!” Twilight and rest start to float in the air as a pale rainbow colored orb of energy forms around them. The energy they are creating is immense, I could even sense it in my pain induced inebriation. The sphere formed into a solid ball of energy and centered itself in the center of the girls, Nightmare moon was rooted to her spot in horror and fear, so much so that it left a foul taste in my mouth after feeling it in the force.

The sphere then shot off and slammed into Nightmare, it morphed to her body and began to dematerialize her, but that wasn’t all that happened. As the darkness left Nightmare, a new being was reviled underneath the Dark Mare. A dark blue coat and a lighter dark blue mane were becoming apparent on the evil mare; her ‘death’ screams were reverberating off the walls and stinging the ears of those that could hear it.

There was a bright flash and the Dark one was no more. What was left in her place was a small child pony, a filly I think they’re called. The girls all fell to the ground, slightly drained from the efforts of using the Elements. I used the force to give my body strength and start the healing process, Thank you Master Cilghal for those healing lessons all those years ago! As I made my way over to the now crying filly my body healed, not as fast as if I was doing it on someone else, but fast enough.

The others were to dazed by the over excursion to even comprehend what was happening, which was fine by me. I got as close to the little filly as I could and wrapped a tattered arm around her. During my time as a human punching bag, I had broken both of my arms and legs, along with most of my ribs, but I still was able to wrap one around the crying filly and comfort her.

“Its ok little one, no one is going ot harm you now… the darkness is gone and it won’t ever come back… Okay?” the filly wrapped her fore legs around my neck and hugged me fiercely, crying into my bloodied shoulder profusely.

“Sshh, it’s ok, it’s ok, it’s ok, there, there,” she sobbed and wailed into my shoulder, not showing any hint as to when she was going to stop. I propped myself up on a piece of rubble and pulled the sobbing filly into my lap and held her, not unlike an infant.

“What are you doing?” Twilight asked, she and the girls had over come their dizzy spell and trotted over to me. Twilight had this look of total disbelief on her face, which now looking at it was more humanoid than equine.

“I am comforting this little one after having to deal with what happened…” I smiled softly as the child in my arms started to snore.

“But she tried to kill you, multiple times!” She screeched, somehow not waking the filly.

“Twilight… I am a guardian of the peace… And this little one had been possessed… I am ashamed of what I had done to her now that I know…” I looked down at the filly sadly, remembering my strangle hold I had had on her not to long ago.

“WE,” I motioned to the little filly and me. “Need to get to a hospital… I’m bleeding out and she is malnourished.” I began to get up, keeping the filly tight to me with the force.

“There is no need to get up, my dear, I will help you.” A white winged and horned equine sailed down to us. I was slightly apprehensive about this new equine, but the look on the other little ones faces made me calm down some, they were bowing and showing difference to this one… and twilight was smiling like an idiot. I could sense her love for the white one through the force, and the white ones love for her. It was touching… but I was still bleeding.

“If you say you can help… then we need to get to a hospital… now.” I was leaning against one of the few remaining pillars in the throne room after my little stint as a ragdoll. I moved the dark blue filly to my shoulder, holding her with my right broken arm, I pointed to the slight gaping hole in my stomach. This made a few of the ponies either faint or hurl, I really didn’t care. The white equine paled slightly, which was odd for her being that very color… but I wasn’t going to fight my eyes on that one.

“You are injured…” the white one said.

“No, kriffing du… Now can we please go before I die of blood loss…?” The white one nodded her head slowly and there was a bright flash of light.

_

I blinked the spots out of my eyes and saw that we were now in a waiting room at a hospital, there were more ponies scurrying around that one would normally think.

“Princess Celestia, what a pleasure to have you here with us, how may we help you?” A brown pony in a lab coat said as he walked into the room.

“I need you to heal this poor creature here…” she pointed a hoof in my direction, I waved my broken arm at him, it made a sickening noise as it snapped sideways, you know… straight elbow bent forearm kind of sideways. Celestia and the doctor blanched at that, I almost fell to my knees with the pain it caused me… but held true, keeping the little one in my arms from touching the floor.

“Um… what is your name creature…?” Celestia asked me, I was not entirely there so I answered in full.

“My name is Ryan Reiks, Jedi Kni-Master and apprentice to Jedi Grand Master Luke Skywalker of the New Jedi Order.” I walked over to one of the walls and leaned against it, still holding the snoring filly in my arms, technically the force, but who cares.

“Well then Ryan, if you would follow Doctor Stich here, we can get you patched up.” Celestia walked over to me and gave me a warm smile. “I can take her from you now, I will take care of her.” She said nodding to the filly in my arms.

“Sorry Celestia… but I can’t do that…” this shocked everyone in the room, even Celestia.

“Why not?” she asked

“I need to be there when she wakes up… I need to apologize for what I did to her…” I looked down at the filly and grimaced.

“Why… what did you do?” She asked me, apprehension thick in her voice.

“Though she nearly killed me, I held back… and even then I almost ended her life… One little twist of my hand and I would have killed this little one… or even choked the life out of her…” tears started to pour down my face; most of them from the sadness gripping my heart, the rest were from the pain.

“Ryan… I do not hold any of that against you… you didn’t know… But may I please see my little sister… it has been to long since I have seen her…” Celestia was on the verge of tears after what I had told her, she was pry afraid I was going to kill her sister once she awakened or something.

“If you wish… but she isn’t leaving my arms… I need to heal the damage done to her mind…” at that Celestia gave me a warm smile and then a confused look, but nodded after an internal debate.

“Very well…” I lowered my arms so that she could see, even though she was a little bit taller than I was; pry about six foot eight or something like that.

“She is so small…” She looked at me and I shrugged my shoulders slightly. She looked over her smaller sister for some time, we were making our way to the operating room where they would stitch me up… hopefully.

“Here we are sir… please just lay on the table here and we will get to work…” I looked over at the small table and sighed. I got up on it and laid back, setting the little one on my chest while doing so.

“Sir, the filly cannot be near your wound… you need to place her somewhere else…”

“I will remove the filly once the sun goes dark and the core worlds are in ruin… So what does that tell you?” I gave him sturn look, he gulped and went about prepping the area for surgery.

“Sir, we need to sedate y-“ I cut him off with a glare.

“You will do no such thing… I know it will hurt… but I WILL handle it… clear?” He shook his head vigorously and went to work, I heard his mumbling and took note that the horn puncture hadn’t hit any vitals… so they could just stitch up the busted bits and put me in a room for a bit… But the whole damned surgery hurt like a kriffing bitch, it felt like he was shoving a lightsaber into my insides and swirling them about!

“Sir, we have stitched up everything… you are going to need bed rest for the next five days or so…” The doctor told me nervously, hell I would be nervous to if a being that was taller than your fucking princess was pissed at you. The entire time I was in surgery the girls from earlier had been waiting in the hallway with the princess, though the princess had been in the room until my cursing had reached a new high… I don’t think even a hut would have lasted against my tirade of colorful curses I had used…

The doctor went out of the room and told them that I was going to be placed in a room for the next five or so days and told them to wait there for me. Going against all medical procedure I got up off the bed, walked to the door, and opened it, still using my broken arms and legs to get around. I would just heal them later with the force…

“Hi guys…” the doctor screamed and fell on his back twitching, Rainbow dash and the pink one laughed at his girly scream and then looked back at me, both going slightly red in the face along with everyone else.

“Um… something wrong guys?” I looked at them and then to myself… I was completely butt ass naked… and Jr. was standing at high alert for everyone to see… and the fact that he was at eye level for the girls was highly embracing. Giving a slight yelp I used the force to levitate a sheet over to me and wrap it around my body, hiding my shame from the rest of the world.

“Well, that was embarrassing… well let’s get me to my room… I have a few broken limbs and ribs to fix…” my grimace told them to get the fuck out of the way. I led a small march to an open room and sat myself down on the open bed; I closed the partition and unwrapped the sheet. I then used the sheet to wipe the blood and other bits of myself off my body. I then got in the bed and sat the filly down in the crook of my arm, holding her like a newborn.

“Alright, you all can come in…” the Girls and Celestia trotted in, moving the partition so they could get through, but leaving it up to give us some privacy.

“Okay, pardner, whats yer name?” Apple jack asked me, I was slightly tired but didn’t mind the round of question that were no doubt coming my way.

“I’m Ryan Reiks… Jedi Master and Apprentice to Master Skywalker.” I told her.

“What are these ‘Jedi’ you keep refering to yourself as… are they on a different part of our world, hence the reason I have never seen you?” Celestia asked, her question mimicking many of theirs.

“Jedi… they are an order of beings that has been around for over fifty thousand years….” All of them went a little bug-eyed at that, but let me continue. “this order has been destroyed and rebuilt countless times… I am a part of the latest Jedi order… there are currently over five thousand of my fellow Jedi roaming galaxy,” at the word galaxy both Twilight’s ears and Celestia’s, perked up.

“You said…Galaxy, right?” Twilight asked me, slightly nervous bout my answer.

“Yes… But I know that you are not apart of that galaxy… for I recognize none of the stars… But where I am from there are trillions of beings on billions of worlds, almost everyone of them are a different species and culture… sometimes several in one… But the Jedi protect all of them… We are like the Galactic peace bringers… keeping order and harmony between all those who live there…” I sighed and leaned back in the bed, keeping a protective arm on the blue filly.

“My word…” they were all wide eyed at the knowledge that I was an alien and that there were more aliens out there, twilight and The white smaller pony fainted fro the knowledge while the others just looked at me as if I had grown a second head.

“I’m sorry everyone… but I need to get my rest… I need to heal my wounds…” I said to them, trying to get them to leave, but upon hearing this twilight woke up and started back up.

“But we have so many questions for you!” she started to raise her voice, the little bundle in my arms began to stir also, so I clamped my hand around Twilights muzzle, giving her the shush motion afterwards.

“Now go, I need to heal and cleanse this fill…” Celestia cut me off.
