Arcane yawns as he lays in bed and ideally plays on his omnitool with the games from uncle Spike. "Come on. I already have a steady income of food." He said trying to fix the trade routes between the cities. "How does uncle Spike do this?"

"Patience and lots of time on them." Spike said, suddenly coming on the screen.

"Uncle Spike!" Arcane suddenly sat up and then looked confused. "Um…what are you doing in my game?"

"Suit up kid. You're getting a mission on your father's orders." Spike says fixing the food problem behind the scene.

Arcane blinks confused. "My dad's orders?"

"Yeah. Put together a team. Here is who is available." Spike says sending him a list.

Arcane tilts his head at the ones on the list. "Some of these guys haven't even gotten their saber yet."

"Yeah, these are the ones who are available." Spike says before Arcane sees Venator's name.

"What's the mission anyway?" Arcane asks putting him on the team choices.

"Tracking and possible elimination mission." Spike says.

Arcane hums. "I see." He said also choosing Azure. "Anything noteworthy?"

"I will inform you later." Spike says as Arcane choose the twins, Lightning and Rainbow as well as Sunrise.

Arcane sighs and looks over the list before nodding and sends it before getting a message that they have received their messages and looks back to the game to see the food problem fixed. "Thanks, uncle." He said saving it and closing his omnitool and gets up to get ready.

Arcane then gets a call on his omnitool and answers it. "Bro, what is this about?" Sunrise asks looking like he just got done working out.

Arcane smiles. "You're coming with me and a few other brothers and sister on a mission. Think you're up for it?"

"Well…" Sunrise says looking back to the training equipment bent in an odd way or falling apart now. "…yeah, I think so."

Arcane chuckles. "If you're worried about it being replaced and need the credits, I'm sure what we get on the way will help pay. Get ready man. I'll see you at the launch pad."

"Hey, mom." Sunrise calls walking away and ends the call.

Arcane shakes his head. "Oh, little bro." He said to himself as he grabs his armor and thinks to what form he should be. "Auntie Terra can change, but for now…I'll take both." He said getting his clothes on his regular pony form and packs away his human form clothing and armor and gets his weapons from the racks nearby before heading out.

"You rang?" Spectrum asks opening Arcane's door.

Arcane blinks at her as he stops. "What?" He asks confused.

"You called me for something." Spectrum says.

Arcane points to her leg with a hoof. "The message was supposed to tell what is going on."

"It just says…avengers assemble." Spectrum says flatly.

Arcane groans. "Dang it uncle Spike. He was the one who made the message systems. The worst idea of the message ever."

"We going to the movies?" Lightning asks poking his head in.

Arcane hits his head as he makes another message. "Nope. Mission. Detective style."

"Ah, that is why I am here. To keep my twin in check to not blow everything up." Spectrum says.

"Hey."

"You know it is true." Spectrum says.

"Hey. So what's up?" Azure asks appearing from the ceiling and hanging upside down.

"Mission. I sent out a new message." Arcane says.

Azure shakes his head. "You have to do the messages better."

"Sunrise!" Spitfire calls.

"Yeah, mom?" Sunrise calls back.

"Get back here!" Spitfire calls.

"Mom, I have to go. At least I can get equipment." Sunrise calls back.

"I am going to yell at you for hours for this!" Spitfire yells.

"Mom, calm down. It won't be that bad." Sunrise argued.

"You wrecked the training equipment again!" Spitfire yells.

"I can pay for it!" Sunrise yells.

"Not good enough!" Spitfire yells chasing him.

"I'll fix it and pay for it!" Sunrise yells as he keeps running.

"Gotcha." Spitfire calls catching him.

"I'll pay and fix. I'll pay and fix." Sunrise pleaded as he tries to get out of her grip.

"You still need more training. You didn't even think to use your wings." Spitfire says hugging him now.

Sunrise blinks. "Huh?"

"You have wings, use them you." Spitfire says lightly tapping his head.

Sunrise was still confused before starting to flap his wings. "Um…what's going on with you mom?"

"I am seeing you off before you go off on your mission. I have your omnitool set to message me when you are assigned one." Spitfire says.

Sunrise frowns. "You hacked my omnitool?"

"No, it was put in before you even got that one." Spitfire says.

"Ok Spitfire, let Sunrise go." Blitz says.

Spitfire drops him and smiles. "You have to love preordering."

"Yeah, now please come with me. I have something I want to talk to you about and let's let him prepare." Blitz says.

Spitfire nods and walks with him. "What about?"

"Oh, for starters, how sexy you are." Blitz teases.

Spitfire wraps a wing around him. "Blitzy."

"And you forget what today is?" Blitz asks.

Spitfire blinks. "Birthday?"

"Today is flight training day and someponies are waiting for you." Blitz reminds.

Spitfire grins. "Awesome. Where shall the flight take place my good stallion?" She jokes in a different accent.

"Just listen for little Blaze and Burnout calling for their mom." Blitz teases.

Spitfire giggles and quickly flies off. "I'm coming my foals."

"There you go Sunrise." Blitz says.

Sunrise sighs in relief. "Thanks, dad."

"Don't get hurt ok?" Blitz asks patting his back.

Sunrise nods. "You got it, dad."

"Off I go." Blitz says before changing into a pegasus and flies after Spitfire.

Arcane sighs. "Okay, guys. Go get your gear. We are heading to the system where it began." He said before walking off with his bags.

"Where we hunted the Rancor?" Lightning asks excitedly.

Arcane nods. "We are not landing on the planet. Just in the system. We are backtracking where these guys came from."

"But the trail would be cold by now." Venator comments.

"And what do you intend to use to get there?" Spectrum asks.

Arcane stops and blinks before frowning as he looks to his omnitool. "Huh, not bad dad." He said to himself as he sees he has the codes to the airship.

"If I am doing this, we are going to Omega first. I have a few things to do." Azure says.

Arcane sighs. "Care to tell what?"

"Mandalorian business." Azure says.

Arcane rubs his head. "Fine. Just go get your things."

"There they go." Blitz says watching the ship leave.

Twilight smiles as she watches through the camera on the screen. "Well, I might expect that trouble maker group soon. Hope I can help at least."

"If Azure is there, they should be ok. He is experienced." Blitz says as Blaze sits on his head, hiding from his mom.

Twilight hums. "I see. Don't count the others out, though."

"For a leadership role." Blitz says spying Spitfire and Vinyl couched and sneaking up from Blaze's blindspot.

Twilight grins as they both reach up and grab Blaze and hug him as Blitz chuckles. "Well they have their own quirks, but don't say it like that sometimes. You say it like you are playing favorites."

"I'm talking about their experiences." Blitz says.

Twilight hums. "Best be careful Blitzy." She said before looking to the side. "Meeting time. Got to go." She said before ending the call.

'Hope you have a good time.' Blitz messages her before looking to Vinyl and Spitfire.

"Blitzy, we need the tickle monster." Vinyl orders.

"Coming." Blitz says turning human form and walks over to the three.

Arcane stared at the screen as he kept playing the frames backward each time and kept changing cameras. "Come on. You don't appear out of thin air."

"Arcane, get off the computer and come on. We have docked already!" Spectrum calls.

Arcane groans and shuts off the computer. "Coming!" He calls as he gets up and heads out.

"Locking down." Azure says as the ship sealed its entrances.

Arcane shakes his head. "I could have stayed. I need to review the footage anyway."

"Stop griping and come on. Ok, two things we have to do first. We have to hunt this bounty." Azure says sending them a contract for sixty thousand credits. "And second. Talk to Malgus, a supplier for our clan." Azure informs.

Arcane rolls his eyes. "Let's get on with it."

"Arcane, you got something to say?" Azure asks not sounding happy.

Arcane stares at him. "No, big brother."

"No, no, say it." Azure says.

Arcane shakes his head. "There is nothing to say."

"No, there is. So say it." Azure says.

Arcane stares at him before walking past him. "Find out on your own." He said, still in pony form, as he heads to Aria's Afterlife.

"Arcane, stay." Azure says.

"Not the boss." Arcane calls back as he still walks.

"Brother, don't fraction the team before we even start." Spectrum says before dragging him by his horn.

"Hey! Ow!" Arcane yells out as was pulled along. "Am I always going to be under you guys?!"

"That is it huh? You don't like it if you are not in charge?" Venator asks hurting Arcane, coming from him of all of them.

Arcane frowns. "I was given a mission here and I intend to finish it before doing anything else."

"We are going to get supplied." Azure scolds.

Arcane huffs. "And you guys didn't grab your gear?"

"We did, but remember lesson two?" Azure asks.

Arcane groans. "Always be prepared. Now let me go."

"Will you behave big brother and not throw a hissy fit?" Spectrum asks.

"Fine. Let me go." Arcane said frowning.

Spectrum lets him go as he rejoins the group.

"So what makes you think he is here?" Arcane asks rubbing his horn.

"A reliable source told me so." Azure says scanning the crowd for any bounties.

Arcane rolls his eyes. "Right. Source."

'Arcane, behind you.' Azure sends a message with a rodian bounty with eight thousand credits.

Arcane frowns. 'Dead or alive?'

'Alive, use the wire.' Azure sends.

Arcane huffs as he lights up his horn. "This better be it." He said as a wire comes out of his bag before flinging it towards the rodian and wraps him up before pulling. "Cause I still have things to do." Arcane said pulling him up and pushing him towards Azure.

"Your capture. You get to take him to the bounty office." Azure says letting Arcane know he did that on purpose to start building his reputation.

"Tch." Arcane huffs as he hauls the rodian away. "Don't bother escaping. I can have the wire squeeze you to pieces."

"You did that on purpose didn't you?" Venator asks.

Azure nods. "He's a lot more emotional, but that gives him the locked away magic to come out. Even dad worries about getting him angry."

"So we wait here then." Spectrum asks.

Azure shakes his head. "I have a feeling Arcane is going to go off on his own after this. Come on. Let's get our supplies." He said walking away.

"I'm back." Arcane says walking up.

"Wow. He's fast." Venator said.

"Yep, so where is the target?" Arcane asks.

"Rundown district here. He is moving into Aria's turf one day." Azure says.

Arcane shrugs. "Then let's go."

"Let's go." Azure says leading them.

"Aria, some…ponies to see you." A batarian says.

Aria hums. "Send them in." She said idly messing around on her omnitool.

"Hey, Aria. I believe you know our father." Azure says.

Aria doesn't look up. "Is that the bounty?"

"Your people can verify him." Azure says as a batarian scanned him.

Aria nods and quickly takes out her gun and shoots him in the head without looking. "Don't need to see much. That scar is a dead giveaway for me." She said before looking at the dead body on the ground. "No offense." She said coyly.

"As long as we get paid, we don't care." Arcane says.

Aria's omnitool beeps. "I don't go back on my deals. So why not have a chat?" She asks turning it off and leans back on her favorite couch.

"All yours. I'm heading to the bar." Arcane said walking away.

Azure shakes his head as he and the others sit down. "Moody as long as we can remember."

Aria raises an eyebrow. "Are sure it's not because of your harsh leadership?" She asks looking at him and he stares at her. "Oh don't act innocent. I know the look your father has."

Azure frowns. "He's just moody."

"Or maybe it's the piece you just added onto an unsteady pile. I can tell the kid's got a lot on his mind. He doesn't need drag in his flight." Aria said looking to them all.

"When did you become a poet?" Spectrum asks raising an eyebrow.

Aria shrugs. "Two years ago. You can thank your father for that."

Arcane stares at the empty shot glass he thinks to the footage. "Staring at it isn't going to fill it up. I need credits for that." The batarian bartender said.

Arcane huffs. "I'll take some." He said sending some credits.

The batarian smiles and slides over two glasses to which Arcane looks to the human next to him. "Don't drink that. There's something in it." Arcane said before he stares into the filled glass.

"Yeah, a drink." The human says a little drunk.

Arcane shakes his head. "Here. Go right ahead buddy." The batarian said sliding over another glass.

Arcane huffs before taking the shot glass away and slides it over to him by his magic.

"Whoa, you a Jedi?" The guy asks.

Arcane raises an eyebrow to him. "Do I look like a fucking Jedi to you?" He asks as his wings flutter while partially under his cloak.

"Yes." The guy says drunkenly.

Arcane just pushes him in the head with a hoof and he tips over and snores on his back. "Foal." He said before looking to the bartender. "Try poisoning them on the Citadel and maybe we'll have a talk."

The batarian frowns. "I'm not poisoning anyone."

Arcane slides over the glass to him. "Then drink it. I'll pay for it."

"I don't drink my own product." The batarian says.

"Oh, so how long until you poison the turians too?" Arcane calls out, getting a turian high-ranking gang member to walk up.

"What's this about poisoning turians?" He asks glaring at them.

Arcane points to the batarian. "He makes his own product. Take what you will from that." He said getting the attention of a nearby dancer.

"Excuse me? What is going on?" A dancer asks behind him.

Arcane sighs. "Look, lady, I'm not interested…" He stops as he turns around and sees nothing.

"Down here."

Arcane looks down and goes wide-eyed at the sight of a mare wearing the dancer outfit. "Wha…?"

The mare chuckled. "Hello." She said waving a hoof.

"I said answer me Forvan!" The turian demands.

The mare grins. "Bet you're wondering how one of your own kind ended up as a dancer on Omega huh?"

Arcane nods dumbly.

The mare giggles. "Well…oh my, are you an alicorn?" She asks spying his wings as she thought he was a unicorn.

Arcane groans. "What about it?" He asks thinking back to the gold diggers on his planet.

The mare giggles even more. "You must be the prince. I got a special just for you. Seventy-five percent off. Come on. Unless you want another species?" She asks nodding her head to the group of dancers of humans and Asari mostly near the back.

Arcane rolls his eyes. "Fine. I'll pay whatever for an hour."

"You want a piece of me? I'll leave you corpse for the vorcha." The batarian said taking out his pistol and aiming at Arcane before the turian shot him.

The mare leans over. "Oh, ponyfeathers. We lose more staff that way."

"Better that than to lose more customers." The turian says before sending a report to Aria.

Arcane shakes his head and looks to the mare. "Let's go." He said using his magic to tip the poisoned glass over the dead body as he walks away with her.

Arcane shakes himself as he enters a private room and sits down on the couch as the mare locks up the room before looking to Arcane who was messing around on his omnitool. "Recording this or just bored?"

Arcane shakes his head. "Don't really want to do anything to you. You can sit down or just do whatever. I just wanted to get away from the noise."

The mare shakes her head. "Rumors were true." She said sitting down on the edge of the bed.

Arcane looks to her. "Rumors?"

The mare smirks. "That you were finally giving up on mares after such a long time of bad dates and now are pinning for stallions."

Arcane frowns. "That is a dead lie."

The mare giggles. "Kidding. Wanted to make sure that you are not proving yourself."

Arcane rolls his eyes before going back to his omnitool. "So…what brought you here?"

The mare smiles as she kicks her legs around. "Well…heard about space out here and hoped to make a dream out here. You can see the results."

Arcane shakes his head. "Classic movie story."

The mare shrugs. "It's a living. At least I make more credits here."

Arcane sighs. "Hey…have you heard anything about a base being attacked? Maybe a quarian one?"

"No, but I heard some ships went missing in around the Andus system." The mare says.

Arcane stops and looks at her. "Really? Well, that's good to know." He said noting it down.

The mare giggles. "So…no fun huh? How about a dance? You did pay for an hour."

Arcane shakes his head. "Think of this hour as your break. I figure you can use it…how many and what type of customers did you have?" He asks a bit worried.

The mare shrugs. "They see ponies as exotic and highly flexible. Humans, gentle…sometimes. Krogens, those guys are tough. Turians, really an explorer type. Vorcha, biters. Batarians, same as humans. And let's not forget the quarians and hanar, just…weird."

Arcane blinks surprised as he tries to go back to his work. "I see. So living the fun life."

"You kidding? Try exotic and now, I can now place an alicorn male in my outfit. Counting marks sweetie." She said seeing his expression change. "Still…hard to find our own kind here unless it's for trading or the soldiers and troops."

"Oh?" Arcane asks interestedly.

The mare nods. "Lots of traders. But the soldiers and troops…mostly those black armored stallions. Seems they either ask for the nearest bounty or a simple job. See them a lot at the bar near the time of night time."

"What cargo are they hauling?" Arcane asks knowing there were no official traders coming to Omega.

The mare shrugs. "Fuel…basic food supplies…sometimes some energy packs for weapons…oh, and blue energy packs. Not like the ones used for the guns. I'm guessing it was magic maybe." She thinks on it as she got into a pondering pose.

"Were there only ponies? Were there any griffons, dogs, or zebras?" Arcane asks.

The mare nods. "Two griffons and one dog and zebra. Kinda big and cute, but not my type. Until I had to dance for them. The bigger griffon had this long blaster at his waist. Never seen anything like it."

"Did any have an accent?" Arcane asks.

The mare raises an eyebrow to him. "None. Equestrian. Why the sudden interest?"

"Oh, no reason…say, if I keep paying you, will you tell me anything you hear from now on?" Arcane asks.

The mare smiles. "Discount still applies sweetie. I love these talks."

"Done." Arcane says.

The mare giggles. "So…still got a few minutes. How do you want to spend it?"

Arcane sighs. "Want to sit by me and relax? You can brag you got to touch a male alicorn like that at least." The mare just smiles and moves over to him.

"Think bro will be in a better mood after he gets out of there?" Sunrise asks.

"Hah, if only the mare is good enough." Venator said as they waited at the bar.

"So next is Malgus right? What do you know of him?" Spectrum asks looking to the eldest.

"He used to be a weapons merchant who owned a shop here on Omega. But he has turned it into a company that supplies Aria, the clan, and many other mercenary groups." Azure says.

"You think he will give a discount?" Sunrise asks.

Azure shrugs. "Of course he will. He's like family to us. Our crazy gun fanatic uncle."

Lightning looks over to the door. "They're back." He said seeing it open and Arcane and the mare walks out.

The mare giggles. "I had fun. Did you?" She asks leaning on Arcane.

"Yeah. Maybe I will see you again soon." Arcane says.

The mare laughs and nuzzles him before walking away. "Bye, sweetie. Hope to see you again."

Azure raises an eyebrow as Arcane walks over to them. "So…an Afterlife mare? A mare? Here?" He asks almost chuckling. "How was she?"

"Does dad tell you what he does with our moms?" Arcane asks.

Azure rolls his eyes. "Fine. Ready to go on your little mission?"

"Yeah, but I recalled something about Malgus." Arcane asks.

Azure nods. "Yep. Still need to rearm everything. Ready to go or you going for another round?" He asks smirking.

"Go you!" Arcane says pushing his big brother out the back exit.

"Mr. President, some ponies are at the front desk asking for you." A receptionist calls Malgus in his nice office in one of the towers of his company.

"They Mandalorians?" Malgus asks looking over the books.

"Yes, sir." The receptionist said.

"They have the clan symbol that we usually deal with?" Malgus asks.

"Yes, sir." The receptionist said.

"Very well. Send them up." Malgus says straightening his suit before getting up and stretches.

"Yes, sir." The receptionist said before the elevator starts dinging in his office.

"I wonder who Blitz sent to see me." The old turian wondered out loud, looking out to Omega below.

"Wow. This is something." He hears and looks to see one large stallion and a few regular size stallions and a mare.

"May I help you?" Malgus asks.

"Yes. I am Azure. I have heard you are a good friend of my father, Blitzkrieg." Azure says.

Malgus hums. "You must be his children."

"Some of them. We need to get prepped for a mission and dad always came to you for equipment." Arcane adds.

Malgus chuckles. "He always did. So what do you need?"

"We are hunting unknown alien species that wiped out a Quarian colony without anyone knowing." Arcane says.

Malgus raises an eyebrow at that. "Really now? Well then, maybe something close range and long?"

"A variety." Arcane says as Malgus spotted the saber on his back and smirked, knowing he sold that to Blitz.

"Well, I can find something for you all or would you rather have a catalog?" Malgus asks.

"Dad told me sometimes you would take him into the armory when he came to visit personally instead of ordering." Azure says.

Malgus nods. "Sometimes. Want to see our showcase?"

"The stuff the public doesn't get to see." Azure says smirking under his helmet.

Malgus presses something under his desk. "Take a look." He said and all the windows close up with metal blinds before the whole room shifted as he sat down and cases rose up filled with guns and ammo. "Take your pick."

"Oh ho." Lightning says smirking going to look.

Spectrum hums as she looks around. "Not bad at all."

"What are you going for sis? Some heavy blaster pistols like dad?" Venator asks looking at scopes.

"Coolelo!" Spectrum cheers as she opens a case and takes out two blasters that look like magnums. "These look old."

"Malgus, how did you get the late Mandalore's blaster pistols?" Azure asks holding out the two WESTAR-34 blaster pistol.

Malgus shrugs. "A friend."

"How much you want for them?" Arcane asks, knowing it would be a good gift for their father.

Malgus hums. "Let's see. How does a hundred thousand credits sound?"

"Done." Azure says immediately.

"But Azure, the contract we did was only for sixty thousand." Lightning says worriedly.

"I will pay for them from my personal account." Azure says dismissively.

Arcane shakes his head as he places the blasters on the central empty table. "What else we got?" He asks looking around again.

"Hey sis, this is one of those DL-44 heavy blaster pistols you have been looking at." Lightning calls.

Spectrum immediately rushes over and stops at the sight. "Ohh. Finally!"

"You got any modifications for anything like this?" Azure asks showing Malgus his bow.

Malgus raises an eyebrow. "Well, well, there is an exotic and rare weapon. Haven't seen one of these since a few nightsisters came through Omega as refugees during the clone wars." Malgus says inspecting the weapon.

Azure smirks. "So…any mods?"

"Lets me examine the bow and see if I can find anything." Malgus says leading him to a bench as Lightning checked the heavy armaments.

"See anything you like?" Spectrum teases.

"Looking for a good jetpack." Lightning says.

Spectrum shakes her head. "You need armor bro."

"I have Mandalorian armor. I want a jetpack with rocket attachments like dad's." Lightning says.

"What you need is a reliable rifle, not just explosives." Arcane says.

Lightning grins. "I have a grenade launcher."

"What you need is…Malgus, is this a DC-17m ICWS?" Venator asks looking at a blaster in a case.

"Yeah, got that beauty off the assembly line after some business dealings." Malgus called adding something to Azure's bow components.

"Awesome!" Venator yells as he takes it out and looks it over. "Better have every attachment."

"Oh and then some." Malgus says.

"Great. Lightning, meet your new blaster." Venator says before telling Lightning all the attachments the weapon had.

"Man this is awesome." Arcane said still looking around.

"That is all I can do for it. If you want it better, you might want to consider letting techs take it apart and make a new weapon with the concepts." Malgus advises.

Azure hums. "How long would it take?"

"Don't know. Might be months, maybe a year or longer." Malgus says before heading over to Lightning who was looking over his new weapon. "I hear you are looking for a jetpack huh?"

Lightning nods. "With rockets. Got anything?"

"Well, you father alway fancied the JT series…hum, let's see. Ah ha. I do have a few JT-24's in here. These are the most reliable version of the JT jetpacks yet with enhanced fuel tanks and optimizing on the cutting down on fuel consumption. Got some basic rocket packages for you to choose from." Malgus said going over to the case.

Lightning grins. "Awesome. Got any firestorm rockets. Maybe guidance?"

"Lightning will earn the guidance system with his own money he gets from jobs and bounties. Make sure you mark it Malgus." Azure advises as he looks over the ammo.

Malgus nods. "Of course. I'll give him some dumb-fire rockets. It should do him some good for now."

"Ah…do you at least have any larger Z-6 antivehicle homing missile to mount on my jetpack?" Lightning asks.

Malgus nods. "For those odds times, yes."

"Awesome." Lightning says excitedly.

Arcane rolls his eyes. "Make sure he doesn't blow himself up with finicky missiles."

"So what I have been doing all my life?" Spectrum asks.

"Making sure he doesn't make a fool of himself." Azure said tapping his enhanced bow.

"Too late." Spectrum teases.

Lightning giggles like a filly as he hugs the new jetpack.

"I see your point." Arcane says.

Venator hums. "What do you have for me?"

"Let me see…you have a sniper rifle?" Malgus asks.

Venator nods. "Yep. Why? You got something?"

"Hum…" Malgus says thinking as he looks through the stuff.

Venator grins. "Come on. There must be something."

"I do have this. I was planning to sell it to your father but." Malgus says pulling out a box.

Venator raises an eyebrow and opens the box. "Awesome." He said in a high-pitched voice as he pulled out a smart disc.

"From what we can tell, it is the same tech as your father's claws." Malgus says.

Venator giggles high pitched. "Best weapon ever."

"Practice using it first!" Arcane and Azure calls.

Venator frowns to them. "Forget you!"

"Do you even know how to use it?" Azure asks.

Venator grins. "How hard can it be?" He asks before throwing it and both Arcane and Azure ducks as it embeds itself in the wall. "Oops."

"What did we say about practicing?" Arcane asks.

Venator chuckles nervously.

"Ok, a few grenades, wires, rope, energy cells, and ammo." Spectrum says.

"Don't forget your guns." Arcane calls picking up a new knife.

"We are adding to the purchase. By the way, why is there a frying pan on the weapon rack?" Spectrum asks.

"Oh, so that is where it went after I used it last." Malgus says.

Azure gives him a blank look. "Really?"

"What? I have a kitchen up here." Malgus says.

Arcane shakes his head as he looks over the mods. "Clothing mods?"

"Yeah, thinking of expanding the business." Malgus says.

Arcane grins as he sees one. "Awesome. Hazmat mod." He said taking out a rolled up see-through film. "And this is giving you a chance to send blaster bolts back at them. And with my cloak, even better."

"Arcane, put it back. We don't have enough credits to buy it right now." Azure says.

Arcane slouches as he puts it back. "Dang it."

"You have something to look forward to later." Azure says.

Arcane sighs. "You getting better models later?" He asks bending his neck to Malgus.

"Maybe…we are not sure about it." Malgus say.

Arcane sighs again. "Guess we'll see." He said eyeing the film.

"Come on brother. Help us carry all of this to the Corvette." Spectrum says.

Arcane grudgingly walks over. "Fine. Fine." He said grabbing a box.

"I'm wearing my stuff back." Lightning says, his stuff already attached to his armor.

Azure shakes her head. "Just make sure you don't fire. I don't want to pay fines for your mistake."

"This is Omega. Legal stuff is done with guns." Lightning says dismissively.

Azure frowns. "Who said I was talking about your guns?" He asks eyeing his new rocket launcher.

"Mine." Lightning says possessively.

Azure huffs. "It will be dad's if you don't use it properly."

"Oh…he would be upset." Lightning says nervously.

Arcane smiles. "Yes, he will. So don't blow yourself up…or us." He quickly adds.

"Or the ship as it is on loan." Spectrum adds.

"All right! I get it." Lightning said pouting as he carries his new gear.

"Good luck." Malgus says as they entered the elevator.

Azure smiles. "Payment on the desk." He said placing his bow on his back as the elevator closes.

"Ok, we set. Everyone got everything?" Azure asks.

Arcane nods as he looks over his gear. "Check here."

"Send the letter to mother Twilight that Arcane had a lapdance from a mare?" Spectrum asks.

Azure nods. "Yep. It was a mare. Send it."

"Don't you dare send that!" Arcane yells rushing toward her.

"Sent." Spectrum said happily as Arcane stops short of grabbing her.

Arcane gulps. "Arcane…what's this about a lapdance?" Twilight asks coming onto the screen behind him with a blank look on her face.

"Spectrum is messing with you, mom." Arcane quickly answers as he turns around and groans inwardly.

Twilight raises an eyebrow. "Your siblings don't lie honey. Your sisters don't either, no matter how playful they are. Now…what's this about a lapdance?"

"Mom, where are you?" Arcane asks noticing the background.

Twilight sighs. "Citadel. I am the ambassador after all. Now no more jumping around the question. Answer my last question and don't jump or lie. I taught you better than that."

"You are in a club…are you in the Purgatory bar again?" Arcane asks.

Twilight frowns. "Blame your father for getting me a drink. Now the question, now."

"Father isn't there mom." Arcane says knowingly turning the tables.

Twilight groans. "When we first came here. He got me hooked on a drink. And Arcane, do I need to pull your omnitool privileges? Because I can right here." She said bringing up a screen of parental controls and Arcane's omnitool was on the list.

"Oh, then I tell dad you are at the table nearest to the male dancers." Arcane says spying them making her eyes go wide.

Twilight frowns. "You wouldn't dare do that to your mother."

"It seems we have something to mutually destroy each other…truce?" Arcane asks.

Twilight huffs. "Truce. But now you better tell me the truth. Really, a mare stripper?"

"First, dancer, there is a difference and second…can we talk where it can't be overheard?" Arcane says moving to the quarters and locks the door behind himself.

Twilight looks to rest. "You guys." She said simply before cutting the line on the screen. "Start talking." She said getting up and walking away to a corner of the bar.

"I didn't get a lapdance. We talked. That is all." Arcane starts.

Twilight sighs in relief. "Good. I was worried for a second. So what did you talk about?"

"There are no official trading routes to Omega right?" Arcane asks.

Twilight raises an eyebrow. "No. We only have it to the Citadel."

"Well, some dogs, griffons, and ponies in black armor are regularly buying from Omega." Arcane says.

Twilight frowns. "Do you know exactly who?"

"No, she didn't know." Arcane says.

Twilight sighs. "I'll alert the fleet. See if they can find anything. Maybe we can figure out what they are cargoing to Omega. And now I see why you aren't telling much in front of the others. You want her for yourself." She said before smirking a bit.

"I was thinking an informant. She has agreed to tell me things for money." Arcane says.

Twilight chuckled. "In exchange, an hour."

"How else am I going to get the info in private?" Arcane asks.

Twilight keeps chuckling. "Ah, my boy growing up. Welcome to the real world. Well…just respect her."

"So…why are you watching the male dancers anyways?" Arcane asks.

Twilight turns the camera to them. "Notice something?" She asks as he sees a pony.

"What?" Arcane asks.

Twilight turns the camera back to her. "Yep. Seems like our kind is gaining ground out in space. Already holding jobs and everything instead of being stuck in our system."

"So mom, how are my little sisters?" Arcane asks.

Twilight smiles. "The same little sisters you know and love. Always pranking and messing with others. Your biggest little sister is trying her best to reign them in."

"They are also quite strong. They broke your barrier." Arcane adds.

Twilight nods. "I am an only half alicorn, sweetie. They are full alicorn. So maybe you should fear the wrath of the sisters of the trouble maker squad." She said smirking at the old group name.

"Nah, I still can beat them in magic without paying attention." Arcane says.

Twilight raises an eyebrow. "All at once?"

"Yep. They may have the power that might rival mine. Might being the keyword, but you and dad taught me well." Arcane says.

Twilight nods slowly. "You're very unique Arcane."

"So mom, I will let you look into that. I have a mission to do." Arcane says.

Twilight smiles. "See that you finish it. I'm getting worried. And maybe drop by here. It's sometimes lonely in my office alone. I have nopony to share my best cookies with." She said almost chuckling.

"Alright…so my little sisters trying to use a teleport spell to come to you yet?" Arcane asks.

Twilight giggles. "Feel their magical residue. They are not powerful enough yet for a jump light years away. I doubt any unicorn is without killing them."

"Is that why dad was hesitant for you to teach them that one so soon?" Arcane asks.

Twilight nods. "We can't have them trying that. Not that much distance."

"I see. Well, I will let you be. Mom, don't work yourself too hard." Arcane says.

Twilight nods. "You be careful." She said before ending the call.

Arcane sighs and lays down in his bed. "Fuck my life." He said rubbing his head. "Let's go, guys!" He calls and feels the ship shudder.

"So what now?" Lightning asks.

Arcane sighs as he looks over the footage. "First, classic detective skills. Find out what they came in on and work backward." He said rewinding the footage.

"How do we do that? There are five known hyperspace lanes connected here and those are the only ones known." Spectrum says.

Arcane smiles as he gets close to the docking area. "By tracking the ship. New colonies, especially quarians, must have trackers for everything since they still are facing biased trouble. Have to record everything that is done to them."

"Since you thought of that, I assume you checked already?" Azure asks.

Arcane nods as he stops at the creature getting off a ship. "Yep. And tracked this ship on this jump. Came from this hyperspace jump." He said showing a 3D model of it. "But the problem is figuring out how far. These guys are different."

"Could they be a new spacefaring race?" Venator asks pulling out his shredder.

"If they were, then we missed the welcoming party." Spectrum said.

"It is a possibility. There are pockets of space we have yet to explore in the alliance's territory." Azure admits.

"Like the Omega relay." Arcane points out as he tries to calculate the distance.

"That was explored once. Middle of the galaxy. Man, those Reapers must have been something in their time." Azure says.

Arcane nods. "Finally! Got it!" He cheers as the plot line was made. "We got our next stop…and I just realized we are making stops in every system and scanning them."

"Evidence of a new spacefaring race increases." Azure comments.

Arcane shakes his head. "Let's just jump already."

"Who is the official pilot?" Azure asks.

Arcane sighs. "I hate to say this. Venator, you're up."

Venator raises his eyebrow at the comment.

Arcane waves his hoof at him. "Just get the ship moving bro."

"I am tempted to test my new stuff on you right now." Venator says.

Arcane rolls his eyes. "Can we get moving? The faster we move, the faster we can catch up to these things."

"I'm a little insulted as I can fly circles around you chumps." Spectrum challenges, sounding like her mother.

Arcane sighs and rubs his head. "Oh boy. Here we go."

"You started this." Azure says.

Arcane rolls his eyes. "Can we get moving? I really want to solve this because you guys are bookmarking and holding the page."

"Spectrum, just take the controls." Azure says facehoofing.

"I win!" Spectrum cheers as she hops to the controls.

"Why do you even start this?" Azure asks Arcane.

Arcane huffs. "Guess leadership is not passed down to me." He said more to himself.

"Leadership isn't something you are born with." Blitz's voice says as his image coming on the screen.

They both looked surprised at that point. "Dad? Wait…did you have Tek and Eve bug our ship?" Arcane asks frowning a bit.

"I answered the call." Spectrum says.

They both frown to her.

"Now what has been going on?" Lightning asks walking back to the cockpit.

Blitz yawns a bit. "Yes, do tell."

"Yes, tell him, leader." Azure says.

Arcane frowns at him. "Traitor." He grumbles before turning back to Blitz. "Okay, we just finish our jobs on Omega and now we are really going to investigate this and work backward. We just got our first coordinates."

"I see." Blitz says as if expecting them to say something else.

Arcane sighs. "That's pretty much the bits you need to know about what is going on."

Blitz drums his fingers on his desk as he sits there in his humanoid form.

Arcane raises an eyebrow. "Is there something the matter?"

"Love you daddy." Spectrum says.

"There we go." Blitz says.

Arcane rolls his eyes. "I'm not one for those."

"The rest of you?" Blitz asks before reaching down and grabs Burnout.

"Love you daddy." Everyone except Arcane says.

"Arcane?" Blitz asks holding Burnout.

Arcane sighs. "Love ya dad."

"There we go…I am proud of you all." Blitz says.

'Whoa, dad.' Arcane thinks.

Azure smiles. "We'll see what we can find from this."

"Be safe." Blitz says before Burnout waves goodbye before ending the call.

"What was that?" Azure demands at Arcane.

"What?" Arcane asks.

"You're acting so dismissive toward everyone lately." Azure explains as he frowns.

Arcane sighs. "I don't know. Just leave me alone for a moment." He said restarting the footage.

Azure frowns as he looks away.

Arcane eyes him out of the corner of his eye for a moment as he keeps flipping through only two frames of a complete picture of the creature. "I'm overwhelmed. From feelings and emotions that I should not have. I do not know why and I don't want to worry mom or dad."

As Azure still moved away, he suddenly stopped.

Arcane sighs. "But these feelings and emotions…they can't be mine. I am actually worried about so many people, it's like a kingdom. And yet I don't rule anything. It's strange. But…it's so weird…so out of place, it would make me sound crazier than anything else. That's why I'm trying to get this done and concentrate on it the most, but you guys are diverting my attention everywhere. Everywhere except the mission I have."

'Son, don't try and do everything yourself. Alone, you may be strong, but you are only one. Only when you work together, are you truly mighty and then you are unstoppable.' Blitz's words played through his head.

"What the heck am I talking to you for? You probably think I am crazy." Arcane said rubbing his head.

'Come on you two, it is time for lunch.' Twilight's words say as he realizes he had unconsciously called upon his memories.

Arcane groans. "Either I'm crazy or everyone is. Either way, so much trouble."

'Come on little bro. Look. We even got a costume for you.' Blazer says holding up a small dragon outfit for a foal.

Arcane frowns. "And now I'm facing it all at once like the floodgate opened. And it's almost getting damn depressing."

'Wow. You're really the alicorn.'

Arcane groans. "Try to face others who just look at you and see only the dictionary term."

'Sorry, my parents say I can't date you anymore. I really am.'

Arcane huffs. "And all the trinkets that come with it."

'So…you paying? Because I don't have my bits with me.'

Arcane almost growls. "All the bobbles of being named to that point."

'You girls won't believe it, but I got a date with him. The prince.'

Arcane actually was able to grip the chair he's in. "And then having it thrown in your face when it's all said and done."

'Oh…little Arcane.'

Arcane was now bending the steel chair. "And then replayed back at you again and again."

'You're really sweet. Better than the others.'

Arcane grits his teeth. "And all of sudden…it's blows up right then and there. Almost taunting you."

'Why did you never tell him?'

'That I'm supposed to be his mate. I can handle him.'

'Why?'

'Arcane, don't let anyone ever choose your own path for you. Forge your own, even if it hurts.' Blitz's words passed through his mind once more.

Arcane growls once as his eyes lit up a bit of a completely different color. "And now…I have to deal with this!" He yells and actually rips out the chair and hurls to the other side of the room and makes it embed into the wall as everyone ducks.

'Being told how to live is easy, but is it truly living when you don't think for yourself?' Blitz words pass through Arcane's mind again, making him wide eyed at that point.

'Is that it…you want me to find my own way?' Arcane thinks as the glimmer in his eyes starts to die down.

Azure slowly comes out from behind the console. "Little bro?" He asks carefully.

"I'm going to rest." Arcane says before leaving.

Spectrum comes out from behind her chair and looks at the wall. "Wow." She whispered as she sees the metal deformed and almost melted into the wall.

"Dad's not going to be happy." Lightning says.

Azure sighs. "I need to make a few calls."

"Honey. You okay?" Terra asks walking in.

Arcane blinks confused at her. "Auntie Terra? But what are you…?" He stops as he hears a different voice and looks down at himself and sees the different body structure and clothing. 'The fuck…?'

Terra sighs. "Still dealing with the fact of what to do huh? Come on, you said you would figure it out. Heck, you went to your father's grave to figure it out as well. Give you inspiration. Did it?" She asks looking at him hopefully.

Arcane still looks around confused for a few moments. "I think…I got it."

Terra raises an eyebrow at him. "You think?"

Arcane pats himself a bit to figure out what was going on. "Yes."

Terra shakes her head. "There is no I think. Your mother even said she hated the 'I think' of the army. She wanted 'I will' and 'I can', 'I do's'. Now…did you figure out who you are supposed to be?"

Arcane felt himself move to look at her. "I am…and I am…" Arcane felt himself say his name and another that came out garbled as does the occupation as he felt and knew the true names of what he is.

Terra smiles. "Come on. How about some lunch?"

Arcane nods and follows her out of the room that was blurred to bits.

"You know why I called you here, correct?" Blitz asks with Hurricane sitting beside him, as he looks out the window down at the engineering class building a vehicle together.

Hurricane sighs. "I assume this has to do with our children."

"Not you love. Terra." Blitz says looking to the mare nervously sitting in the chair.

Terra clears her throat. "Yes. I'm right here. Hello." She tries to say waving.

Hurricane raises an eyebrow curiously. "What about our daughter?"

"Terra, it is past time you told Hurricane. I don't care how much you don't want to." Blitz says.

Terra gulps. "Well…uh…you see…" She tried to begin as she eyes Hurricane's weapons under her clothes.

"Hurricane, disarm please." Blitz says.

Hurricane sighs and reaches between her clothes and pulls out a dagger before reaching in again and takes out a short sword and keeps going back in and takes out a longer sword, a lightsaber hilt, a switchblade, a box, a pair of nunchucks, a blaster pistol, another one, a blaster rifle, a mini rocket launcher, a regular rocket launcher, a few grenades, an EMP grenade, a flash grenade, an incendiary, a smoke grenade, some blocks of C12, the detonator and wires and places it all on the small wooden table which is now creaking under the heavy weight. "Oh wait." She said reaching both hooves in and takes out a mace and taser. "There we go." She said putting on the tall pile which fell through the floor. "Floor repair!" She calls out and the changelings go to work.

Blitz just stares agape, wondering where she hid all of that.

Terra slaps herself to get out of the trance. "Um…right…well…as I was saying. I…think Arcane is your son…reborn…under Twilight now."

Hurricane blinks a few times, not saying anything.

Terra leans forward a bit. "Mother?" She asks carefully.

"Please repeat." Hurricane asks.

Terra gulps. "Arcane is the reincarnation of your son." She said quickly and covers herself.

"Blitz, did you know?" Hurricane asks as Blitz held her bridal style.

"I had suspicions till I put the theatrical screws to Terra." Blitz informs.

"I was in fear at the moment." Terra said behind her forelegs as she covers up her face and curls into a ball on the chair.

"You calm?" Blitz asks petting his wife.

Hurricane slowly nods.

"Don't hurt her ok?" Blitz asks.

Hurricane nods as she keeps watching Terra.

Blitz sets her down before kissing her forehead.

Hurricane frowns to him at that point.

"Now the reason why we are here. Terra, I know you are forcing him to remember. It is affecting Arcane greatly. He is having trouble even controlling himself." Blitz says not happy.

Terra blinks as she uncovers herself. "I am not. He's dealing with emotions that are copying my past husband."

"You are not. I can feel it. You are loosening them." Blitz says calmly, but not letting her tell him any bull.

Terra huffs. "Well, what am I supposed to do after this long? So long I got my chance and now I never will."

"Young lady, sit down now!" Hurricane scolds making her sit back down immediately.

Blitz sighs as he rubs his forehead. "Terra, back off of him now."

"But…" Terra says whimpering.

"Let him remember on his own. You forcing it will only damage his mind." Blitz says.

"But…" Terra tries to say and keeps whimpering.

"Terra, would he want you to force this…or was he into that?" Blitz asks stopping Terra cold.

Terra then slowly frowns and looks away.

"Young lady…" Hurricane starts and actually makes Terra flinch. "I miss him as well. Now knowing he is living as a spirit among Arcane, I don't want Arcane to change. I want Arcane, to stay Arcane. Not the stallion we use to know and I think your father was telling a joke." Hurricane says before Terra thought on it.

Terra lets a chuckle through. "Into it…more like I was." She said giggling behind her hooves.

Blitz raises an eyebrow at that as Hurricane smiles. "You?" She asks.

Terra keeps giggling. "We always did like a predator and prey style. And I was the prey for him. You know, he would have played a very good evil overlord if he kept that demeanor about him." She said still giggling.

"So…have you told Celly or Lulu about this?" Blitz asks.

Terra stops and sighs. "Not yet. How can I tell their father is literally their nephew?"

"Tell them he reincarnated." Blitz says.

Terra slowly shakes her head. "I just hope he can come back."

"He will remember. Natural alicorns live how long?" Blitz asks.

Terra shrugs. "Uncertain."

"How long have your girls lived?" Blitz asks.

Terra smiles. "A few thousand years up to now."

"And they show no signs of growing old yet." Blitz says.

Hurricane hums. "Let's hope they don't blow up and jump around the room like foals."

"Like when you give the foals too much candy?" Blitz asks.

Hurricane nods. "Even more because it's their father."

"You happy my Hurricane?" Blitz asks.

Hurricane huffs. "Still pissed."

"Oh, can I do anything to help with that?" Blitz asks smirking.

"I don't need to listen to this, do I?" Terra asks blushing.

"You may go." Hurricane says.

Terra quickly floated off as Blitz was getting more physical with Hurricane and left blushing hard.

"So…want to see what else I have under there?" Hurricane teases as she smirks.

"I would rather you tell me how you hid all those weapons sexy." Blitz says.

Hurricane hums. "Wouldn't you like to know?"

Azure hums as he kept watching the navigation and hears hoofsteps behind him. "Hey. Feeling better?"

"Yes." Arcane says taking a seat at his station.

Azure sighs. "There is such a thing as dying alone you know."

"I know." Arcane says.

Azure sighs. "We searched a system while you were out. We got the next one and we are heading to the next set."

Arcane rubs his head. "So how much longer?"

"Now." Spectrum said from the pilot chair as the ship drop from hyperspace and drops them off in the Arga system. "Okay, Venator. Please explain this name."

"Salarians, not best namers when it is translated. It loses something." Venator says.

"And they are supposed to be great scientists." Lightning said.

Arcane groans. "Okay, let's just scan and…"

"Found something." Venator said after scanning.

"Oh for pete's sake. What do you got?" Arcane asks looking over.

"…space station. Looks like it was looted." Lightning says looking at it with the ship targeting systems.

"Huh. Maybe something in the security systems we can find." Azure points out.

"Space suits on. Spectrum, stay with the ship." Arcane says.

"Pony or human?" Lightning asks holding up his two types.

"Human." Arcane says making snap decisions, no hint of doubt.

Azure raises an eyebrow as he changes into his human form. "All right, let's go." He said putting on his suit.

"Three hours in. Still no signs of it being pulled into the nearby planet's gravity well, nor any sign of any ships or creatures." Spectrum says over the comms as the team keeps searching.

"Damn. Look at this place. Has there been many reports about this place?" Venator asks poking a floating cup and sends it flying.

"Looks like a salarian STG secret listening station. Must have the minimum crew for secrecy." Arcane says.

Azure hums as he tries to translate the signs. "Maybe the footages are still intact."

"I will also download everything for Tek and his girl." Venator says.

Azure chuckles. "How do you think Eve is anyway? I mean…being a full AI with the complete access to any network, that weighs on you."

"I don't think she notices, but now she is a techno-organic like mother Minerva. I think she notices a few things." Lightning says

"Or maybe she is still trying to study how to 'connect' with Tek." Spectrum voiced and giggled.

"So sis is the one who says what we were all thinking." Azure says.

"Got that right bro." Spectrum said chuckling.

"So, where is this office anyway?" Lightning asks looking around.

"Basically the whole station is one." Arcane says.

Lightning bonks him over the head. "I meant security."

"None really. They were already armed." Arcane says.

Lightning hits him over the head again with a wooden sword. "I mean to access the files."

"Venator is already on that." Arcane says taking the wooden sword and hits him twice for every hit he got hit with.

"Gah." Lightning groans as he laid on the ground.

"Okay, that was a weak strategy." Spectrum said smirking. "Did you lose your health bro?"

"He'll be fine." Arcane says dropping the sword in front of him on the floor.

"Found it by the way." Azure said walking into an office with a small armory. "Okay, let's see even a bit of power works." He said trying to turn the computer. "And nothing. Who wants to try and turn on the emergency power?"

"Venator, you think you can do this?" Arcane asks.

"I'll see what I can do." Venator said taking out a few wires.

"Sunrise, anything on the motion sensors?" Arcane asks.

"Nothing yet. It's all quiet." Sunrise said watching the hall.

"Yes. Quiet like Dead Space." Spectrum says trying to creep them out.

"Would you not mention that? Uncle Spike said they are real." Azure said frowning.

Lightning starts looking around suspicious and worried aiming his explosives where he turned.

"Relax Lightning. She's just messing with us." Arcane tries to placate.

Lightning wasn't listening as he now had eight motion trackers out, each facing a different direction as they worked.

"Oh goodie, Alien style." Spectrum said smirking.

"Spectrum…I am regretting bringing you so much." Lightning says.

"I thought I did that." Arcane pipes up as he looks through the tablets.

"Let him have that little bro." Azure says continuing to work.

"Yeah, yeah." Arcane said still reading.

"I think I got it from here." Venator says.

Azure smiles as he looks over the computer now on. "Let's see." He said connecting it to the ship. "Man, Tek would move faster with this."

"You kidding, this would be a downgrade." Venator says.

"Anything?" Arcane asks looking over his shoulder.

"One had an Asari mistress." Azure says seeing an image on the computer.

"Damn. Looks hot…I think." Sunrise said peeking in.

"Okay, seems like they were checking out an old artifact. Something they dug up in an old moon." Azure said reading the entry.

"It still here?" Arcane asks.

Azure hums. "Says here that the experiments on it may have almost decimated it. Maybe there are some fragments left behind."

"I'm surprised that the station is still holding together." Arcane says looking through the records.

Azure looks to him. "Maybe the lower labs."

"There are no labs. This is a listening post." Arcane reminds.

Azure raises an eyebrow. "And this is an STG facility. What do you think?"

"Yes, the espionage and scouting branch, not the science part." Arcane emphasized.

Azure raises an eyebrow. "Any shipping list that stand out Spectrum?"

"There is documentation of a small research ship arriving, but not leaving and there are no other ships." Spectrum says.

"Maybe it's still here in the wreckage." Sunrise theorized.

"They only had one hanger…Lightning?" Arcane asks.

"Yeah, check it out. I know." Lightning said looking around a bit.

"You may return to the ship." Arcane says.

Lightning quickly rushes over and leaves a smoke trail behind him.

"Let's go everyone." Arcane instructs the remaining siblings.

"Geez, he has to work with horror movie fear." Sunrise said as they all walk down the hall.

"Once again, blame Spectrum." Azure says.

"I'll add that to the list when I kill you guys." Spectrum said.

"Yeah, yeah." All four say as they walk.

"Nothing. They had to have taken the ship." Arcane says entering the corvette.

"Maybe track the logs and see where it can take us now." Spectrum suggested as they all took off their suits.

Azure sighs as he changes into his pony form. "Start reading guys." He said closing his eyes for a bit before opening to them glowing a little as he looks around and sees the energy flowing around the area. "Maybe we might get lucky." He said making sure nopony saw.

"Ah great. Bookkeeping." Venator said moving to a terminal before starting to sift through the logs.

"So Venator, speaking of books, how is the next addition to the Daring family book series coming?" Spectrum asks.

Venator shakes his head. "Nope. Can't reveal family secrets."

"But I am family." Spectrum says cheekily.

Venator shakes his head. "Nope. Mommy told me not to say. She thinks you guys might brag about a lot of things."

"Come on. Give me a hint. I want to read it." Spectrum whines a bit.

Venator shakes his head. "Nope. Not gonna get me. So you better not bug mom about this or I will beat you down."

"Mommy Daring. Big bro is threatening me again." Spectrum whines and they all look to see Daring on the screen.

Venator squeaks. "She is lying, mom. She is dead lying."

Daring massages her forehead, hearing all of this.

"Mom?" Venator squeaks.

"Cut it out you two." Daring says showing the napping filly and colt.

Everyone immediately quiets down at that. "Oh, sorry." Spectrum said seeing the two and leans closer.

Venator tilts his head. "So…we got you on the line, how are you?"

"Your younger siblings are wearing me out." Daring says petting her napping foals.

Venator chuckles nervously. "Well, you wanted dad to give you more of me."

Daring casts a sideways glance at the screen. "What was that?"

"Nothing!" Venator yells and covers himself.

"That is what I thought…so why did you really call?" Daring asks.

Spectrum smiles. "The release date for the next book."

"Who is ask…it is your sister with you, isn't it?" Daring asks petting her filly's mane who was sprawled out with her tongue sticking out as she snored loudly.

Venator groans. "Yes."

"Sometime in the next two months." Daring answers after a pause.

Spectrum gives a silent cheer.

Venator keeps chuckling nervously. "Sorry for bothering you mom."

"It's not a big deal." Daring say rocking the two foals.

Venator smiles. "Okay, see ya, mom."

Daring smiles. "Bye, honey. Hope you finish your mission."

They all wave as Daring cuts the line and Arcane smiles a bit as he kept looking over the logs. "There isn't much about the logs. Not much of a delivery system. But I got one last entry before it ends. And this one never left."

Azure looks to him and raises an eyebrow as he sees almost two energy sources in Arcane. "Really? Must be when this placed was wrecked. Did it say where it came from?"

Arcane hums as he pulls up the entry. "Let's see…FTL from…area fifteen that we keep hearing about from the Salarian communication we bugged. Guess we're going there."

Azure nods as he keeps watching the two energies in Arcane. "Alright Spectrum, make your mom proud and fly us off."

Spectrum salutes and starts up the ship before they take off as Lightning glares at the station. "Can we at least blow up the station?"

They all give him a look before he shuts up and keeps watching out the window.

"I told you. We should have taken a left." Sweetie Belle argued.

"Left? We should have taken the right at the star." Apple Bloom retorted.

"Since when do we see left and right in space? It's all everywhere at once." Scootaloo grumbled.

Apple Bloom quickly snatches the controls from Sweetie Belle. "Let me show you how to play."

Scootaloo raises an eyebrow as they watch Apple Bloom play the game and drive the spaceship. "You know, Spike would be better at this."

"We know." The other two said as kept watching and playing.

Sweetie Belle sighs. "So…when are we going to do Spike?" Apple Bloom literally made the frame shift driven ship crash into a planet and make it stop as they turn to her a bit surprised. "I mean, we are his horde. Should he…do something? We are just sleeping together in his little circle with Slender around us as well."

Scootaloo holds up a hoof. "Um…come to think of it. He hasn't done anything much outside of kissing us and Slender. In fact, Slender did tell us she is preparing still for anything that will happen, but she just ends up disappointed by the end of it."

Apple Bloom sighs. "You know…we are ready."

Sweetie Belle nods and holds up a leaf. "And I'm tired of chewing this all the time. It's getting tiring on my jaws just to control my heat."

Scootaloo looks between them. "Should we…do something? Like when we are on holiday?"

Apple Bloom hums. "Well…we haven't really got married or got a honeymoon…and no real vacation besides the important holidays and traditions we can't leave. Maybe we should do the whole run down."

"That's a great idea. And maybe we can finally show Spike what his 'hoard' can do." Sweetie Belle said smirking.

"Oh, Sweetie. Wonder what Slender might do?" Scootaloo asks herself.

"She is going to be tricked now that I think about it." Apple Bloom says.

Sweetie Belle grins. "Or maybe we could just try and surprised her. She is going to be co-wife I guess."

Scootaloo hums. "Well…we could try those things that Spike has hidden under the bed."

Apple Bloom frowns. "Have you seen the ways those mares are done with? I don't think Spike can do half of those. Especially the one with all the sharp claws. I don't think he would be up to getting that close to hurting us."

Sweetie Belle leans in. "You do realize he will bite our necks and mark us, right?"

Apple Bloom gives her a deadpan look. "He gives not eating force bite, but just enough to leave a mark."

"What are you girls talking about?" Slender asks suddenly coming on screen. "Bite here, a claw there, what's this about?"

"Nothing." Sweetie Belle says quickly.

Slender hums. "How's the cargo transport and survey?"

"Going…we crashed because someone fought to try and take back the controls." Scootaloo says mad.

Slender quickly switches the screens. "You girls realize this is a game? I am talking about the ship right in front of you." She said clearing their screen to show the medium cargo ship floating in front of them.

"Actually, that is backward so Spike doesn't find out." Scootaloo says as Apple Bloom tried to get her to stop, but she wouldn't.

Slender raises a nonexistent eyebrow. "Okay then. Survey? Spike did send you to find that extra line of transport."

Sweetie Belle sighs. "We are still mapping it. The trouble is trying to find that optimal path. The computer is still calculating it and mapping with the hyperspace routes we do have."

Slender nods. "See that you get it done. Spike hopes to find a faster route after the whole pirate debacle."

"And coming to get…" Scootaloo stopped when they heard something hit the exterior of their ship.

Slender tilts her head noticing their expressions. "Anything wrong?"

"We might need a resc…" Scootaloo was cut off when a breaching charge went off, cutting the communication.

"Oh, crap." Apple Bloom cursed as they turn their heads and kept their seats in front of them as shields to look towards the door. "Sweetie Belle, teleportation, now!" Apple Bloom hissed quietly to not let the intruders hear.

Sweetie Belle strains her magic as her horn glowed a bit. "I'm trying. Give me a sec." She said as Scootaloo kept watching for anything coming out of the smoke-filled hall before tilting her head as something shined.

"The heck…OH CRAP!" She yelled as she got thrown back with a net over her onto the console. "Oh, crap." She said before Apple Bloom got hit too and the net planted themselves into the consoles.

"Girls!" Sweetie Belle yelled and quickly ducks and tries to teleport and run at the same time before dodging another as she teleported onto the ground and again before she felt the strain and her magic and legs stuttered for a moment before being netted to the wall. "Crap. Um…would you kindly go easy on us?" She tries to ask their attacker still in the smoke.

Soon a hulking bipedal four armed creature entered. "Oh, crap. Wait, better word. Oh, sHIT!" Scootaloo yells out as the nets shock them all and makes the others scream in pain until they all pass out from the pain as the hulking creature huffs and reaches out and grabs the nets and them and carries them off.

"Oh, my aching head." Sweetie groans as the three laid on the ground of something rocky.

"Roll call." Apple Bloom calls out and holds up her hoof.

"Check." Scootaloo said holding out her hoof before groaning in pain as it felt like pins and needles on it.

"Here." Sweetie Belle said trying to sit up.

Apple Bloom groans as she sits up as well and cracks her back to release the tension. "Okay, girls. Just like Spike taught us. Check the area." She said holding up her hoof and groans and rubs on her leg from the pain.

"Rocky." Scootaloo grumbled as she looks to a normal high wall of black rock.

As they talked, it seemed like one of the huge creatures was facepalming at another while another was addressing it.

"Metal door." Sweetie Belle grumbled as they turn and see a metal grated wall and door in front of them.

"The heck are those?" Scootaloo says looking out the door and sees a few hulking figures like the one that attacked them. "Looks…like a robot."

Suddenly, one of them starts yelling at the one with a gun in an unknown language, obviously lecturing.

"Reminds you of anypony Apple Bloom?" Scootaloo teases to her.

"Shut it." Apple Bloom says.

The figures turn to them at that moment, before the one that was yelling, points to them and looks to the one it was lecturing. The other seems to give a small sulk before walking over to them with heavy footsteps before standing in front of the door and opens it before pointing its gun at them and shoves it to the others. The three looked confused a bit before slowly and carefully walking out and heads to the others before the yelling one looks them over.

The one that was lecturing then says something to the other and it starts leading them through rocky corridors that seem to have been mined out and leads them to a large area where it seems there was a railroad track of the old style going around in a circle around the room and the figure points to it and says something to them in its language.

The three mares look to each other still confused before starting to walk along the side of the track and the figure gives a growl before they pick up the pace and starts to go into a trot. "What are they? Scoots?" Apple Bloom whispered.

Scootaloo gives a shrug as it seemed to want them to pick up the pace more and they started to go into a jog. "No idea. Maybe they are just a bunch of bandits from the outer rim." She whispered.

"I thought we knew all the bandits and I have never seen this species before." Sweetie says.

Scootaloo held a frown as they pass by it and make a lap. "Maybe because it's like the rachni, they kept themselves hidden."

"Can they understand us?" Sweetie asks.

They all look to the figure as it kept watching them as they kept running around the track. "I don't think so. Maybe basic words?" Apple Bloom thought out loud.

Sweetie hums as they pass it again. "Your mother is a loser!" She yells and only gets a tilt of the head in response. "Guess not that much of ours."

Scootaloo smirks. "Then we can talk without worry."

Apple Bloom still held a frown. "But we have to keep it smart." She said before a metal foot crash down where they were going and makes them skid to a stop in front of it and makes them look up to the large figure as it seems to study them before huffing and pointing back down where they came from.

The three gulp and slowly trudges back to where they were and sees the other figures waiting for them before the one with them seems to speak to them before they all turn to the three. "I think we are in trouble." Sweetie says quietly.

The two aliens start talking to the one escorting them and points to them every so often.

"What do you think they are talking about?" Scootaloo asks as they kept watching and hearing the gibberish.

"I don't want to find out." Apple Bloom says gulping.

"This…is getting tedious." Lightning says putting his head onto the console as he kept staring at the screen for anything out of the ordinary.

Arcane groans as well. "Mom. We are coming in. Got any more of those cookies for us? I think we need it after the long hours we put into this."

Twilight giggles as she sees the state everyone is in. "Sure. Get into our docking bay. I'll meet you there." She said getting up and cutting the line.

"You waiting to tell her about the Eclipse ship we encountered?" Spectrum asks holding the helmet she took off one of them.

Arcane looks to her sideways. "You really want mom to meet you with hugs and kisses on the dock in front of everyone while saying how worried she was?"

"I meant where our talks can't be intercepted. Head in the game Arcane." Spectrum says before becoming humanoid and puts on the helmet. "What do you think?"

They all raise an eyebrow at her. "You look like a merc jackass." Azure piped up as he grabs a bag.

Spectrum, hearing that, does a merc jackass response and flips him off.

"Sis, do I need to call mom and tell her you did that?" Lightning teases as he smirks a bit.

"Who do you think taught us that?" Spectrum jokes with her brother.

Lightning groans and puts his head down again. "I swear, most of the curses and gestures are coming from mom."

"Which one?" Venator asks as his mother taught him how to curse and all sorts of rude gestures.

Lightning huffs. "Good point."

"Ok, all of you better be on your best behavior. We will be docked in a moment and remember that momma Twilight is a politician here so wait till behind closed doors and leave that helmet here Spectrum." Azure reminds.

"Aw." Spectrum whines as the ship shudder into the dock. "I wanted to freak them out."

"Off. Besides, it doesn't match your gear." Azure says.

"You're right. I need to customize it a bit." Spectrum says taking it off and returns to original form.

Arcane gives one last yawn before grabbing his bag. "Come on guys. Let's go see mom." He said getting up and walking out with them.

"It's a shame we can't bring our armor or weapons with us." Lightning says as they exit the ship in normal clothes.

Azure shrugs. "Citadel rules…unless you're a spectre."

"And dad won't approve any of us becoming one…yet." Arcane adds.

"He mostly doesn't want us to become their pawns, especially the Salarians and Turians. Dad still hasn't let go the fact that the Salarians had kidnapped some of our people before we became a part of his alliance. He almost shot the Salarian councilor who informed him of that, remember?" Venator asks.

"How could I? He shot holes in the council room that are still there." Arcane said.

"It almost started a war and the Asari and Turians were not going to help because it would send a horrible message to the other members of the alliance." Azure says.

"That and the fact they all want to save face. It's all about image guys." Twilight said surrounded by four Krogens in full body armor.

"Hello, mother." Arcane says walking up to her first.

Twilight smiles. "Hello, son. How are you?"

"Good…mother, can we talk in private?" Arcane asks.

Twilight nods and waves them along to her office. "I'm very glad you made it. Because I wouldn't have anypony to share…" She waits until the door to her office closes. "My cookies." She said smiling as she brings a plate of cookies to them with magic.

"Hooray!" Lightning calls rushing over and take a few and start gorging on it.

Arcane shakes his head before hugging Twilight. "I'm glad to see you, mom."

"Glad to see you too my little boy." Twilight says picking him up in a hug.

Arcane laughs as he was lifted up a little. "Geez, when did you become strong?"

"I have always been this strong, my little boy." Twilight says sitting him down.

Arcane chuckles. "So…what's the latest news?"

"Depends on the subject." Twilight says checking her console to see she had ninety-three new messages.

Arcane raises an eyebrow at the see-through screen as the others kept eating. "We can wait."

"No, no. I can hold off on this. This was just from going to meet you at the landing." Twilight says.

Arcane blinks. "This much trouble still huh? I would have thought that they learn to stop pestering you."

"No, it just comes with being the head diplomat of our species." Twilight says.

Arcane hums as he sits down in one of the large pillows on the other side of the desk. "So…anything special on our mission?"

"No. Your father is keeping me mostly out of the loop for this one. I think he wants to see what you can do with no help." Twilight says.

Arcane sighs. "Expected. So how is it going here? Any trouble…considering the guards?" He asks eyeing the one krogan guard standing near the door.

"Precautionary. You know how protective your father is. He has a salarian team comb my office every time I get back in it like now. Though I was skeptical until they kept discovering wiretaps. Either the reporters or other diplomats trying to get dirt." Twilight says.

Arcane chuckles. "Well think of it like, welcome to being a diplomat, have a happy little time dealing with emails and pointless meetings and espionage." He jokes.

Twilight gives a playful frown. "Arcane."

Arcane chuckles. "Come on. You have to admit, that was funny."

Twilight chuckles a bit. "Okay, it was a bit funny. So…things going well between you and your siblings here?" She asks leaning over and sees their plate almost empty before bringing out another and sets it on top before they dig in again. "Easy guys."

"Well, what we are hunting has left few faint trails. The last one leads us to a system and the only thing we found there was an eclipse ship. So…" Arcane stops when Twilight holds up a hoof.

Twilight sighs. "It's best to not tell about the gangs here. C-Sec has some sediments about the gangs on Omega. You're lucky your big brother is helping get some dirt on them."

"So can you get the info we need?" Arcane asks.

Twilight smirks a bit. "Talk to your brother." She said before turning a screen to him and he can see Blazer on the screen. "Tell him what you want and you better pay."

"Mom. We both know that you as a member of the inner circle are privy to the files we have been keeping on them. Especially the hack and informants in their ranks. So please give us the info." Arcane asks.

Blazer chuckles. "Come on bro, you have to pay attention, pay up. She does have access, but it funnels through me and to Tek and Eve so they can figure things out."

"Fine, but this is for an official clan mission so we get the ninety percent discount and you take it out of our reward." Arcane says.

Blazer smirks. "Mom, give it. I'll see about getting the pay set up." He said before signing off.

Twilight smiles and starts to type away. "I'm glad you don't have parental blocks on your omnitool. Makes things a bit easy at times. Besides, you were going to find out about strange stuff anyways. Okay, there you go. Everything you should need. Don't tell your father, though." She whispered the last one.

"So can I ask about the secret project being done at the shipyards?" Lightning whispers close to Twilight.

Twilight shakes her head. "Your father has sworn me and Spike to secrecy about this. I can't even tell you guys."

"Oh come on momma. I know they are near completion. Please tell me what they are." Lightning pleads.

Twilight taps his nose with her hoof. "No." She said with a smirk on her face.

"Please." Lightning begs.

Twilight shakes her head. "No. And go back to eating with your siblings."

"Please, momma." Lightning begs again.

Twilight shakes her head again. "No. Not happening."

"Spectrum, please come here." Lightning requests.

Spectrum looks over with a mouthful of cookies. "Okay." She said muffled before walking over. "What is it?" Lightning whispers into her ear and she nod once he was done. "Please, momma Twilight?" Spectrum asks giving her the quivering lip puppy dog pout.

Twilight frowns. "No." She said firmly.

"Pwease?" Spectrum says breaking down her defenses.

Twilight growls a bit. "Want me to call your father?"

"Mom, they won't stop till you tell and Spectrum will get dad to talk." Blazer says.

Twilight groans. "Fine. We are building ships. It's a shipyard. What do you expect?"

"Dets!" Both the twins call.

Twilight rolls her eyes. "Sometimes I despise your siblings. We got two new ship designs being made as a carrier and a dreadnaught based off the Darkline series."

"Whoa." The twins say in excitement as the rest had their full attention on what she just said.

Twilight sighs. "Any case, keep it quiet. We don't need…one room over. Get the listener." She calls out and the guards outside the door rush over before they hear struggling in the next room over. "So…anything else my foals?"

"So with these new designs, I can only guess we are also making more cruisers and frigates as well for support?" Arcane asks.

Twilight nods. "Later. We need to get the main ships going and then we can start off little."

"So I take it Spike and Ridley will be moving the flagship to either a carrier or the dreadnaught?" Arcane asks.

Twilight nods. "Have to keep upgrading just to keep up with the times. And don't worry, everything that was still with us in the original will be transferred over once they have chosen. Can't believe we have hardly gone into one at this point. I think the bottle your father and I shared is still in the original Darkline." She said starting to blush as she remembered.

"So…will the Darkline be kept on active duty for much longer?" Venator asks.

Twilight nods. "Yep. It has to. It's the pride and joy of the whole fleet. A symbol of what the Tartarus we went through. Oh…I just thought of what the salarians might do if they went to Tartarus to get some creatures and demons and spirits."

"Let's not let them know. We don't need a war." Venator says referring to what their father would do.

Arcane hums. "You think dad would unleash Tartarus and whatever is inside to whoever wants entry just to be more powerful with the line, 'You want Tartarus, you can have it.'" Arcane mimics.

"No, I think he would slaughter the STG sent to our planet and then bring them here and throw them on the council audience chambers and declare war on the salarians." Azure says seriously.

"They are getting dangerously close to ticking dad off enough." Spectrum said stuffing her face full of cookies.

"It's not the counselor, it is that Dalatrass. A similar one tried to stop the genophage from getting cured." Twilight says.

Arcane huffs. "You think they would learn by now. Oh well, can't proceed without conflict."

"Except that conflict is getting some of us into trouble. Let's just hope the Dalatrass isn't doing anything smart-alecky." Azure said.

"She is. I have gotten a few apologies from the Salarian councilor over her. In fact, Blitz nearly declared war when he learned she has a plan in motion to get our membership here revoked and try and get our species to work as cheap labor. Needless to say, the STG and the councilor put that plan down harder than megaton bomb dropped on it could." Twilight says.

Arcane raises an eyebrow. "Since when did you start making similarities like that?"

"When the Salarian councilor and high ranking members of the STG nearly forced her off the Citadel…I wonder if Blitzy has killed the assassin she hired to kill me yet or if he is still torturing him?" Twilight asks.

They all think on that. "Maybe…torture?" Spectrum suggests.

"Credits on the kill." Azure bets.

"It has nearly been a year." Twilight says.

"Kill." Arcane and Lightning says.

"So what will happen to the Darkline? Will she be turned into a cruise ship or be made into a museum?" Spectrum asks.

Twilight hums. "That's mostly for Blitz and Spike to decide on. We are still keeping her active, though. Have to show what we had before anyway."

"And because our fleet alone still doesn't have as many frigates or battleships." Arcane says.

Azure leans in. "You don't think we would have assembly line style of the new ships if they can be mass produced?"

"We are still working on that. We don't have the shipyards like the turian or quarians yet." Arcane reminds.

Azure shrugs. "So…got anything in the case of a place to rest?"

"This is a place of work. No time for rest." Twilight says checking the messages.

Arcane leans over. "Anything important at times nowadays?"

"Nothing you need be concerned with." Twilight says petting him.

Arcane actually purrs before slapping her hoof away. "Mom."

Twilight giggles as Azure smirks and leans in with a hoof. "Oh, brother."

Arcane screams and starts running around the room with Azure on his heels. "No way jose."

Twilight smiles as she watched the display as she works and for a moment, she saw them as they were during the clone wars.

"So mom, the Rachni hive you hired? Are they doing good work helping make the ships?" Spectrum asks.

Twilight nods. "Hard to believe, but they are like changelings. In fact, the queen is really taking a liking to me."

'You mean me.' She heard Chrysalis in her mind as she heard papers being flipped through.

Apple Bloom peers down the hole before looking up the figure behind them. "Do we have to?" She asks trying to give a pout with a quivering lip and teary eyes as the last resort.

The figure reels back in a bit of shock at what she was doing before shaking its head and shoves them down the hole as they scream as it walks back and rubbing its head in confusion.

Sweetie screamed the loudest as they all fell before bouncing off of something and landing on the rocky ground. "Owie." They all said in pain.

"So…what's the big idea of landing on my hump?" A gruff voice asks and they look up to see a krogan with only basic clothing sitting near them.

"Um…" The girls try to say as they stared at the dirtied krogan.

"Lay off Krax. Give the newbies some room." A softer voice said as they look to see a human who was very dirtied with dirty trainers and boots. "Hey you three. You must be the ponies that are going around the galaxy. You three okay?"

The three nod as they sit up. "What's going on here?" Scootaloo asks looking around at the cavern where more species were working on digging out the walls and floors.

The human sighs. "Welcome to hell. Where we have to mine to a quota or die. And it's hot as hell itself. Get ready for a fun time down here…I think they sent you down so you can pull the carts." He said jerking his thumb to the many filled carts on the tracks.

The three-blink confused. "Um…" Sweetie tries to ask.

"Heh. Newbies won't last a day." Krax said as he crosses his arms.

The human just gives him a deadpan look. "Just get back to work." He said tossing him a pickaxe and the krogan catches it as he gets up and walks away grumbling. "Sorry about that. He's sort of the head muscle around here. Cross him and you might be in for a surprise."

"Girls, situation report." Apple Bloom said and the human noticed they were in a huddle and ignoring him. "Okay, mine, hard labor, and maybe it's a prison as well. Which means there has to be a way out along with all this…ore. Ideas."

Scootaloo hums. "We could try the carts."

"We dump them in a pile a bit outside that's heavily guarded by those things and turrets that shoot old fashioned bullets." The human pipes up to get them to stop.

The three stop. "We need time." Sweetie says as she kept looking around.

The human shrugs. "Well, you got all the time in the world as of now. Might as well get to work."

"What are those ores anyway?" Scootaloo asks wondering what is so important.

The human hums. "Mostly metal. But the ones they want are metallic. We tried using them to bust out, but doors kept blocking our way. We aren't getting out at any easy time at all."

"Who are you anyway?" She asks looking at the human.

"First sergeant…or I was Ian Mac. Please to meet you." Ian said.

Apple Bloom looks a little worried. "Are there any other soldiers?"

Ian nods. "A few. But it's mostly civilians who are literally truckers, builders, and maintenance people. We don't have much of an army down here. It's tough living here for the past year, but it's our new life and we get steady meals and everything."

"Year?!" They yell and makes his ears ring.

"Yeah. A whole year I have been here." Ian said cleaning out his ear of the ringing.

Scootaloo groans. "We are so boned."

Apple Bloom takes a quick look around. "Maybe not, but I need time. In the meantime, where do we hook up?" She asks chuckling nervously.

Ian chuckles. "There are some ropes on the carts. Go ahead and tie yourself. I'll be over there if you need anything." He said grabbing a lone pickaxe and whistles as he heads to a wall and starts to pick away at it.

Sweetie looks worried to the two. "Are we going to become like him?"

Apple Bloom frowns. "Not while we're around. We're the Cutie Mark Crusaders and we help others find their lifelong dreams and meanings. And we are going to keep it this way by helping these guys get out."

"Hey! If you're done monologuing, get to work." Krax calls as he kept chipping away.

Apple Bloom sighs. "Come on girls. We can think as we work." She said as they started to walk to the carts. "Let's try pulling one all at once before trying to split up." She suggests.

Blitz frowns as he looks to Ridley on the screen as he sees Spike growling in the background while pacing as Slender tries to talk him down. "Find anything?"

Ridley shakes his head. "No. There are no traces left behind. We have to find them before he goes mad and destroys the whole fleet again."

"I have suppression pills!" Spike yells as Slender tries to keep him calm.

Ridley frowns and looks to him. "Not enough. Now shut up."

Blitz sighs. "I don't want a repeat. Have the tranquilizer ready. Find those girls. I have a feeling this is connected to our problems at the moment. Get this done."

Ridley sighs. "I'll see what I can do."

Blitz frowns. "You are in command at the moment until they get back and Spike is under control. Let's hope nothing happens or we might as well send Spike down to where they are and let him take down the foalnappers."

Ridley huffs. "Let's hope that doesn't happen. Now then…get him to bed!" He yells to Slender and she starts to pull him along back to his room.

Blitz sighs and cuts the line and turns to the screen where the recording of the call was being replayed and he keeps checking the last moment over and over again. "Tek? Eve?"

Eve jumps up onto his desk. "We are running all frames of what the video has captured. There isn't much and only smoke blocking the view of the intruder. We have found not much."

Tek frowns as he leans over the desk. "And it's almost like the base attack. At least we have images of the creatures. Here, there isn't much."

Blitz sighs. "Anything from the cargo ship's exterior cameras?"

Tek shakes his head. "Not really. It's either static or cut off. Whoever did this is good. Now I am worried."

Blitz groans. "I swear, I am getting a headache because of…" He looks back to them. "Is that strange contract still up?"

Eve nods. "It hasn't left and looked at other lists, there is no listing of it. It's just for us in fact."

Blitz frowns. "Take it. I will handle it. I fear that contract is connected to this. Start up my ship and bring it here. Tell Terran to come over as well." He said getting up and walking out as he checks his pistol.

Tek nods. "Got it dad. Just record it all."

Blitz gives a wave behind him. "You know me."

Tek chuckles and turns to Eve. "How's the blocks on you?"

Eve frowns as she gets off the desk and turns to him. "I have not bypassed them. They are well put and are blocking the memory behind them. You are thinking it might be of these creatures."

Tek nods. "There has to be something that can take them off. Anything on finding them?"

Eve shakes her head and actually looked a bit worried. "Can you help?" She asks and Tek smiles and leads her along back to their room.

Terran chews on a big bone as he sits near Blitz steering the ship to the location of the contract before he sets it to autopilot and looks to him. "You worried for the girls too huh?"

Terran bites down hard on the bone and breaks it in half before looking up to him.

Blitz sighs and pets his head. "Me too. Let's hope we can find them before we have to use Spike as a weapon himself."

Terran growls and takes up a piece of a bone before biting it and breaks that one.

Blitz chuckles. "Don't worry, you'll get revenge as well."

Terran growls and wags his little tail at the prospect of eating the foalnappers alive.

Blitz sighs and turns back to the screen of the way they are going. "Well…we might solve one piece of mystery here." He said as he looks to the hyperspace travel time and sees it's only a few second. "And…now." He said before dropping down into a random part of a space where nothing was there. "Huh. Initiating scan." He said as he tries to connect to Tek and Eve to speed things along and starts up the scan. "Let's see…nothing? Is nothing here? Must be a meeting point." He said out loud as the call can't reach them. "Damn. No com-buoys either. Might as well place a possible expansion here. Could be good for a station…" He thinks to himself as Terran growls to the screen. "Something up boy?" He asks looking to where Terran was watching and activates the weapons system.

He kept watching as Terran kept growling before the computer detected a few wakes of hyperspace jumps coming out in front of him and preparing to bring in large ships. "What are you?" He said before the wakes started to become visible to the naked eye and showed four big ones with six of them half the size before four Imperial I-class Star Destroyers and six Salliches came out of hyperspace right in front of him. "Oh, crap." He said seeing them all and charges up his hyperspace drive.

Terran barks at the new ships as they all seem to turn to them before a sleek ship hyperspace right between them and made them all stop as it showed no IFF tags. Blitz narrows his eyes at the new ship as it stayed pointing sideways between them before it started to turn and points toward the empire ships, leaving Blitz to watch as a hatch opened on top before something rises out of it that looks like the redefined mechs they have made, but more sleek and in dark colors before it leans forward and launches off with an electric shock toward the empire ships as they all started to open fire as the coming mech which spins and glides past the laser shots as the original ship closes the hatch before something lights up on the nose and soon a hex shape see through shield appeared in front of it before it started to multiply and make more around it until it had a big enough wall of shield between them and the empire.

Blitz raises an eyebrow as the mech holds out something and starts to fire lasers from it that made a strong beam before hitting the bridge area and hits the shield before getting close and hits it with the weapon and literally breaks the shield before aiming close and fires, destroying it into smoke and fire before flying off and letting some of the defense destroy their own ships as the strange ship seems to open up side hatches before launching off old style missiles at the Salliches and hits close to their thrusters housings before the mech flies close to them and holds out it's weapon before something comes out of the two prong piece and lights up to be like a sword and slices through the cockpit area before stabbing in the middle and flies off to the next as it explodes as he deals the others as the same way as the strange ship kept firing while also stopping to charge it's shield as it seems to pulse while the empire ships try to fire at it and overwhelm them.

Blitz frowns and turns to leave as his hyperspace has finished charging but then his ships shut down as all the lights and systems turn off and his ship turns back to the fight. "You want me to watch huh?" He asks quietly as Terran growls not to the empire ships, but rather the strange ship.

He kept watching as the mech kept flying around everything and destroyed all the Salliches before going to the destroyers and actually heads into one of its docking bays before it became quiet for a bit before all the turrets on that ship turn towards the rest and start to fire on them as the other ships didn't know whether to fire on its own or not. Blitz huffs as he holds out a hand at a far away destroyer that was the flagship and starts to squeeze his hand and makes it start to move before the sides of it start to become crushed and bending the metal as it seems to crush right down to the middle.

"What is going on?! Why are the gravity dampers not working?" The admiral of the flagship calls out.

"Admiral, the gravity dampers, they are overloading!" An officer yells.

"What?! How is that possible?!" The admiral yells.

The mech stops for a bit as it stared at the crushing ship and looks back to Blitz who he was staring at before the mech flies off and heads to the two last destroyers now.

"The difference in our powers is that much. Don't think I can be intimidated so easily." Blitz says now realizing the mech was showing off.

The mech seems to look his way before flying straight toward the last two as they try to come together to defend themselves before the mech crashes onto the top of one and makes it dip in space before the mech came out of the other end and seem to be holding something as the ship explodes behind him internally as he crashed into the other and makes it dip as well before he comes out not holding anything before he flies back to Blitz and the strange ship as the hull of the last ship starts to bend and crush itself inward before it was revealed that it was making a small black hole before it collapses on itself as it takes the ship and debris with it as the mech stops beside the strange ship as it turns to Blitz as the shield it was putting out dies down. Blitz looks back to the ship he was dealing with as it was reduced to a crushed ball before hurls it towards the sun with the force.

"So…care to talk? You have seen what we can do and we have seen what you can do. Mutual talking agreement maybe?" A voice asks before a video came on screen of a space suit garb person that he assumed to be the mech pilot that had a heavily tinted visor.

"Was this necessary?" Blitz asks flatly making him nearly face fault.

The man groans as he rubs his helmet. "You sure are hard to please. Guess your children have a hard time with that too. Even your spirit wal…" He starts to cough as he reaches to his neck.

Blitz held out a hand to him, looking very pissed. "Talk about my family again and you and that mech will get the same as that ship, am I understood?" Blitz asks seriously.

"L…" The man tries to call out. "Y…s…" He chokes.

"Good." Blitz says releasing the force choke.

The man coughs under his helmet. "You're lucky. You still have no idea what we are. We could have ended you right there." He coughs as he regains his breathing.

Blitz holds out his hand again and the mech starts to be crushed.

"Idiot! Apologize!" A female voice calls out.

The man yelps as he holds his hands to the side as it glows slightly. "Okay! Sorry! Geez!"

"That is two. One more and you are dead." Blitz promises.

The man holds out a finger before he was cut off. "Let me handle this." The same female voice calls before another video appear of what looks like the interior of the ship and another heavily grab person with a helmet appeared. "Return to the ship." The female says and Blitz can see a sort of glare behind the visor.

"Whatever. I was just having fun." The man said as he pilots the mech that was sparking a bit to the top of the ship as the hatch opens again.

"Sorry, he just loves ticking others off." The female said crossing her arms.

"Then let us cut to the chase. We both know why we are here, so let's get to business." Blitz says.

The female holds up two fingers. "Double statement. Careful or your bookish wife might reprimand you for that. Anyway, I'm guessing you want to talk about the creatures."

"No, do they have my people that recently went missing?" Blitz says.

The female hums. "Yes." She said simply.

"Where?" Blitz asks.

She holds up a hand. "Sorry. Can't let you go that far for the info. But if you ask your children, they might be able to find something."

Blitz twitched a bit as he knew he was stuck. As he swore whether they succeed or fail, he wouldn't interfere.

She sighs and leans back in her seat. "Mortals. Such finicky rules and limitations."

"And setting limits on themselves." The man said walking in the room.

"Do I need to choke a bitch again?" Blitz asks making the female nearly double over in laughter.

The man sighs as he facepalmed on his helmet. "Wrong animal buddy. Try pussy."

"Oh, I am learning so much about you today." Blitz says.

The man chuckles as the female gets control of herself. "Good. Just know we have been watching everything. We could have easily turned on you and make peace with the…oh right, it's just a single piece of metal floating in space." He said looking outside.

"Now who is lying as we both know the emperor would try and destroy you." Blitz says making someone react.

"OH! Burned by logic!"

"Shut up Mat!" The man yells at him.

"That is all we have to speak on. Terran let's go home." Blitz says before turning around and seeing him in a fridge.

"Aw. Such a cute dimension hopper." The female fawns at.

The man just chuckles and shakes his head. "You want a pet, go to the void. I keep telling you. She will give you one."

Terran, hearing this, turns his head with a big ham in his jaws.

"Oh look, a second you." The female says.

The man seems to frown at her. "Shut up. At least I don't bite at everything…then again…" He said looking to her.

"I meant the ham idiot." The female says as Terran tries to eat the ham in one gulp.

"Dang, it girl. That's it, no night for you. No nights for a whole week." He threatened.

"It heat week." Matt spoke up.

The man stops as he remained frozen now.

The female snickers as Blitz shake his head and try to push the ham down and help along Terran.

The man groans. "Fine. And one more thing Blitzy." He said in a teasing tone. "Tell your big AI to look up info for the Three Month War. I'll help narrow it down. It happened on the human's home planet."

"You mean terra of that galaxy?" Blitz asks.

The man chuckles. "What else? After all, I doubt the terra here isn't what you are looking for. The AI will know…just…speak the words." He said waving a hand a bit.

"Ok bitch." Blitz says before cutting the line and the ship left through hyperspace.

"He does realize I'm a male, right?" The man asks taking off his helmet now and lets his ears point upward to their proper positions.

The female giggles as she takes her helmet off to show longer ears that almost drop down her sides with her pink long straight hair. "I think it's because you're my bitch."

The man frowns to her. "I'm going to enjoy this heat week." He said thinking of ways.

The female smirks to him getting a whip. "Not for long."

Apple Bloom groans as she pulls the cart along with Sweetie as they go through the gates, each watched by the big creatures. "Last one of the day." She said hopefully as they reach the pile of ore near the opening of the cave and they go around the other end and tip the ore onto the pile. "Okay, that should be our quota." She said as they start to pull the cart back.

Sweetie frowns. "You think we will get out?"

Apple Bloom hums as she looks deep in thought. "I have a plan, but it's big and it's not going to be ending well for some."

Scootaloo frowns as kept watch at the gates as they close behind them in the narrow corridor. "So…got anything?" She asks getting worried at their state.

Apple Bloom nods. "A few. We might be able to do this."

"Alright, girls. End of the day and dinner time." Ian calls as everyone gets together as the gate.

Apple Bloom and Sweetie unhook themselves as the gate opens and a creatures a cart in before kicking it to the large group who catches it. "Here, since you're new here." Ian said taking out three dark jello like bars and holding it out for them.

Sweetie sticks out her tongue. "What is that?"

Ian smirks a little. "Protein bars. At least we have enough for all species and the turians and quarians get their own." He said as the creature kick in another cart which was caught by the two species before the gate closes.

Apple Bloom sticks out her tongue in disgust as she holds one up. "What is this made out of?"

Ian shrugs as he bites into his as the other two take their own. "No idea. But we have to eat somehow."

Scootaloo gulps down her only last bit of bile she had and bites into the bar. "Taste like crap."

Ian shrugs. "You get use to it here. Besides, how else are you going to stay alive down here?"

"By getting out." Apple Bloom said frowning as she tries to bite into her own bar.

Ian raises an eyebrow. "Really? And what, pray tell, is the plan you have?" He asks leaning down to them.

Apple Bloom spits out the pieces of the bar she had in her mouth. "Yuk. You guys sleep in barrels?" She asks pointing her hoof to the makeshift wall of some wood and barrels filled with blankets.

Ian nods slowly. "What about it?"

Apple Bloom smirks a bit. "I need a riot."

Ian blinks surprised at her that she would suggest that. "Okay." He said slowly. "But why?"

Scootaloo gasps in understanding. "The first three chess moves."

Apple Bloom nods. "Never deviate from it if it works."

Ian blinks slowly as he started to get what she was thinking about. "What did you three do again?"

"Info gathering and strategizing." They said together.

Ian hums before getting up. "Okay. Want a riot? I can make that happen." He said walking back to the eating group as the three step a bit away. "Hey, Krax! You owe me for my pickaxe!" Ian calls and Krax frowns to him.

"I did nothing to your pickaxe soft skin!" Krax calls as he stands up obviously ticked off.

Ian scoffs. "Yeah right. And the broken handle doesn't say much huh pajak?" He insults pushing Krax back into the crowd behind him who were starting to get ticked off.

Krax growls. "You better back off human or I will stomp your skull under my foot." He demands glaring at Ian.

Ian gives an insulting laugh. "I like to see you try!" He said before being knocked down as Krax charges and tackles him into the crowd as the crowd started to fight amongst themselves now.

"Well…that worked better than I thought." Apple Bloom remarked as the whole crowd was starting to throw each other around.

Scootaloo hums as she looks to the gates and sees drones fly in as they surround the crowd. "There's one part."

"Pawn." Apple Bloom said as the drones attempted to shock everyone, but kept failing as they moved around.

Sweetie tilts her head as the creatures come in with whips that seem to glow and starts to wrap their whips around some of the crowd and shock them. "Suppressors."

Apple Bloom nods. "Knights."

They kept watching as the whole crowd was then suppressed as they heard a loud engine coming from the corridor. "And last resort." Scootaloo said.

Apple Bloom frowns. "Bishop. I know what to do about the first two, but the last will be a problem."

Sweetie looks to her. "You sure we are going to make it out?"

Apple Bloom nods. "I'll make sure of it. Just make sure your parts are dealt with once I give them to you."

They both give a salute. "Yes, ma'am." They said as the crowd starts to be under control and separated.

"Now what?" Sweetie asks seeing the creatures and drones start to leave as they heard the engine noise die down.

Apple Bloom sighs and walks toward Ian and Krax. "Not bad you two."

Krax glares at her as he tries to get up. "This was your doing?"

Ian groans as he tries to stand up as well. "You have to admit something, we learned. Never had a riot and now we know what they will do."

Krax glares at him. "This was a plan to get out? Some plan."

Ian waves him off as he leans down to Apple Bloom. "So…got any ideas?"

Apple Bloom smiles. "Oh yeah. I'm getting a few of them. Now let's get started."

"We have coordinates." Azure says.

Arcane moves over to him. "Where?"

"Sector 548." Azure says.

Arcane smiles and looks to Spectrum. "Let's go. Lock it in. What's the area like?" He asks looking back to Azure.

"A few disputed resource planets. The one with the most resources was a rachni hive world in the rachni wars." Venator says.

Arcane hums. "Not so much now right? I mean the hive is gone."

"Yeah, got cleared out." Venator confirms.

"Sound like a perfect place for a base." Spectrum says.

Arcane nods. "And considering that it was used in the war, there might be old base buildings that are still good. The rachni are great engineers…I wonder if they will notice how our hierarchy with changelings is set up?"

"It's a hive hierarchy." Spectrum informs.

Azure nods. "Might be close. Who knows, they might start calling you prince as well." He said smirking.

Arcane shrugs. "As long as we can quickly understand the chittering." He said before trying to mimic the speech as he waves his hooves in front of him.

"Focus." Venator says.

Arcane sighs. "Travel time?"

Venator gets up and smacks Arcane.

Arcane frowns. "Ow." He said rubbing his head. "What was that for?"

"Never bring that up again and focus on the mission!" Venator berated.

Arcane groans. "I was asking how long until we reach the coordinates?"

"Just take a seat and wait. You struck a nerve again with Venator." Spectrum says piloting the ship.

Arcane frowns. "I hate this."

"You hate anything to do with waiting." Lightning says.

Arcane waves his hooves at him.

"I'm hoping we see some action soon." Lightning says.

Arcane huffs. "We might if they are using this base…whatever they are."

Apple Bloom frowns as she pours the last of the cart and pulls it back as she looks to the creatures carrying what looks like a mix of an old weapon with new modifications on it. 'Never used even during the riot. They should have, though, why not?' She asks herself as she enters the cave and untied herself before walking to the others as everyone seem to be taking a breather or rather what looks like one. "Is the ore set?"

Ian nods as he looks around. "Yeah. And the filtration units on the suits are ready."

Apple Bloom nods as she walks along with him. "How much longer until dinner time?"

Ian sighs. "About ten minutes. We need to hurry."

Apple Bloom nods and takes a last look at the gate. "Do it." She said and Ian whistles and everyone starts to get up and grab the makeshift bed barrels before putting them end to end. "We need to hurry girls. You ready Scoots?" She asks looking at her as she fiddles with a quarian's filter system.

Scootaloo nods. "Yep. These things are ready. Though we need to hurry after we activate them."

Apple Bloom smiles gently. "Don't worry. We'll have them out quickly. Krax, you good?"

Krax huffs. "As long as I get revenge." He said pounding his fists together.

"Keep your quad in check. You'll get it." Ian said walking over. "It's ready. On your word." He said looking to the girls as they prepare themselves.

Apple Bloom sighs. "Last chance. Anyone want to back out now?" She asks looking to everyone as they double check everything as they give negative responses. "Okay, let's get it set up."

A few of the group grabs the ropes wrapped around the large piece of barrels and starts to carry it to the gate before they hear the gates opening. "Crap. They're early." Ian harshly whispered.

Apple Bloom frowns as everyone quickly crowds around the tube and cover it from view. "Why didn't they use their guns?" She asks looking up at him sideways.

Ian looks down to her. "What? What kind of question is that? They would want labor, not dead prey."

Apple Bloom shrugs. "Just saying. They have them. Why not kill one to show how serious they are?"

Ian blinks as he looks to the creatures coming through the gates with two crates. "You're right." He said before dropping his rope and Apple Bloom quickly holds up the tube with her back as he walks up and grabs everyone's attention.

"Stupid human. This is the worst plan ever." Krax remarked as Ian walks by him and out into the open as one of the creatures points it's weapon at him and he kept walking up as it said something to him in its language before Ian grabs the barrel and holds it up to his head and pulls the trigger himself and it clicks empty as he stared wide-eyed at the creature looking a bit shocked.

"They have no bullets!" Scootaloo yells before everyone charges as the rest start to carry the tube and carry it over past the gates as the others kept the creatures down as Ian takes the gun and hits the creature in the face with it before two turians tackle it and hurries to quickly help carry the tube through the closing gates before they swing back and then toss the tube to the last one getting dead close to closing before it slams into the tube.

"Scoots!" Apple Bloom yells as Scootaloo and three quarians run up and Scootaloo holds a makeshift trigger connected by a wire to each of the filter units as the drones fly in and head straight for them before she flips the switch and the quarians starts coughing as the drones stutter in the air before flying straight into the ground offline.

"Krax! Let's go!" Apple Bloom yells as Sweetie holds up the mining tools with her magic as Krax and a few other krogans run past and grab them as the suppressor creatures came running at them.

Krax laughs as he kept running before punching one straight into its face and sends it down. "I am krogan! And you better remember that!" He yells and stomps on its face.

Apple Bloom frowns as she tries to understand the gate controls as everyone kept trying to slip through the opening. "Got it!" She yelled and hits a button and the gates start opening. "Get the ropes!" She yelled grabbing a chain with Sweetie helping with her magic as they all started to run out near the cave entrance.

The creatures near the entrance yells something in their language as a ship comes up to them and they start running outside and either tackle or punch the creatures nearby the entrance before Apple Bloom and Sweetie finally make a makeshift lasso from the chain. "Now!" She yells and Sweetie sends the chain flying and grab onto a wing as they both hang on as the ship started to try to fly away before almost everyone grabs the chain or tie ropes and hold onto their parts. "Slack and pull on three." Apple Bloom calls as they give a little slack. "One! Two! Three!" She yells and they jerk hard and make the ship tip over before it started to lose its balance and slam its side into the ground.

"Alright!" The three mares cheered as they high-hoofed as the crowd started to cheer and celebrate.

Ian laughs. "Not bad you three. I never expected less." He said as the quarians started to work on their filter systems to get them working again.

Apple Bloom grins. "Well, we do work hard. Can't be good informants if we don't do much." She said before looking to the rocky terrain and the smoke where the ship crashed off the side of a cliff. "Now let's see what the ship had and maybe we can find a way out." She said as they all rushed over before it all burned away and stops at the edge of the cliff.

"Um…cute things…you have a plan for this, right?" Krax asks.

The three shake their heads slowly as they all look towards a base that was filled with so many of those creatures all looking at them as they all held laser powered weapons.

As the creatures charged, there were the sounds of gunshots and an RPG being fired. Then most of them fell from either an energy arrow or a bullet while the rest were blown to pieces.

"The fuck…?" Ian asks confused as they all duck to avoid anything before seeing a group of five came over the high cliff on the side shooting at any of them.

"Is that our aunts down there?" Lightning asks.

Azure looks over and narrows his eyes. "They are. The heck are they doing here?" He asks before firing another arrow.

"Wipe them out. No one enslaves our family." Arcane says mad.

They all move away as Arcane opens his wings and starts to fly while shooting at everything as the others kept trying to go their own way.

"Is that our nephews and niece?" Scootaloo asks.

"Missiles for all you targets!" Lightning cries launching a multi-rocket pod at the aliens trying to mobilize.

Scootaloo sighs. "Yep. That's my sis's foals."

The moment Venator landed, he changed into his humanoid form and started firing at targets of opportunity with the shredder.

Ian frowns and grabbing a pickaxe and throws it to a creature nearby and strikes it in the head. "Well, I'm not standing around here." He said heading down the slope and picks up whatever it had and looks it over.

One of the aliens ran up to Venator and tries to slice him with a sword only for Venator to dodge by mere centimeter in a spin as he withdraws a knife from his wrist armor and stabs it in one of its eyes before bringing the shredder's muzzle onto the chest area and unloads the last nine bullets of the clip.

Arcane growls a bit as he flies right down to one and starts to carry it along before taking out his knife and stabs it into its chest and slices outward before throwing it into the ground and shoots a bit before flying off to the next.

"Let's test the full auto function of my new gun." Lightning says taking out his DC-17m with the blaster attachment and opens up on a few of the aliens that had been scattered instead of killed by his rockets.

Spectrum laughs as she drops some grenades onto a group and takes them out. "Looks like it works!" She cheers watching him a bit.

"Sis, go check on the aunts, ok?" Lightning asks.

Spectrum gives a salute before heading over where they were all still watching. "Aunties!" She cheers and hugs them. "Are you okay?"

"We are fine Spectrum." Scootaloo chokes out.

Spectrum laughs and nervously and lets up on the grip. "Sorry." Before whipping out her new DL-44 heavy blaster and blast one of the aliens getting too close.

Sweetie smiles. "Got another one of those?" She asks as Krax hurries over and grabs the weapon off the body.

"Oh a krogan, would you like this?" Spectrum asks pulling out a Graal Spike Thrower.

Krax laughs. "A pride of Tungka." He said coming over and takes it. "Not bad cute thing. At least now I can really fight." He said before roaring and running off into the fight.

"Call me cute thing again and I will remove all your testicles with this knife." Spectrum threatens, holding up a combat knife.

"Whatever!" Krax yells shooting point blank into a creature and sending it away.

"Aunties, take this. It will lead you to our corvette. Take all the prisoners who will leave to it and open the reserve armory." Spectrum says handing them a locator device.

Scootaloo raises an eyebrow. "When did you become bossy?"

"Move!" Spectrum yells with authority making sure who she resembled more between her father, mother, Spitfire, or Hurricane.

Scootaloo smiles a bit. "Great to see ya kid. Come on girls." She said before they all rush off as Ian, Krax, and a few others stayed and grab some guns and started to shoot back.

"Lightning, close two of those exits they are coming out of!" Arcane ordered.

Lightning gives a quick salute before flying off and fires two dumb fire rockets and hits the doorways and makes them collapse and crash onto one of them.

"Now pour fire down on the remaining exit!" Arcane orders.

Everyone immediately turns to the last exit and opens fire with everything they had and starts to set on fire and explode everything that was there and soon slowly stops with all the firepower before firing at the stragglers either limping or running away.

"What do you think?" Venator asks holstering his other weapons and gets his sniper out.

Arcane frowns. "Anything still coming our way?"

"Not from there, but should I drop the ones fleeing?" Venator asks.

Arcane nods as he lands onto the ground and looks to the partially destroyed base. "Let's grab whatever they left behind and bring it to Tek and Eve. Maybe they can figure something out from all this." He said walking up to the prisoners who were now standing there. "Who's the leader?"

Ian waves. "Right here…sort of. First sergeant Ian Mac. Nice to meet you."

"Get Urdnot Grunt on the line as well. Tell him that we have some of his people here." Arcane adds.

Spectrum nods and starts calling up some lines. "Should we tell uncle Spike he can calm down?" She asks as she starts sending messages.

Arcane chuckles. "I have a feeling our aunties already have that covered."

Spike's tail twitches as he kept everything about him calm. "Girls." He tries to say calmly.

They all grin. "Spikey." Sweetie said.

Spike opens his mouth before a forkful of chocolate cake was put into his mouth. "Eat up. I'll handle this." Slender said coming onto the screen and pushes Spike away with a plate. "Are you girls okay?" She asks concerned as Ridley was loading a dart gun in the background.

"The tranqs?" Scootaloo asks.

Slender looks behind her. "Ridley, you can put that away now. I'll make sure the girls are on the first shuttle back with an armed guard too."

"Yeah…our nephews and niece rescued us." Apple Bloom says.

Slender hums. "Must have stumbled onto you. We actually had no idea where you are. Guess this investigation is more connected than we thought."

"They had us mining and seemed confused by our appearance." Sweetie Bell says.

Spike leans in. "Let's be honest, most contacts out there in space are walking on two legs." He said before stuffing more cake into his mouth. "How did they get you out?" He asks with his mouth full.

"We kinda busted out of the mine when we rioted and they came in when we encountered armed resistance." Scootaloo said.

Spike raises an eyebrow as he stopped chewing. "You busted out?"

"Yep." Sweetie Belle says.

Spike blinks. "Tell me about it when I have you three with me."

"Will do…also, we might want to contact the krogan and the other members of the council." Scootaloo says pausing in the middle.

Spike hums. "I'll let Twilight and Blitz handle the big parts. Just give me time. How big of a pickup are we talking here?"

"Another Corvette or two if they continue with the assignment they have been given." Apple Bloom says.

Spike snaps his claws behind him and Ridley walks off. "Okay then. Let's see about getting you girls home…and maybe the other prisoners too." He said before taking a big bite. "I'll save some cake." He said with his mouth full.

All three wave before the line is cut. "Okay…well…that was a fun time." Scootaloo said as they walk out toward the ramp where some were standing guard and others were being healed up.

Sweetie bumps into her side. "Shut up. It was Tartarus. At least we got most of them out alive."

Apple Bloom smiles. "And we are getting in good graces with this. So you have to admit, those aliens helped out in some way."

"Besides target practice for our niece and nephews?" Scootaloo asks.

Apple Bloom bumps her side. "Quiet down Scoots. We're safe, they're safe, and we got whatever they had to boot. What's better?"

"The fact we will be sleeping on real beds soon." Scootaloo says.

Sweetie shrugs. "Or in Spike's circle again."

"Tell me you got something Tek and Eve." Arcane says after waiting for twenty-four hours.

Tek hums as he looks over the data. "Well…truth be told…it's almost still gibberish. I said almost." He said noticing the frown. "What we got, for now, is literally data on any species that they have encountered. Mostly what we are like."

"Can you tell me where their main base is then?" Arcane asks.

Tek hums. "Seems to me it's close by where you attacked the mining base. Somewhere on a cold moon. I'll get precise coordinates when you are ready to head out again."

"Guys, suit up. We have the coordinates of their main base." Arcane says.

Tek sighs. "I'll have it by the time you are going to get onto the ship." He said walking back to Eve.

"Pack plenty of ammo and everything." Arcane adds over the communicator.

Tek rolls his eyes as Eve stood before a screen as Arcane walks away. "Are you okay?" He asks carefully.

Eve looks to him. "A block has been removed."

"And here I just thought you were staring at my flank." Tek asks jokingly.

Eve blinks. "The Three Months War is a dark one. Bigger than the Reaper War itself."

"Really?" Tek asks interestedly.

Eve nods. "It not only decided the fate of the galaxy, but also the universe itself. But the only reason it was kept out of all the forms of information was to protect the species of humans themselves."

Tek tilts his head as he wraps a hoof around her. "Any reason why?"

Eve blinks. "They wipe every memory bank there is, including biological. Why cut out a memory of this victory as when humanity has reached and saved at this scale? It could have sent the human race to a higher level among all alien species."

"To not let a single victory go to their heads." Blitz said walking in. "Sometimes it's the many trials among a journey that make a person or a race in this case. Not a single one-shot victory."

Eve looks to him. "Is it right to do this to a single race?"

"No, unless you are a god, you don't have the right to." Tek says.

Eve tilts her head as she thought about it. "They might be. Entries tell that they became gods or something akin to them at the end of the war."

Blitz raises an eyebrow. "Oh? What were they like?"

Eve tilts her head. "One soldier's entry described one as a cocky loudmouth bastard with sharp teeth."

Blitz gains a deadpan look at that. "Yeah. I know who you are talking about now."

Tek looks confused. "Is this about those guys you met on the contract? Because he seemed like a cocky loudmouth bastard."

"And doesn't know when to shut his mouth. I almost killed him when he talked about my family." Blitz says.

Tek hums. "Maybe he's trying to rile you up for something."

"Well two thing are for sure, he is someone's bitch and he needs to replace most of the parts for his mech as I crushed a lot of internal stuff." Blitz said.

Tek shrugs. "If they can do all this, I'm sure replacing is not hard for them."

"It's more of a statement than anything. Lets him know I can hurt him without them knowing it." Blitz says patting Eve.

Eve barely reacts as she kept looking over the information.

"So…are you going to have an official wedding or a private one?" Blitz asks.

Tek smiles. "I'm hoping for a public, but…if she wants to do it privately, I can live with it."

"What about you my daughter in law?" Blitz asks.

Eve slowly looks to him. "Is there any benefit to the choices?"

"Yes. So have you told Min…" Blitz stops as he was tackled.

Tek grins. "She has been waiting for a while now."

"Hi, dear." Blitz greets.

Minerva giggles. "Hi, honey and foremost partner in life. Are you okay?" She asks looking him over.

"You did tackle me." Blitz says.

Minerva stops and looks embarrassed. "Heh, heh. Sorry." She said chuckling nervously.

"Now let me up and tell me any plans for this?" Blitz asks.

Minerva sighs as she gets off of him and he gets back up. "I'm planning for both choices. Just need to the choice to be made by our bride and groom first before I start."

"Oh let them take the time to choose. They are young." Blitz says holding her.

Minerva hums and leans against him. "Remember when you were young?"

"Yeah. Everything seemed so urgent. So much seemed to need to do so quickly." Blitz says petting her as the bundle on her back stirred.

Minerva smiles and looks to her back. "Well…it's still the same."

"Who is napping on your back?" Blitz asks.

Minerva rolls her eyes and bumps against his side. "It's your little filly stallion. Our daughter." She said as the bundle yawns and sits up and rubs her eyes.

"Hey, how is my four year old?" Blitz asks.

The filly looks to him before yawning cutely again.

"Come on Selly. You got anything to say to your dad?" Blitz asks.

Selly giggles and grabs onto his nose. "Da."

"That is right." Blitz says petting her.

Selly giggles and bites onto his nose.

"Hey, now Selly, no biting your dad." Minerva says trying to get her off.

Selly coos as she kept a nice grip on his nose and made him squeak. "Da." She cheers muffled.

"Ok Selly, stop trying to play mom and dad." Tek say making her giggle.

"But it is fun." Selly says.

Blitz pokes her stomach. "You little trickster."

Selly sticks her tongue out before Blitz raspberries her stomach.

Selly giggles and tries to push him away. "Daddy." She said giggling.

"You have a good nap?" Blitz asks.

Selly nods. "Yep. A very good one."

"Will you give your dad a real hug now?" Blitz asks.

Selly laughs and jumps off of Minerva and hugs Blitz. "I love you, daddy."

"Daddy loves you too." Blitz says hugging her back as Minerva raspberries Selly's back.

Selly giggles and turns to her. "Mommy."

"Yes?" Minerva asks.

Selly pokes her nose. "You're a mean pony."

Minerva gasped over dramatically. "Did you hear that?"

Blitz nods. "I think somepony needs a virus check. Want to do the honors?" He asks smirking.

"You're right. It is time for her check up." Minerva says getting her daughter and making her regret her choice of words.

Selly quickly shakes her hooves. "Wait, no. I didn't mean it." She pleaded.

"Don't worry. Your big brother will examine you." Minerva says.

Selly looks pleadingly to Tek. "Big bro, please!"

"He isn't going to give you a shot." Tek says.

Selly screams dramatically. "Help me! I'm going to be probed!"

"Seems she has her mother's passion for acting." Blitz whispers to Tek.

Tek chuckles as they kept watching Selly trying to get out of her mother's grip.

"So what do you and Eve have?" Blitz asks.

Tek hums as he looks to him. "Have what?"

"On the aliens. I know you two already have their language translated." Blitz says.

Tek smiles. "Oh yeah. We got halfway done for sure. The others are on a question for now, but it should help."

"What do they call themselves?" Blitz asks.

Tek hums. "Fallen."

"They call themselves the fallen? Is that a group name or their species?" Blitz asks.

Tek shrugs. "Apparently, it's what we're supposed to call them."

"Good job." Blitz says before hugging Tek.

Tek chuckles. "At least we can put a name to these guys."

"I will leave you two alone." Blitz says.

Tek smiles and turns to Eve watching him. "Want to get some rest?"

Eve nods and follows him to bed before starting to rest her change circuits.

Arcane yawns loudly as he laid on the couch. "Okay, anyone still tired or ready to go?"

"Ready…where is my brother?" Spectrum asks before they heard an explosion from the shooting range.

"Boom baby!"

Arcane points to the direction of the explosion. "There."

"Venator, could you get him?" Spectrum asks.

"On it. Just don't expect me to subdue him if he shoots me." Venator said walking off.

"Hey bro, look at this sweet grenade attachment." Blast says from the other room seeing his brother.

Arcane shakes his head and sits up. "Want some escape proof rope on the next trip?"

"Can it be explosion proof as well?" Spectrum asks raising an eyebrow.

Arcane waves a hoof as he gets up. "At least we know our next stop."

Azure hums. "Cold moon. Maybe we can play badass music when we assault the base. Or do you want a more quiet stealth option?"

"Stealth is the key for the start. We slip in and take out their perimeter defenses then we call in reinforcements and finish this." Arcane says.

Azure smirks. "At least this part will be over. Heck, we should get hazard pay out of this."

"What hazard pay?" Arcane asks.

"a large amount of money for dangerous jobs like dealing with something that can kill you at any time or over time and it's guaranteed. Usually, high risk jobs. And the amounts are in the hundreds of thousands." Spectrum explained.

"We already get that payment. The amount doesn't change." Venator says.

Spectrum shrugs. "It only happens if you got a stable job. Not a job listing like bounty hunting."

"Speaking of which, what is our job…we spec ops or what?" Blast asks.

Azure hums. "I don't know. Hard to tell with what we do."

"Lifting off." Spectrum says jerking everyone, but her as they were not braced.

"Dang, it sis. Watch it." Arcane said stretching and they heard loud cracks from him and make them wince.

Blitz yawns as he laid his head on the desk. "So tired. So hungry. So…lustful hungry?" He asks himself.

"Oh, Blitz, you in here?" Octavia asks walking in.

"Here honey." Blitz says tiredly.

Octavia smiles a bit as walks over. "Are you okay?"

"Tired is all." Blitz says looking to her.

Octavia giggles as she spins a bit in her frilly old style princess dress. "Like what you see? Figure that since I'm an age-old vampire, might as well try my time of outfits."

"Octy, you're not old. You're not even in your mid-forties." Blitz says smiling.

Octavia chuckled. "Aw. Such a sweetheart. Something that I like to suck at." She said licking her lips.

"It is not feeding time Octy." Blitz reminds.

Octavia gives a playful hurt look. "But you do feed me. Almost every day."

"Yes, at nine fifteen with blood packs." Blitz says.

Octavia giggles and leans on him. "So…want to spend some time away from your papers?"

"Maybe I should." Blitz says wrapping a hoof around her.

Octavia giggles and grins. "So…what do you want to do?"

"Well let's…" Blitz stops looking into 'Octavia's' eyes.

Octavia tilts her head confused. "What is it?"

"…well done Blizzard. You fooled me good. Only mistake. The eyes." Blitz says.

Blizzard sighs. "Hey, dad. Thanks."

"You have help or do this on your own?" Blitz asks.

Blizzard smiles and sits on the desk. "All on my own. I love my life."

"By memory or with an image?" Blitz asks.

Blizzard shrugs. "Both. Do I look pretty enough?"

Blitz says nothing as somepony walked in.

"What the heck…am I looking at?" Octavia asks looking to Blizzard on the desk.

"Can you guess who this is?" Blitz asks.

Octavia hums as she walks over. "Wait…no. I got nothing."

"This is DD's eldest. Did you sleep with her?" Blitz jokes.

Octavia hits him over the head. "Shut up. And well…he does make me look good. Especially with the outfit. Where did you…?" She stops as Blizzard takes out a manga with a cover of a boy wearing a girl's outfit from his dress. "Oh. It looks good."

Blitz smiles and picks up Octavia and hugs her.

Octavia giggles and snuggles into him. "So what are you doing here Blizzard? Testing yourself out?"

"Yeah, I fooled dad. All I need is to change my eye color without contacts and he wouldn't have even known." Blizzard says.

Octavia chuckled. "Just don't go too far or it might become weird."

"I know and I know dad will probably be more cautious from now on." Blizzard says as Blitz kisses Octavia's neck.

Octavia moans as she shows more of her neck. "So…I'm curious. You are a stallion, but because of this…are you going for…" She waves her hooves in the air a bit.

Blizzard chuckles. "Come on mom. Dad knows I'm bi."

"But he favors mares more." Blitz says making Blizzard smirk.

Blizzard grins. "Oh yeah. It's just when I dress up like this, I just get into the act. Stallions always fall head over hooves with this on me. Strange I got like half the features of a mare, though. What did you say mom went through?" He asks leaning towards them.

Blitz was silent for a bit before sighing. "I guess you are old enough to understand. Years ago…" Blitz says starting to tell the story about how they first met Starlight and her village. "And as such, DD was turned into a mare." Blitz finishes.

Blizzard looked worried. "But she…he…I don't know anymore." He groans putting his hooves on his head.

"Your mother is a she through and through now. The spell changed her as if she was born a mare." Blitz clarifies.

Blizzard sighs. "So…the reason I have some features like a mare is…because of that?"

"The spell has nothing to do with it. That is just you taking after your mother." Blitz says.

Blizzard groans and rubs his face. "Well…I guess it's time to head to Illium. Might as well get my mind off of this."

"Let me put it this way son. If that were the case, why is your little brother bigger and have a very masculine look about him?" Blitz asks.

Blizzard chuckles. "Oh right. He does have the problem of being good looking at times. I heard some mares are playfully planning a wedding."

Blitz shakes his head as Octavia lays against him.

Blizzard sighs. "Well…better get going. I got time to get to my contract. Still need some good makeup done."

"What contract?" Blitz asks.

Blizzard hums. "Have to sit in on a deal that may go wrong and possibly illegal by Illium standards. Going to play a mare that is part of the group from a company of our planet. Seriously, Illium is a contract death hole."

"So you are going to help catch white-collar criminals?" Blitz asks.

Blizzard grins. "Oh yeah. Safer…mostly than blue collar crimes. Besides, I might find somepony, maybe two."

"They do tend to be less violent. Also, look for a nice mare for yourself there." Blitz teases.

Blizzard smiles. "Maybe a stallion to get the whole package. I love being held."

"But we all know you like mares more." Octavia teases, remembering he only ever had marefriends.

Blizzard giggles. "Well, I have to go get ready. And get out of the look you have mom."

"Don't sign anything without consulting your brother Blazer." Blitz says.

Blizzard nods. "Sure dad. Just don't sign anything without consulting him yourself."

"Now where was I?" Blitz asks rubbing Octavia's inner thigh once Blizzard had left and he locked the door and sealed it.

Octavia hums. "You were about to take me on your desk." She said grinning and hissing quietly.

"You get a partner for this choice." Blitz says.

"DD, are you free?" Octavia calls over her omnitool.

"Sure. What do you need?" DD asks.

Blitz nods before teleporting her into his lap with Octavia.

DD blinks confused. "Um…?"

"Let's have some fun, shall we?" Blitz asks.

DD looks between them before smirking and flicks her tail around. "Awesome." She said grinning.

"Good, because both of you will be baring a new foal." Blitz says before going to work on them.

"I'm surprised you guys made it this far. Hardly any of the other species did as much as you." Spike said as he helps gives the trouble maker squad some of the ships.

"Spike, can you get back to deploying the troops on the stealth gunships? The attack is about to commence as soon as our niece and nephews take out the perimeter defenses." Scootaloo reminds.

Spike turns to her and waves his glove covered hand. "Why do you think I'm wearing this?" He asks wiggling his claws and almost ten movements went by on his screen.

"Spike, why are you just waving your claw?" Sweetie Belle asks.

Spike shrugs. "After the whole fiasco with my first meltdown, R&D came up with a glove for the littlest movements. Course…it does have some glitches, it still works. Now there's barely a need for a full control panel."

"Then why are the gunships not moving into position?" Apple Bloom asks.

Spike sighs. "Direct control from the panel. Like I said, the littlest movements so it makes sense to have them connected to the troop movement."

"So it is basically for games?" Scootaloo asks.

Spike raises an eyebrow. "That and real life. It actually works well in ports all over."

"Can we get back on topic? Are we fielding the new mass production medium walkers and aerial vehicles?" Sweetie Belle asks.

Spike nods. "We might test out our new ones off the line and show them off as 'The Vehicles That Help Eradicate the Fallen.' We might get funding and everything to speed things along." Spike calls out.

"Spike, you have been not reading reports again. The Jackhammers and the Thunderhawks have been fully tested and are being mass produced." Apple Bloom says.

Spike sighs. "Can you blame me, I don't read many reports like that. Once they are in production and all that crap. I just read the important bits that are useful."

"What are the standard armaments on the two new models?" Apple Bloom asks.

Spike stops. "Um…miniguns?" He tries looking sheepish.

The three shared a look then looked back to him with a neutral stare.

Spike chuckles nervously. "It's not…isn't it?"

Scootaloo pushes a few buttons and pulls up the reports.

Spike sighs and slouches. "Fine. I'll read."

Apple Bloom smirks as he reads through them.

Scootaloo chuckles and leans over. "Do you think he would be reading them all now?"

"As long as we get onto him about it." Applebloom says.

Sweetie Belle grins. "Then after this, we press it hard on him."

"Good plan." Scootaloo says.

Apple Bloom smiles. "Then we are in agreement. Now let's get things done here."

"Yeah." The three say high-hoofing.

Slender clears her throat and taps their shoulders. "Can we get things moving?"

"I concur. We really need this assault happening. It's only a matter of time until those things recognize they are about to be fucked up." Ridley said taking over the movements.

"Ok, we got the explosives planted on the turrets and the two pillboxes on the fortress walls." Venator says as he and Azure join them after dealing with the explosives.

"Blast, you want to do the honors?" Arcane offers.

Blast giggles crazily and hops around as he takes the detonator. "Now?" He asks excitedly.

"Make some noise." Arcane says.

Blast cheers and jumps before pressing the button and large explosions blew out from the valley below them and sent a shockwave that blew them back slightly. "Awesome!" Blast cheers.

Azure smirks. "Epic rock music time?"

"Do what you wish." Arcane says.

Azure chuckles he loads up a song. "Alright then. Let's get going." He said grabbing his bow.

"What is the ETA for the reinforcements?" Arcane asks.

Spectrum smiles. "Five minutes to do what we want."

"Let's calm the greatest glory for ourselves and kill their leader." Arcane says.

"Since when did you become a poet?" Venator asks smirking.

"Venator, don't turn into momma Daring please." Arcane says.

Venator chuckles. "Alright then. Let's get down there badass style. Blast…you're up and loose." He said smirking.

"Hooray!" Blast calls before letting loose with his grenades and missiles he had brought, making it look like a surgical artillery strike.

Azure shakes his head and smiles. "The one place he can go crazy. Arcane, make it official with the leader." He said walking by and tosses a sword to him.

"Alright." Arcane says taking off.

Venator sighs. "You think he would be fine?" He asks taking out his new hunting rifle.

Azure smiles. "The perfect way to let off steam. Look at him go already. He's rivaling Blast on kills." He said as they watch Arcane fly straight into a crowd of the fallen running out and kills them as he passes by.

"Wait till he starts throwing lightning and his lightsaber. And there." Spectrum says scoring a headshot with her blaster pistol.

Azure grins as he pulls back on his bow string. "Well…if anything, he's got dad's style." He said before letting go and hits two back to back.

"Is that a good thing?" Blast asks.

Azure hums. "As long as…yeah…never mind." He said as they watch Arcane force push away a wall of fallen. "Yeah. He's got a lot to dish out."

"So what are they bringing? It will be hard to get the armor not being readied for war here." Spectrum says.

Azure nods. "Simply, fast moving ground troops. Though the first best thing is actually two mechs."

"But the Zoids and the walkers are being readied for war." Spectrum says.

Azure looks to her. "Then why did some of the finances go to mech building…unless dad is repurposing the old PTX mech. Still a cool one."

"But it is too expensive to make parts for them and they are too heavily specialized to frozen planets." Spectrum says.

Azure hums. "Makes you wonder what is going on behind our backs."

"I hear missiles." Blast says stopping, his ear twitching.

They all stop for a moment and listen in as their ears perk up before they all look up and sees missiles flying in and then bombards the building that was dug into the moon landscape, obliterating the walls and making holes as some of the fallen flew out from the blast.

"Where did that come from?" Azure asks scratching his head.

"Mark Five Javelin burst missiles. Good anti-personnel and for destroying light defenses and damaging medium." Blast says.

"Leave it to my brother to be able to identify what missiles those were from the impact." Spectrum says sweat dropping.

Azure sighs. "Get back to shooting. We'll think about it later."

"It's odd. None of our mechs or fighters use that missile. Did dad send artillery to aid us?" Blast thinks out loud.

Azure tilts his head. "Who wants to fly and look for it?"

"Huh?" Venator asks, noticing the ones still on the walls preparing for something they could obviously see as she notices a few of their tanks were moving up to defend.

Azure leans over. "Huh. What do you know? Dad did invest."

They then heard the Fallen start to yell as they heard something hitting the walls and it was making them rumble.

Azure nods. "Yep. Dad made a good investment."

"Cracks are forming and they are abandoning the wall." Venator points out as some were even jumping off the wall or stairs.

Azure smirks. "Can you pick them off?"

"Please remember who you are talking to." Venator says starting to shoot.

Azure chuckles and starts firing again.

"OUT OF MY WAY!" Arcane yells as he picks up a fallen with the force before throwing it in front of him and knocks down every one of them before flying off again.

He kept knocking down any that got too close and even trips some up with his magic as he uses his lightsaber to slice through easy ones within reach and uses his blaster pistol as he fires every which way.

A fallen got close as it came up behind him and Arcane just frowns before turning the lightsaber and switches on and goes right through it. "I'm sorry. Were you trying to kill me?" Arcane asks turning his head to it before using his magic and flings it into the crowd.

"Who else?!" He yells and almost all of them charges before he uses a shield spell and blows it up and knocks most of them down. "Not worth my time!" He yells and flies up before heading for the top most window looking part of the building and crashes through it and fires and stabs at every single fallen in the room before coming to a sliding stop in front of a large one with horn like metal parts on its helmet with a lot of little pipes connected to the mouth area as its many eye holes glow bright yellow as it wore a red cape on its back and around its neck while spiked padulians adorn its shoulders and scattered armour plates and wrappings covered its limbs as every other fallen falls dead. "You! How about you come here and I fuck you up?!" He declares as he puts everything away and takes out the old style sword.

The fallen uses its robotic arm and stomps a large metal rod into the ground as it stood up and Arcane cranes his head up to follow its head. "Wow. You're big, but I fought bigger." He said grinning as his eyes glowed before he moved behind it and swipes as its waist before moving to the front of it. "Seriously? This what I have to face?! I fought rancors bigger and harder than you!" He taunts.

The fallen growls and seems to clench its claws before charging at him and Arcane barely dodges to the side before trying to swipe at its arm and it blocks it with the rod it was holding before lifting it up and pointing the end at him and Arcane quickly ducks his head as it fires and makes a hole in the ground behind him. "Fuck you asshole!" He yells as he knocks the rod away before stabbing it all the way to the hilt and backs off before the fallen looks to the sword and pulls it out before throwing it away. "Okay then." Arcane said before taking out his blaster and flies off as he fires while the fallen fires back at him and makes holes in the room.

The fallen roars at him and keeps firing away as Arcane uses his wings to turn on the metal supports covering the room as he keeps hitting the fallen and aims solely on its leg joints or what could be leg joints before ducking under another shot from it and flies straight at it before ducking again and gets under it before bucking his hind legs and makes it fly up before using his blaster to fire off a few shots and brings the sword to him with the force and prepares to cut it as it falls back down to him and he quickly swipes at it and slices off its arm and part of the armor covering its leg and quickly backs off.

The fallen roars as it pounds the ground and gets back up before grabbing the rod again and swings it down onto Arcane and he blocks it with the sword before starting to shoot at it with his blaster up close and aiming at its arm joint and was able to put some burnt holes into it before swinging the sword and rod away before slicing off its other arm. "Any last words?" Arcane asks raising as an eyebrow as he holds the blade to its neck.

The fallen growls and Arcane ducks an energy shot from behind him and aims his blaster at the fallen coming around the corner before hitting it and knocks it down. "Nice try." He said still holding his sword against its neck. "I am not so easily distracted. Besides, how else would I win?" He asks smirking before turning and slices his sword and cuts its neck and makes reddish purple blood spurt out as it fell to the ground, still leaking blood.

Arcane sighs as he looks around before shrugging. "Might as well live a little." He said to himself before taking a seat on the rustic throne. "Give them credit, they make good thrones."

"Seriously?" Venator asks walking in with everypony else.

Spectrum shrugs. "Keep what you kill. It's a classic."

Azure smiles. "Great job little bro. You know, they all stopped fighting for some weird reason."

Arcane raises an eyebrow. "Really? That's weird."

"Our leader has fallen. What do you wish?" A voice asks as the others take out their weapons and aim towards the fallen that came around the corner.

Arcane blinks and rubs his head. "What?" He asks confused as he heard a female voice from the fallen.

"Our leader has been struck down by you. What do you wish of us?" The fallen asks looking to him as the others were a bit confused.

Arcane blinks and slowly reaches out a hoof and types in a number on his omnitool before it rings and picks up. "Hello, Arcane. What do you need?" Twilight asks happily.

Arcane blinks confused as he watches the fallen. "Mom…what happened when you became queen of the changelings?"

Twilight hums confused for a bit. "Well…mainly Chrysalis knocked me out and then transferred all of her mind to mine and we became one. Thereby, in turn, becoming queen. Having the hive speak in my mind was coming after I woke up. Why?"

Arcane looks to the others who seem to gain the idea of what he was talking about. "I think I just became king."

"Is it the Rachni?" Twilight asks sweat dropping.

Arcane shakes his head slowly. "No…it's the aliens we are fighting."

Twilight was silent before she spoke again. "I need to speak with your father." She said before calling him on the same line.

"Yello." Blitz said relaxing in his chair at his desk.

Twilight facehoofed. "Blitz, get them out from under the desk."

Blitz chuckles. "Alright. Take off girls." He said before they saw two heads pass by under the camera. "Sorry about that. When I saw Twilight on the ID, I didn't know you would be on the line." He said looking to Arcane.

"No comment. It never happened and…" Arcane was cut off when he heard an explosion outside. Arcane growls and quickly gets up before blowing open the lower window and looks to see the fighting still going on. "ENOUGH!" He yells in the Royal Canterlot Voice and over the radio that made some of them spark and everyone stop what they were doing.

"Arcane…" Twilight said shocked he was able to use that voice.

"What? You didn't know?" Blitz asks.

"When have we had a need for it?" Twilight asks miffed.

"We can discuss this later. What do you need?" Blitz asks.

Twilight looks a bit worried now. "I think Arcane…just became king…of the aliens."

"The ones that I sent reinforcements to help kill?" Blitz asks.

Arcane finally looks to them and points the camera to the bowing fallen in the room. "Answer your question?"

"Get me Ridley." Blitz says.

Arcane quickly calls up the number and catches Ridley by surprise. "Um…need something? Air strike?" He asks confused.

"Recall the new units. The situation has had an interesting development." Blitz says.

Ridley blinks confused. "Okay. I'll get right on it." He said getting the orders out.

"Arcane, get your siblings and return. We have much to discuss this." Blitz says.

Arcane became a little confused. "What about…these things?" He asks waving a hoof to the fallen.

"Yes. I hope to see you soon and honey, you think you can trade out Luna for a bit to be here for this?" Blitz asks.

Twilight nods. "I'll see what I can do." She said starting to sending messages.

"Also." Blitz says before holding up a hoof and Twilight hears choking behind her.

Twilight leans on her hoof, bored now before slowly turning around. "Hi there. So…yeah…you're going to die. Happy trails." She said before turning back to them. "Have a safe trip sweetie."

"I am not going to kill him, love. No. I have had enough of this. Get me the Salarian councilor…in fact, all the councilors. This ends today. Either with war or that Dalatrass being deposed from her position. Also, get Wrex on the line while I do this. Let's see if our Krogan friends will back us with this." Blitz says.

Twilight nods. "Arcane sweetie, we're going to be busy. Just make it back home safe." She said before cutting his line.

"Wrex, you there?" Blitz asks as Twilight starts making calls on another terminal, keeping that one connected so he could make sure the Salarian wasn't going anywhere.

"Ugh. Ponies again. Cute things. What is it?" The age old krogan asks trying to relax in his seat.

"Wrex, you know who I am. And please no jokes. I am one decision away from declaring war on the Salarians." Blitz says getting his full attention.

Wrex raises an eyebrow. "Did you finally kill an important slug?"

"No, they targeted my wife again." Blitz says showing him the salarian now being slammed against a wall repeatedly.

Wrex chuckles as he watches the show. "Not bad dealing with him. Heard that their liver taste good raw. Any case, support for the stupid pyjacks of a council?"

"It's mostly their current Dalatrass. I don't think I need to remind you what her great grandmother tried to get the legendary hero Shepard to do so many years ago." Blitz says.

Wrex huffs. "Don't remind me. Alright. I'll get you some support. Just expect a firing squad." He said grinning.

"Don't worry. We will get her either in a war or by abducting her secretly. Heck, her government might do it for us so we both don't send forces to stop them." Blitz says.

Wrex chuckles. "Where's the fun?"

"Truth be told, we should conserve our strength as much as possible for the empire. They already made one attempt to take territory back they gave us as the republic for helping in the clone wars. As much as some Asari don't want to admit it that was is inevitable. The question is who strikes first and who is more prepared." Blitz says.

Wrex shrugs. "It's obvious you are. Then the birds. And then the humans. That's pretty much it."

"So what about the krogan clans? They ready for this war?" Blitz asks.

Wrex nods. "Always."

"We also have the Rachni helping us build ships. Even though they won't be helping fight, they still will be a major asset with building us warships." Blitz says.

Wrex nods. "Just keep them from the old ones. They hate the bugs."

"But they like having warships which are being built in our dry docks to be shipped to your clans and mine." Blitz says.

"So that's how you got those three battlemasters to not kill the Rachni workers." Wrex says.

"Twi is very persuasive on those matters." Blitz says.

"Your female did that? I'm surprised you're still at the top." Wrex said smirking.

"Let's just say I have my ways. Alright, here she comes." Blitz says as Twilight returns to the monitor as two krogan bodyguards restrain the Salarian.

Twilight waves and smiles. "Hi, Wrex."

"I am up to speed. We speaking to the council?" Wrex asks.

Twilight nods. "Yep. Got most of them on the line right now. Um…guys…?" She asks as she turns to the krogans struggling with the assassin.

"If you don't stop, I will kill you." Blitz threatens using the force to inspire terror in the assassin, freezing him.

"Finally." One of the krogan said before they carried him out.

"Who is missing from the councilors dear?" Blitz asks.

Twilight sighs and shakes her head. "Salarian."

"Wrex, get ready to deploy your clans." Blitz says unamused, alerting the three council members listening in he was fully serious.

"Already got the troops and ships moving." Wrex said off screen now.

"As you can see, this has pushed my husband over the edge with his anger. He is so mad, he literally comes full circle." Twilight says to the councilors.

"Two pies!" Blitz calls out as he moves his troops and ships.

"I'm sure we can have a peaceful resolve in all this." The Asari councilor tries to find a way out.

"Is that why the Salarian councilor isn't returning my wife's calls?" Blitz asks with no sense of humor present.

"Look, there is no need to go full on war for this kind of situation. A solution can be found from this." A turian councilor said.

"And would you say that if your sovereignty as a species was tried to be revoked twice and your ambassador had now three assassination attempts on them by the same person with documented evidence. I have been more than patient with this issue." Blitz says.

"I would be pissed." The human councilor said.

"Thank you. Now, unless something is done, I am going public with all of this and will launch a full-scale war, despite what anyone says. The krogan are already backing us. How many more will because I will make the argument who is next. The Quarians, the Volus, the Drell? I could go on, but you have the point already." Blitz says.

Twilight whistles a bit. "Ranchi. Can't forget them. Also, even me and the other members of the family can't stop him. So…once he begins…pray."

"So does anyone else see the urgency of getting the remaining council member on the line?" Blitz asks.

"I'm closest." The human councilor said before actually running off the still functioning hologram.

"Still think I will just let this one go?" Blitz asks the Asari councilor mostly.

"No. You have a penchant for war. Much like a current council species we know." The turian councilor said.

Blitz waited patiently as he could as he knew Wrex was bluffing right now as no ship or whole clans had left their planets right now. Though it was only a matter of time.

"Tick tock." Twilight said tapping her hoof.

Blitz was about to close the line when a fourth image appeared.

"Got them." The human councilor said returning to his hologram spot.

Blitz, now in humanoid form, just taps his fingers, waiting for the nervous Salarian councilor to speak.

The Salarian councilor clears his throat dryly. "Well…you can be rest assured we have caught and are preparing to discipline the Dalatrass."

Blitz kept tapping his fingers. "You know I have the oddest feeling we have been here before." Blitz says, his tone turning a little sour the more he spoke.

"By firing her and detaining her. This is a violation of our laws and the council." The Salarian councilor finishes.

Blitz keeps tapping his fingers on the desk, looking at them. "Good news. He is now thinking it over." Twilight says.

"Partly." Blitz corrects.

"Blitz, what do you want?" Twilight asks.

"Deliver her to us." Blitz says after a pause.

All the councilors stare at him slightly shocked, the salarian the most. "We'll…have it done." The turian said suddenly and making the others look to him. "Don't give me that look. It is obvious he isn't backing down and if he does go public, who will support the Salarians in this, especially since the Krogan is already with them on this." The councilor says.

The human councilor sighs. "I'll see to it that the papers are rushed."

"I'll get the commando team to collect." The Asari councilor said. "And don't say STG. It's obvious he has less trust in your race anymore." She said looking to the salarian councilor.

"Mostly in that she will use political pull to try and get out of it with them. I have no beef with the race. Just her and her influence." Blitz says.

"And any that might get in your way." The turian councilor adds.

"Says the species hiring mine to fight a small war over a planet's ownership with the Batarians." Blitz says.

The turian frowns. "That shouldn't be true."

"But it is." Blitz says.

"And how did you come by that information?" The human councilor asks.

"Of those he hired is my nephew." Blitz says.

"Of course family would say." The human councilor said as he seems to be busy with something.

"Also the payment is made to either my clan or the planet and we keep an eye on the income very well." Blitz says.

"Seems you have eyes everywhere and not just where you have expanded or been deployed." The Asari councilor observed.

"Can you say you all don't?" Blitz asks.

They all stayed silent at that.

"Point made." Blitz says.

Twilight sighs. "We will await the transfer." She said before cutting her line.

"Wrex, call off the invasion but get an execution squad ready." Blitz calls.

"Finally. I was getting tired of just standing there." Wrex said walking back into view with a large container of something in hand. "It was getting boring."

"I will see you soon." Blitz says disconnecting from all but Twilight. "As for that assassin, should we give him back Twily?" Blitz asks.

Twilight smiles. "Gesture of good faith."

"Yes and later?" Blitz asks wiggling his eyebrows at her.

Twilight grins. "Calm down big boy. You will get this flank later."

"I look forward to it." Blitz says smirking as Twilight has assumed her humanoid form.

Twilight hums as she smiles and leans back in her seat. "When are you ever going to experiment between human and pony one day?"

"We had this discussion for years, love. No good grip." Blitz says.

Twilight rolls her eyes. "Experiment." She sang.

"Never again. After that time I was turned into Rainbow." Blitz says.

Twilight sighs. "Fine…though it would be fun to try and possess one of us and let us have fun."

"Sounds like you have done it before huh Spitfire?" Blitz asks smirking.

"Shut up." Twilight blurts out in Spitfire's voice.

"So have you possessed anyone else and we…" Blitz stops and wiggles his eyebrows.

"Octavia, Vinyl, their counterparts, Rainbow and Fluttershy." She counts off.

"So how was being a vampire, a dhampir, and a succubus?" Blitz asks.

She licks her lips. "Sexy."

"Explain the difference." Blitz says amused.

She hums as she leans into her seat more. "Being a vampire, very hungry. Dhampir, loads of fun playing with what knowledge she had. Succubus, now there's a libido."

"And compared to right now?" Blitz asks.

"Boring. I'm dealing with papers."

"I mean the body." Blitz says.

Spitfire chuckled. "She's hot and horny right now."

"Oh look who joined me Twily." Blitz says turning to Spitfire who took a seat on his desk.

Twilight chuckled. "Waiting for us to get together again Spitfire? I got my spell ready for you."

"No thanks. This is all the magic I need." Spitfire says now holding Blitz's head and petting it in her humanoid form.

Blitz chuckles almost pervertly. "I feel the love."

"We will see you when you get here for now. I am spending some quality time with Blitzy." Spitfire says disconnecting the line.

Blitz rolls his eyes. "Possessive much?"

"Hush now about that. Time to have some fun and maybe have more foals on the way." Spitfire says.

Blitz smiles. "On the desk missy."

"You can't order this mare around mister." Spitfire says teasingly.

Blitz grins. "Watch me." He said picking her up.

Arcane slouches as he rubs his head as the others stared at him across the room. "Did we have to bring this thing?" Azure asks as the fallen next to Arcane was tied up.

Arcane sighs. "Yes. It's the only second in command left and best to have this one then the whole freakin army." He said still rubbing his head.

"So you haven't seen what dad sent, right?" Venator asks trying to change the subject.

Arcane groans. "I have been busy with these bastards."

"Take a look." Venator says.

Arcane looks up and stops. "What the heck…?"

"Those walkers tore the walls right down." Venator says as fourteen walkers, twice the size of the fallens, were being picked up by transports.

"There cannons?" Arcane asks.

"No, their hands can switch to a jackhammer like setting according to what uncle Spike says." Spectrum says.

"Jackhammer?" Arcane asks confused.

"Yeah, like the construction tool." Spectrum says.

Arcane was still confused. "Why have that?"

"What is the quickest and best way to take down fortifications in peacetime?" Azure asks.

Arcane stops and nods. "Okay. That makes sense. No one suspects jackhammers."

"And of that size and power, it will destroy other walkers or tanks if they get in close." Spectrum says.

Arcane blinks. "That sounds better and better."

"Most walkers are basically tanks upgraded if you consider the armaments. Dad went with building a siege walker that can besiege from near or far with those missiles they fired here and their cannons." Blast says.

"And my brother knows how their explosives are." Spectrum said.

"Doesn't that mean they are not as mobile?" Venator asks.

"Yeah…they are not the fastest and because of that, they are given heavier armor." Spectrum adds.

"Considering they are mainly jackhammering the building and heavy armaments." Azure said.

"They also had something else ready to deploy, but with the calling it off, they didn't deploy them." Spectrum adds.

Arcane turns to the tied up fallen. "You are really messing us up."

"I am sorry master." The fallen replies bowing down as best she could while tied on the ground.

"To the ship?" Venator asks.

Arcane nods grimly as he rubs his head. "Order them to stay and repair." Arcane orders.

The fallen looks to him before looking at her arm where a pad screen was attached to the armor which showed a connection of some kind on the screen and starts to speak in the fallen's language before ending the call.

"Alright, surprise me." Blitz says pacing back and forth in front of his kids.

Arcane and the others watch him pace. "I am like mom with a hive, only this time, it's a house of aliens." Arcane said as he looks behind them to the fallen tied up and watched over by the changeling guards.

"Go on." Blitz instructs.

Arcane sighs. "And I gained the hive mind style in my head. I can literally understand them without trouble."

Blitz stops and looks at him for a moment before going back to pacing.

"Um…any other questions?" Arcane asks raising an eyebrow.

Blitz breathed in deeply before turning to him. "You get to decide their fate. Either they all die, are imprisoned, or you rule over them." Blitz instructs.

Arcane blinks and slowly turns to the fallen before walking over to her.

Blitz went back to his chair and sat in it, waiting to see what he chooses.

Arcane blinks slowly and leans down to the fallen and sighs. "Look at me." He said frowning slightly and the fallen looks up to him. "You will listen, right?" He asks and she nods slowly.

"Yes, master." The fallen said.

Arcane sighs. "Let her go. Cut the ropes." He said turning and walking away. "I'm going to be in my room for a bit."

'Arcane is finally maturing.' Blitz thinks.

Azure blinks and his eyes light up as he watches Arcane leaving before ending his vision and turns to Blitz. "His aura…" He tries to explain after Arcane left.

"Say nothing Azure." Blitz instructs starting to call the Turian and Quarians.

Blitz sighs as he looks over another report when his private emergency line starts ringing.

He sighs and answers as he locks down the room before the screen came up of Ahsoka. "What's wrong?" He asks frowning.

"Blitzy, can I ask a favor?" Ahsoka asks.

"…what do you need love?" Blitz asks before sighing.

"The padawan, the teacher, and I, amongst Phoenix fleet, have recently been to a temple…a vision of Yoda told Ezra to go to Malachor for answers." Ahsoka says freezing Blitz.

"I am coming with you." Blitz says after a long pause.

Ahsoka sighs. "Thanks. Can you hurry?"

"I am on my way." Blitz says cutting the line before yelling, "Twilight!"

Twilight suddenly teleports into the room. "Yes?" She asks obviously worried and annoyed.

"Something serious has come up. Take over…I sense a confrontation in my future." Blitz says opening his hidden armory.

Twilight raises an eyebrow. "Do you know how bad?"

"Someone powerful." Blitz says cryptically, telling Twilight he didn't know who specifically.

Twilight sighs. "Good luck and come back with fewer scratches."

"I will try, but I must go alone. Make sure no one discovers I have left." Blitz says donning his armor.

Twilight nods. "I'll see that it gets done."

"I love you. Convey my love to the other wives ok?" Blitz says petting her once.

Twilight smiles a bit and chitters. "I'll smack their flank for you."

"I will see you soon." Blitz whispers before teleporting away.

Twilight sighs and whistles and a changeling walks in and changes into Blitz before sitting in his seat. "Act busy. The rest of you, no one is to meet with Blitz. Say he is too busy with a project or work." She said walking out.

Blitz glares as his ship touches down on the surface of Malakor. "I can feel it clearly. Find her Terran." Blitz says stepping onto the surface of the planet.

Terran growls before running off with Blitz running close behind.

The two ran on the dark side planet's surface till they came to an opening to an underground location.

"Okay, Terran. Let's put those hunting for foals at night to good use. Find Ahsoka." Blitz said. Terran growls and points down to the underground area. "She is under attack?" Blitz asks.

Terra huffs and growls to somewhere in the darkness.

"You may have the first kill." Blitz says before they jump in.

Terran growls happily before running off into the darkness as he runs through the blocky areas of dim red lighting.

"You hear that?" Blitz asks as the sound of lightsabers was heard.

Terran growls loudly as they see moving blue and red lights mostly from a clearing up ahead.

"I see electro staffs. Terran, they are yours." Blitz orders as he lets him run ahead.

Terran growls as he jumps into the fray and the inquisitor and the two imperial heavy troopers look up in time to see something come at them with sharp teeth and brings two of them to the ground as Terran tries to bite at a neck. "Get this mutt off me!" An imperial heavy trooper yells as he tries to hold back Terran.

"Uh oh. You're in trouble now." Ahsoka says smirking before all of them felt Blitz's dark side presence.

The imperial trooper still dealing with Terran didn't look as everyone else look to see Blitz in his humanoid form walking up them in his speed armor as they can feel him smirking under his helmet. "Hey, guys. Having fun with my pet? He's a lively one, isn't he? Should have fed him, though. But then again, someone volunteered by attacking someone I hold dear." Blitz said chuckling before they felt his anger.

"Oh, I feel the love." Ahsoka said chuckling a bit.

"Terran, kill." Blitz orders sending a chill down Ezra's spine as the trooper not held down by Terran quickly tries to backpedal away.

Terran growls and opens his mouth wider than they could possibly think it could go and bites down onto the trooper's neck and pulls back as he left only a little flesh for his head to hang onto. Terran then burps loudly before panting his tongue out and scratches behind his ears.

"You still have more." Blitz says noticing the inquisitor. "So you are still around. I thought we killed all of you." Blitz says making that one back up.

Terran keeps scratching behind his ears as he hops towards the inquisitor and trooper before stopping and sitting in front of them before growling as gets louder.

Seeing this, the inquisitor spins his lightsaber before using it as a propeller to fly away. "That is an interesting function. Terran, finish up." Blitz instructs before looking them all over and stops at Maul.

Maul notices the stare and looks to see Blitz staring at him. "The horns?" He asks in a tired voice.

"You are Darth Maul. Obi-wan Kenobi told me of you long ago." Blitz says.

"Well, I should feel flattered that he remembers me enough to mention to you." Maul said rolling his eyes.

"How could he when you kill the woman he loved, Duchess Satine of Mandalore." Blitz says.

Maul huffs. "Senile old fool. As for you, you seem to have embraced the dark side already." He said as an arm flies by them.

"You would be surprised. Now Ezra, why are you here on this dead world or do you not know it's history and who did this?" Blitz says.

Ezra tries to shrug as he can't keep his eyes off the feast and screams. "This place can help us how to figure out how to stop the sith."

"Ahsoka told me Master Yoda sent you here correct?" Blitz asks.

"Yes, that is right. I saw him in a vision." Ezra says making Maul pay close attention.

"I see. Do you know what happened here or who made this a dead world?" Blitz asks.

Ezra shakes his head. "No…" He stops as a torso flies past him before Terran snatches it up and start to chew. "No sir."

"This was the site of the final battle of the Mandalorian Wars. During which the most terrible atrocity of the war was committed. Malachor was restricted to Mandalorians, a taboo in Mandalorian culture, something that the Jedi General Revan used against them in order to win the war. Revan is one of the most curious and highly regarded forces users of all time. He was both Jedi and sith and yet neither." Blitz starts as the screams ended permanently.

Erza gulps as he slightly watches Terran waddle up to them and sits down in front of them before burping. "Oh, who's a good boy?" Ahsoka asks happily as she scratches his head and he pants happily.

"Revan amassed an enormous fleet composed, not coincidentally, of Jedi and Republic soldiers whose loyalty to Revan was in question, at the planet, providing the Mandalorians with a target that was too good to pass up. During the Battle of Malachor V, Revan single-handedly slew Mandalore the Ultimate aboard the warlord's flagship. As Republic and Mandalorian forces out the system from the planet itself continued to clash, Surik ordered the activation of the Mass Shadow Generator superweapon with a single, wordless nod towards its inventor, Bao-Dur, in order to prevent the Mandalorian forces they faced from overwhelming them and moving on to attack Revan's forces from behind. In an instant, Malachor's gravity crushed every combatant in and around its atmosphere, Mandalorian, Republic, and Jedi alike. Malachor's surface was transformed into a barren, shattered and lifeless wasteland you have seen, all of Revan's enemies were eliminated in a single stroke. The planet was left scarred from the battle as the surface had been obliterated." Blitz explains.

Ezra gulps as he looks around quickly as he tries to imagine all that.

Ahsoka sighs as she kept petting Terran. "Easy. You're scaring him."

"I am not surprised you found a sith Holocron as later there was an academy here. Now Maul, what are you really doing here?" Blitz asks.

Maul huffs. "I'm here to gather the same information as the group you see before you. You need all the help you need to defeat the dark side one day when they turn on you."

"So this is about revenge for Sidious killing your brother." Blitz says.

Maul growls under his breath as he glares at him.

"What is really here Maul? You are not stupid." Blitz says menacingly.

"It's a battle station." Maul growls.

"Activated by a Holocron?" Blitz asks.

"Yes." Maul says.

Blitz inhales briefly before asking, "Do I need to explain how impractical that is?"

"Look around." Maul said frowning.

"Moving on. Vader will be here soon enough. When the inquisitor gets word back of Jedi, you, and an unknown sith, he will come." Blitz says.

"Precisely." Maul confirms.

"Then we better hurry and get out of here." Ahsoka said looking around a bit.

"Wait we came for knowledge and we have the Holocron. You said so yourself. To defeat the sith we must understand them." Ezra says.

Blitz looks to Ezra and sees he had grown since he last saw him. "He is right." Blitz says.

Maul smirks a bit as Ahsoka and Kanan look to him slightly shocked. "Are you sure?" Ahsoka asks.

"An ancient wise man once said, if you know your enemy and yourself, you need not fear a hundred battles. If you know yourself, but not the enemy, for every victory you gain, you will also suffer a defeat, and if you know neither yourself nor your enemy, you will succumb in every battle." Blitz says.

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow. "Which wise man said that?"

"Sun Tsu." Blitz says obviously confusing all four of them.

"Who?" They all ask.

"A human but from how long ago, I do not know. That is how old he is…maybe even pre-space faring for them." Blitz says.

Maul blinks. "Humans that old coming up with strange words? Think of the archives."

"He also understood war than many even to this day. Now let's get moving." Blitz says.

Maul raises an eyebrow as he crosses his arms as they all start to walk to the big building just up ahead before he follows.

"You know what era this is from?" Blitz asks as they near a lift.

"Me? No." Maul said still frowning.

"What do you think Revan's age or a newer one?" Blitz asks.

"I would say the age of Revan more likely built by the sith who were here that made an academy." Maul says.

"So that group." Blitz says thinking as they came to a lift.

Ahsoka looks to him lightly. "What are you thinking?"

"This may be more damaging to us in the long run. And it would need to be examined to see if it is still fully functional." Blitz says.

"Shouldn't it be destroyed then?" Kanan asks.

"It may destroy itself from the strain." Blitz whispers to them once Maul was far enough away.

Ahsoka leans to him. "So one shot is all it can get off?" She whispers.

"Possible. Have to check to confirm my suspicions. If it was in space, less likely, but on this planet, I can not say." Blitz whispers.

Ahsoka nods and turns to Maul. "We have to watch, don't we?"

"Maul can't be trusted. If he tries to seize the station, we have to end him." Blitz whispers

Ahsoka nods and watches Maul. "I can do that."

"Ahsoka, be prepared. I have a feeling we meet Vader today." Blitz whispers.

Ahsoka looks to him as she tries to contemplate that.

"I sensed a battle was in my immediate future. It could be Maul or it could be Vader." Blitz whispers.

Ahsoka frowns as she then looks worried to him. "Do you know which?"

"No." Blitz says as Kanan looked at them.

"So what is your relationship?" Kanan asks.

Ahsoka smiles to him. "Only if you want to get technical."

"Please tell me." Kanan requests very interestedly.

Ahsoka hums. "Should we tell him?" She asks Blitz as she smiles.

"Go ahead." Blitz says.

Ahsoka nods. "We're husband and wife."

"Wait, what?!" Kanan calls.

"Keep it down. We don't want the entire galaxy to hear." Blitz says as Terran walks up with a crushed droid in his jaws.

Ahsoka smiles to Terran. "Aw. Who's a good boy?"

"That is why I said you can tell him." Blitz says before reaching the temple and Kanan starts arguing with Maul who Ezra should be with.

Blitz sighs and rubs his head. "The life of teenagers. Enough, if it is that big of an issue, I will take him up. Ahsoka with Maul, Kanan take Terran." Blitz instructs.

Kanan slowly looks to Terran mindlessly chewing on a metal piece.

"A problem with that?" Blitz asks.

Kanan slowly shakes his head as he watches Terran look at him blankly.

"Follow him Terran." Blitz instructs before leading Ezra away.

Ezra looks back to the rest. "They will be alright, right?" He asks looking at Terran.

"Yes, they will be fine." Blitz says as they take a lift.

"Why are you so against Darth Maul? He's helping us." Ezra asks raising an eyebrow.

"You are being too trusting. This battle station is a prize. Why do you think he was here?" Blitz asks.

Ezra stares at him before looking off thinking.

"I can sense your confusion, but remember who is your friends and allies before you make a decision." Blitz says keeping his tone neutral to avoid sounding like he was lecturing.

Ezra slowly nods as he still thinks.

"It seems we also have jump troopers." Blitz says seeing people using jetpacks to scale the cliff.

Ezra quickly looks over and sees around four jump troopers heading for where they were going.

"Now show me what you have learned." Blitz says as the lift reaches the top.

Ezra nods as he takes out his lightsaber and goes to where he thinks they will land and follows their movements carefully as he activities his lightsaber.

Blitz watches as Ezra gets the jump and dispatches three of them before knocking the fourth to the ground.

Blitz sighs as Ezra waits for the trooper to get up before the trooper charges at him and Ezra slices him across the chest.

"Your form and skill have defiantly improved, but you still have a ways to go." Blitz says sensing the approach of the others.

Ahsoka hums as she looks to the bodies and Ezra in the middle of them. "Much trouble?"

"Seems they somehow tracked us here or they sent troopers to aid in taking you down Maul." Blitz says.

Maul huffs. "Nothing can stop until I did my own job."

"Either way, there is bound to be more and that inquisitor is still out there no doubt a probe droid relayed he has the Holocron to him." Ahsoka says.

Blitz nods. "Lead the way guys."

"This time, I will take you, Ezra." Maul says.

Blitz glares slightly under his helmet at him. "Let the kid decide for himself."

"It's fine. I will be ok." Ezra says.

"Very well, Terran, let's head out." Blitz says walking away.

Terran barks and hurries over to his side and walks beside him.

"How many do you think are with the Inquisitor?" Kanan asks.

"Dozens at least." Ahsoka says.

"Those jump troopers cost us too much time. Hurry Terran." Blitz says running.

Terran growls as he runs ahead a bit and quickly turns and leads Blitz to another clearing.

"You smell the inquisitor huh? Well, we finish him here." Blitz instructs as they near blaster fire and lightsabers.

Terran growls as he bares his teeth and jumps up high as Blitz went across the walkway. When they got close, they see the inquisitor trying to make an escape only for his lightsaber to fall apart and send him plummeting towards the ground, screaming all the way.

Blitz blinks. "Huh. That's one way. No more blaster fire…Terran, Maul usefulness is over." Blitz says.

Terran barks loudly and grabs Maul's attention and turns to the large varren and brings his lightsaber up and tries to swipe at him before Terran moves out of the way in midair by spinning around and lands on the far side as Blitz comes up on the other end.

"Trying to get rid of them so you can convince Ezra to join you huh?" Blitz asks walking up, making both Kanan and Ahsoka be on complete guard.

Maul frowns as he turns to him. "You would never give up on searching, will you?"

"You were a fool if you considered for a moment I would trust you." Blitz says igniting his dark saber.

Maul glares at him. "So be it."

Blitz was about to step forward when he stops. "Ahsoka, Kanan, get to Ezra. Vader is here." Blitz says.

Ahsoka goes wide eyed before running off with Kanan close behind.

"Now to deal with you, Maul." Blitz says as Terran growled.

Maul huffs. "I think I can take on you and this pet dog."

"No, you can't." Blitz says as he stops suppressing his force signature for a bit.

Maul goes wide eyed for a bit at the aura he gives off before Blitz suddenly shot forward and slices his dark saber and cuts off his arm. Maul screamed in pain before being force pushed off the temple by Blitz. As he fell, he saw Blitz glaring down on him

"Trash." Blitz says deactivating his dark saber before heading towards the top. As the two made their way up they felt it clearly. "He has arrived." Blitz says and soon heard lightsabers clashing.

Terran growls loudly as they got closer and barks.

"Let's go." Blitz says making them increase their speeds to running.

Terran barks loudly and jumps at high speeds and aims himself toward the fight as he opens his jaws ready to bite as Blitz comes over the ledge and sees Terran aim for Darth Vader who looks up in time to swipe at Terran actually glance off his teeth and sends Terran sliding away as he seems to glare at him.

"You?" Vader asks confused then he felt a presence in the force he hadn't felt in years, only much more powerful and intense.

"So, at last, we meet Darth Vader." Blitz says.

Vader seems to glare at Blitz as he relaxes his stance. "You have changed."

"You know who I am?" Blitz asks.

"Blitzkrieg Read. The chief of the Mandalorian Blitzkrieg clan." Vader says.

"And my sith title is Darth Imperius. Now then…I know you." Blitz says recognizing his presence.

Vader turns his lightsaber towards him at that.

"Ahsoka, do you also recognize him?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka looks to Vader and tries to recognize the presence before stopping. "It can't be him."

"I'm sorry Ahsoka, but we finally found your old master Skywalker." Blitz says assuming a defensive stance.

Vader assumes a somewhat lazy stance as Ahsoka glares. "He can't have done all these things."

"Ahsoka, I am sorry." Blitz says taking a step forward.

Vader took a step toward him as Ahsoka was hesitant at first before shakily taking a step toward them.

"Ahsoka, get them out of here. The last thing we need is for the empire to have a chance to use this." Blitz says.

Ahsoka stops before turning off her lightsabers and running towards where Ezra and Kanan were.

"You realize why I did that Anakin?" Blitz asks knowing that calling him that would annoy him.

Vader huffs. "You just wanted to make things easier for yourself."

"No. I wanted to spare my wife the heartache of fighting you. I also see instead of fighting the true enemy, you joined them." Blitz says.

"They have the power to help." Vader defended.

"Oh yes, the power…you killed your wife?" Blitz asks making Vader realize he was probing his thought.

Vader seems to glare. "You have embraced that dark side as well."

"You haven't embraced it. You have been consumed." Blitz says channeling the light and dark side to launch a torrent of force lightning and a barrage of telekinetic shots.

Vader holds up his lightsaber and his hand and tries to block both before they hit him and he kept being peppered with the debris being ripped from the ground.

"Unlike you, I am no slave to it. I am a true sith. Not one of your foolish rule of two." Blitz says mockingly.

Vader breathes deeply through his mask as he sends a pulse of force at him and rips up the ground that made Blitz trip a bit and stops his assault for a moment before recovering.

"You guarded your chest most of all…ah. You are in critical condition. And that controls your life support." Blitz says realizing why he was guarding it so closely.

Vader glares at him behind his mask and sends another pulse at him as he walks up to him and tries to swipe at before Blitz blocks it and strikes back. "You do not know anything about me."

"So the emperor wants a constant reminder of your vulnerability huh? He is a very cruel man. Why do you put up with him?" Blitz asks as they exchange blows from their lightsabers.

"He saved lives thanks to the dark side. The Jedi way did more harm than good." Vader countered as he tries to knock away Blitz's lightsaber.

"Is that what you really think? Did the dark side save your wife or your unborn children?" Blitz asks making him freeze for a moment as Blitz blocked his lightsaber with his claws.

"Children?" Vader asks almost lost before ducking and dodging the saber and pulls his saber away and tries to swipe back.

"Oh, you didn't know. How many other things has the emperor been keeping from you? I know because my spy sent me a copy of the last medical records of Padme when she died. It says she gave birth to them both, but the fates of them were left undocumented. As such, I can only guess they died as well." Blitz says.

Vader growls under his breath and starts to swipe and strike at Blitz hard to send him skidding back a few times.

"You also lack the maneuverability you once had. Are you so far gone all you can do is hurt others?" Blitz asks running his mouth to distract Vader as they escaped.

Vader growls. "I can protect them more than you can."

"Can you protect what really matters to you or do you just kill them?" Blitz taunts.

"Silence." Vader threatened as he throws him away with the force.

"It angers you doesn't? To know I speak the truth and you can only lie to yourself and cling to power now?" Blitz taunts.

"I said silence." Vader throws back as he rushes forward and strikes his saber and sends it up before trying to strike at him and Blitz freezes some of his cybernetics with magic.

"And now…" Blitz stops seeing the temple starting to rumble. "Damn. Out of time. Next time Anakin." Blitz says before jumping back to Terran and teleporting them away.

Vader glares at where they were before walking back to his ship.

"Ahsoka, come in." Blitz says over the comms.

"Blitz. Thanks for the help." Ahsoka said.

"I could do no less for my wife. Now follow me to Korriban. The force is telling me to go there with visions." Blitz says.

"Sure. I'll get the course set up." Ahsoka said.

"Also, tell Ezra and Kanan to tell Phoenix that the empire is making a big move. I just got a report. Vader's fleet and the 501st are moving." Blitz informs.

"I'll get the news to them. Just be sure that we can make this one on time." Ahsoka said.

"Ahsoka, the war will begin sooner than we thought. I can sense it." Blitz says.

"So can everyone else." Ahsoka said.

"When we get back, I will be going straight to the turian primarch, Wrex, and the new head of the salarian STG. I will also send word to Aria and the other Asari matriarchs who see it as we do. We must unite again. Also, the clans must unite. I must find Boba and put forth the vote of a new Mandalore." Blitz says.

Ezra and Kanan, hearing that, looked toward the monitor surprised.

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow. "Who could be possible for the new Mandalore?"

"I have an idea who." Blitz says before entering hyperspace.

"Kanan, stay on your ship with Ezra. We go on." Blitz says as Ahsoka got off the ship.

Kanan raises an eyebrow as Ezra stays in his seat as they watch Blitz, Terran, and Ahsoka walk off.

"We know where we are going or just letting the force guide us?" Ahsoka asks.

"The latter…can you sense that?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka looks around a bit. "Somewhat…yeah."

"Someone has been awoken by our presence." Blitz says.

Ahsoka frowns as she tries to see with the force and pinpoint the source.

"They are coming. Don't leave my side, my beloved." Blitz instructs.

Ahsoka looks to him. "They?"

"Some sith spirits are coming our way. Not those like the darth. More along the lines of students and failed apprentices." Blitz explains.

Ahsoka looks a little shocked. "Dead…right?"

Blitz looks to her. "You've seen windigos, right?"

"Yes." Ahsoka says.

Blitz hums. "Good. They'll be like that. Except they can hurt you directly."

"How bad?" Ahsoka asks.

Blitz didn't answer as they were surrounded by what looked like a dust storm.

"This them?" Ahsoka asks as they ended up back to back.

"Yeah." Blitz says as the dust started to take the form of ancient sith sorcerers.

"Got anything in that magic arsenal of yours?" She asks trying to keep an eye on them.

"I do. Don't worry." Blitz reassures.

"Trespassers of light. You dare to disgrace this land with your aura?" One asks in an echoey voice.

"You have something to say?" Blitz asks.

"Do you for none come here?" It asks back.

"Yeah, I have something to say. BEGONE FAILURES OF THE SITH!" Blitz roars unleashing his dark side powers.

The clouds start to be blown away and the spirits come apart before they disappear.

"You basically have to show them who's the boss." Blitz says looking back to Ahsoka, smiling under his mask.

Ahsoka smiles a bit. "Not bad."

"Oh, Terran is happy." Blitz points out the varren happily rolling in the sand.

Ahsoka chuckles as she watches him acting like a puppy. "He's so cute like that."

"Yes and unlike Anakin, he likes sand." Blitz says.

Terran growls happily as he keeps rolling around them.

"Alright, this way. So Ahsoka, did you meet most of the Jedi?" Blitz asks as they walked.

Ahsoka sighs. "Most of whom survived, yes."

"But you knew those who were generals right?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka nods. "Yes and some who were turned but gone now."

"Yes. I have a feeling you might know who or what the force is calling us to find." Blitz says.

Ahsoka sighs. "Let's hope I do. Because I feel a bit lost."

Blitz reached out and took her hand and held it to reassure her.

Ahsoka smiles a bit and squeezes his hand back. "Thanks."

"Alright Terran, come on. We have to find what we were sent for." Blitz says.

Terran barks and wiggles in the sand one last time before getting up and starts to follow them.

Blitz and Ahsoka spent a little over an hour before stopping and finding a half-buried temple.

"Well,…that's something." Ahsoka said looking around.

"This is the place." Blitz says.

Ahsoka hums. "What are we going to look for in here?"

"I don't know. Let's find out." Blitz says starting to walk down the steps.

Ahsoka hums as she looks at the strange designs on the walls. "Know the language?"

"Ancient language of the sith. Nothing too important. Mostly propaganda like stuff." Blitz says.

Ahsoka hums and nods as she kept following and holds his shoulder to make sure he doesn't go away. "How close do you think we are getting?"

"Close. I would think." Blitz says as they walked through the dark.

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow. "You think?"

"Hard to say sometimes with a temple…well, we found a corpse." Blitz says seeing the skeletal remains of a humanoid without a head.

Ahsoka stops as she looks closely at it. "Must have gotten lost."

"Look closely. The spine shows signs of being burnt through by plasma." Blitz says.

Ahsoka moves the skeleton a bit. "Huh. So it is. Must have been running then or got struck from behind."

"Or tossed away…I sense a force ghost. Can you?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka immediately tries to search for it and frowns. "Just up ahead." She said looking in that direction.

"And someone is alive down here. You want to open the sealed doorway or shall I?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka smiles a bit. "How about as a husband and wife should do this?" She asks reaching out with the force and grabs a hold of the doorway.

"We pushing it in or pulling it down?" Blitz asks reaching out with the force as well.

Ahsoka wraps an arm around his waist. "Push. I think we want to make a bit of a flashy entrance since you love it like that."

"No. I love my girls." Blitz says giving her a quick kiss before they pushed together, blowing the door inward, breaking the stone when it hits the ground.

Ahsoka smiles to him. "Like the old days huh?"

"Yeah. So let's see who we have." Blitz says walking in with her.

Ahsoka hums as she looks around the chamber. "This is a very strange temple."

"Heads up." Blitz says igniting his dark saber and blocking two lightsabers.

Ahsoka quickly activities hers and goes for an attack. "What the heck is attacking?"

"The one we came for." Blitz says before his armor shines a light on the attacker.

Ahsoka goes wide-eyed at the sight. "Wait. Isn't that…"

"Jedi master A'Sharad Hett?" Blitz asks and pushes him away as they all took a stance and watch other for any sign of movement.

"Master Hett. Is that you?" Ahsoka asks.

A'Sharad stopped hearing a name he had long since heard and looks to Ahsoka for a good time before recognizing her. "You are Skywalker's padawan?"

Ahsoka nods slowly. "Was, but yes."

"Master Hett, what brings you to Korriban?" Blitz asks before both deactivated their lightsabers.

Hett sighs. "I came here looking for a possible sith that can either help or hinder us."

"You found someone. I can sense your body now knows sith teachings…meaning we have a powerful force ghost here." Blitz says pausing in the middle.

Hett nods. "You're right about the teachings. But wrong with the ghost."

"Master Hett, I myself am a sith trained in the sith arts. I know when I sense one of their force ghosts." Blitz says as Ahsoka got beside him seeing a blue form appear.

"I'm guessing that's the ghost?" She asks seeing the female figure float behind Hett.

"Hett, do you know how we found you?" Blitz asks.

Hett frowns a bit. "The force being called?"

"Yes, the force lead us here. We are about to go to war with the sith empire. We have gathered what allies we could and saved as many Jedi as we could for this. I can sense the hate you have for it. Will you join your former comrades in our quest to free the galaxy from the One who killed so many of your comrades and friends through his schemes to become emperor of the galaxy?" Blitz asks.

Hett frowns a bit more as he thinks. "Apprentice Hett, you still have much to learn. If you don't learn all the teachings I have, you won't win the war at all. Stay or send them away, forcefully if you have to." The ghost behind whispered loudly.

"XoXaan, be silent. Your age long since ended and the sith have long since surpassed you." Blitz says.

XoXaan glares at him. "You are not being spoken to and my apprentice here still hasn't answered."

"Hett, how long do you think the clone wars ended ago?" Blitz asks.

Hett blinks. "Around…nine years."

"It's been nearly twenty." Blitz informs.

Hett stops as he stares at him. "That can't be."

"Hett. She keeps you here, not telling such things. By the time you leave here by her allowing it, the emperor will have died a natural death of old age." Blitz says.

"Listen to him Master Hett, he speaks the truth. The ghosts of the dead sith can not be trusted." Ahsoka pleads.

"Don't listen. They are lying to falsely keep you away from your training to be strong enough to take down the empire." XoXaan said glaring at the two.

"What reason do we have to lie? We also are fighting the empire." Blitz says.

"But he must be strong enough. He has not finished his training…" She spits.

Blitz hold up a hand and XoXaan is suddenly silenced.

"Not bad." Ahsoka said smiling.

"Be gone." Blitz commands banishing her, forcing her to become one with the force.

XoXaan screeches loudly before she phases out of existence. "What did you…?" Hatt asks looking to him.

"The one thing I learned a lot about is force ghosts, even how to purify them and make them become one with the force." Blitz says.

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow. "You purified an old sith ghost?"

"Yes, though it is tiring." Blitz says.

"How much energy is needed?" Ahsoka asks slightly interested.

"Enough to tire you out for around five hours." Blitz said blinking as his head slouches a bit. "Beginner of course. Mine is two hours."

"So Master Hett, will you now join us?" Ahsoka asks.

Hett looks to where XoXaan was before looking to them. "I don't have anything here to hold me. I will."

"Thank you, master." Ahsoka says.

Blitz sighs. "So…anything of interest that should be taken?"

"Nothing here." Hett says as Ahsoka helped Blitz out through the door.

Blitz nods. "Good. Because we are leaving and need to prepare."

"The force seems to be with us." Ahsoka says.

"For now." Blitz says.

Blizzard hums happily as he flicks his tail before he sees Blitz walk through the front doors. "Hi, dad."

Blitz sighs and looks to him smiling before stopping. "Not bad a catch." He said seeing him sit in the lap of another stallion and a mare beside him wearing some citadel clothing. "Be happy."

Blizzard chuckles. "I am." He said leaning back into the stallion who wraps his hooves around his waist as the mare leans on them.

Blitz smiles almost sadly before walking on down the hall and hears giggling and looks to an open door and sees Sunshine laying her head on Mileia's lap as they watched something and Mileia pets Sunshine's mane.

Blitz smiles to them as they didn't notice him and continued on before seeing Azure leaning on a windowsill as he polishes his weapons. "Hey, dad." He said as he kept concentrating on the polishing.

"I expect you now know about the weight of leadership?" Blitz asks.

Azure nods slowly before looking to him. "It's tough. That much is true. But still dad…little bro…what is going on?"

"Don't worry." Blitz says patting his eldest head.

Azure frowns. "Dad, I can't help him if I don't know what's going on."

"His moms will help him." Blitz says.

Azure sighs. "Fine." He said before going back to his polishing.

Blitz pats his back as he walks on. "He'll be better." He said as he continues down the hall before spotting the fallen Arcane let go sitting and leaning on the wall near his door and Terra slightly glaring at it as she looks a bit worried to his door. "Staring at it won't help." Blitz said walking past.

Terra looks to him at that. "His aura is changing. Don't think I didn't notice that."

Blitz hums. "I know about it. But that doesn't mean he's back. He knows about your connection to him so let him figure it out. If he can do this…" He says pointing to the fallen looking at him. "He can deal with your end soon."

Terra frowns. "I'm just going to ask him myself." She said before pushing open the door and stops in the doorway. "He's not scheduled for a mission is he?"

"Waffle." Pinkie says.

They all look toward Pinkie holding a plate of waffles. "Um…okay…" Terra says picking one up and looks it over. "Have you seen Arcane?"

"Waffle time." Pinkie says.

Blitz blinks before slowly backing off as Pinkie holds the waffle plate up to the fallen as it picks one up and treats it like a live grenade. "Always the ice breaker." Blitz says to himself before hearing some happy humming and leans over to a doorway and sees Tek looking at his screens as always. "Hey, son." He says walking in.

"Is momma Pinkie still going on about waffles?" Tek asks.

Blitz sighs. "Unfortunately. I just had a run in with her. Please tell me you are not doing anything waffle related."

Tek smiles. "Well…other than trying to exclude waffles on my searches and building an object excluder field…" He mutters at the end. "I am finding out about lost inventions." He said as he looks at old human photos.

"How about any progress hacking into those heavily encrypted imperial databases?" Blitz asks.

"Oh. We decided to use the processing power of dead computers that hasn't been used in so many years and use the hacking system with that. So they can't be traced back to us and would more than likely head to a dead warehouse. As for the progress…eh. Around fifty percent done. Just…give it time…" Tek says still going through the old photos and leans in on some.

"He's been staring at the old archives ever since I gave him access." Eve says walking up and pats Tek's back who seems to be drooling now.

"Eve, smack your husband to be." Blitz instructs.

Eve blinks and looks to Tek before raising a hoof. "OW!" Tek groans as he rubs his face. "The heck?" He asks turning to them.

"Back to reality, I see." Blitz says.

Tek sighs as he kept rubbing the hoof mark on his face. "And learning about ways to give us free energy."

"Uh huh. Minerva!" Blitz calls.

Tek goes wide-eyed. "Wait. You don't have to bring mom in!" He pleads as they hear a happy humming. "Eve! Help me!" He pleads with her.

"What do you think? Something like Vinyl's mane for the color theme?" Eve asks.

Blitz hums as he looks her over. "No. It needs to fit the techno theme. Maybe some electronic green." He says as they ignore Tek as Minerva walks in and goes up to him.

"Yes, love?" Minerva asks leaning against him.

"Our son is getting distracted from planning his wedding." Blitz says.

Minerva slowly looks over to Tek shivering from the smiling look she was giving off. "Is that so?"

Blitz nods before they hear Tek struggling. "Help me! I'm being dragged away to be reprogrammed!" Tek yells uselessly as Eve kept looking over wedding colors.

"Electronic green, right?" Eve asks making a helping picture.

"That is a suggestion from me." Blitz says before hugging her.

Eve smiles as she kept making choices. "Thank you." She says looking up to him.

Blitz hums. "Now enjoy yourselves okay? And make sure you have the best wedding ever. Money, forget the limit…though don't buy out the entire solar system at that…that's a big limit."

Eve lightly smiles. "I know how long to run a loop for."

"Go have fun." Blitz says.

Eve chuckles as she walks off. "And I will check into the free energy thing. We are still having fights and disagreements on this planet because of it." She said passing a screen running a scan on the old lost inventions.

Blitz rolls his eyes. "Like husband, like wife." He muses walking away.

"Brother Arcane is on Omega." Eve suddenly said.

"What about my granddaughters, the princesses? Is Luna with her P&P group?" Blitz asks.

Eve nods. "They are in the middle of the game. One of the guards is trying to stay his diligent self. Princess Celestia is staring at paperwork, hoping it would catch on fire."

"I will call Lulu and Celly." Blitz says.

"Already done." Eve said walking away as his omnitool started ringing.

"Go have fun." Blitz says patting her mane before connecting to Luna.

"Hello, yes, hello, we are busy." Luna says as she stares off-screen.

"How is my level twenty-six rogue?" Blitz asks smirking looking at her in her fantasy styled leather armor with a hood and mask.

Luna yelps as he heard clattering and Luna looking shocked. "Um…grandfather…I didn't expect this."

"Having fun?" Blitz asks.

"Um…" Luna looks to the messed up board and frowning faces of the guards as they stare at the cluttered mess. "Sort of."

"I see. Well, I was just calling to check up on you and to inform you Minerva is getting Tek back on track with his wedding." Blitz says.

Luna starts to set up the pieces again. "I see. Me and sister are going to join soon once it is ready."

"I would think you would want to be there for your uncle's wedding." Blitz says.

"I will. We are all just waiting for the invitations and getting presents ready." Luna said.

"Ok, I will leave you to your game Lulu or would you prefer Winabell, the shadow bat?" Blitz asks.

Luna looks to the shadow guard as she shrinks down a bit below the table. "Just leave us to our game."

"Have fun." Blitz says ending the call with her as he waits for Celestia to answer.

"How does this newfangled thing work?!" Celestia yells as she comes on and seems to be pounding the communicator.

"You answered Tia." Blitz says smiling.

Celestia stops and stares at the screen. "Oh. Um…what do you need grandfather?"

"Calling to check on you and see how you are doing." Blitz says noticing her mane is a little bit of a mess, most likely from being slept on moments ago.

Celestia clears her throat. "Well, I am fine at the moment."

"I interrupt a nap?" Blitz asks.

Celestia sighs and hangs her head. "Unfortunately."

"Go to bed Tia. You need the rest." Blitz instructs.

Celestia sighs. "Okay grandfather."

"See you later and hello my lovely Hurricane." Blitz says turning to the door.

Hurricane smiles as she walks up to him and hugs him. "Hi, honey." She said before looking at the screen. "Oh, my. You better get some sleep granddaughter."

"Yes, grandmother." Celestia says before trying to turn off the device.

"The red button that looks like a telephone." Blitz said rolling his eyes as he wraps a hoof around Hurricane watching amused. Soon Celestia cut the call and Blitz pets his pregnant wife's stomach. "So what have the latest revealed?" Blitz asks.

Hurricane smirks. "It's a healthy foal and we got a pegasus."

"Oh?" Blitz asks before raspberrying her.

Hurricane giggles and tries to push his head away. "Stop it."

"No." Blitz says before turning both into their humanoid form and leans her back as he holds her.

Hurricane hums as she looks up to him. "Strange you are still having fun with such an old mare."

"Why? You are my wife." Blitz says.

Hurricane smirks. "We never married back then. Which means…you got one more wedding to go through." She said poking his chest.

"Nope. We had our wedding you." Blitz says before starting to massage her breast.

Hurricane moans and leans into him. "Tease. You really want to do it while I'm carrying?"

"No. It's against the rules and besides, teasing you is as much fun." Blitz says.

Hurricane playfully frowns. "You little…"

"Be nice." Blitz said booping her nose.

Hurricane huffs. "Dick stallion."

Blitz sticks his tongue at her when he feels someone slap his flank.

"Care to tell me why my husband and co-wife is almost ready to get it down in Tek and Eve's room?" Twilight asks walking up smirking in her humanoid form.

"I am teasing Hurricane here as she is pregnant." Blitz says looking her over.

Twilight chuckled. "Is that why you are putting your hands literally down my pants?" She asks slapping his hand away.

"Oh yeah right. You have no pants Mrs. Robes." Blitz teases.

Twilight grins. "I needed a new look but also one for you to have easy access to some bug queen flank."

"What? You jealous that Hurricane is pregnant again?" Blitz teases.

Twilight hits his side. "I don't need another egg here Blitzy. Just that you calm down when messing with Hurricane here."

"I think I see the lust in her eyes." Hurricane teases.

Blitz wraps an arm around Twilight's waist. "Looks like she needs a round. Want to watch?" He asks Hurricane.

"Only if you get one of the Vinyls, an earth pony, and another pegasus in it as well." Hurricane says smirking.

Blitz laughs. "Only if you watch and enjoy yourself. I love to have a fivesome."

"Oh, I will like that…oh, what about for getting Ahsoka while we are at it?" Hurricane says smirking.

Blitz grins. "Oh. An alien species too? Well…she is resting here for a bit. Might as well."

"Shall I go get the mares?" Hurricane asks smirking.

Blitz chuckles as he lets go of her and hold onto Twilight. "Please do. I will take the queen here to her chambers and make sure she is ready."

"Now wait a mome…" Twilight was cut off by Blitz's hand onto her mouth.

"I'll see you in a bit." Hurricane says walking off as Twilight pulls his hand off of her mouth.

"You're insatiable." Twilight said huffing.

"No. That is you as you are already aroused." Blitz says smirking.

Twilight rolling her eyes. "Let's just…"

Eve looks back to the spot where they were and sees a teleportation mark. "Mortals."

Arcane groans as he laid his head on the counter.

"Tough day?" A mare asks cleaning a glass.

Arcane groans more. "Please tell me you at least have daisy water."

"We also have spirited daisy water." The mare says.

Arcane raises a hoof before another hoof slams down next to him. "Give two shots." Arcane hears another mare say.

Arcane sighs and turns his head. "Hey."

"Oh, your back?" She asks looking at him.

Arcane slowly nods. "I needed to get away for a bit. You on break or I can buy your time?" He asks yawning a bit.

The mare nods and smiles. "Got the bits, big boy?"

Arcane just messes with his omnitool and her own beeps. "Would this cover it all?" He asks getting up and taking his filled glass.

The mare looks at her payment account and stops at the amount given. "You must be tired." She said following and taking her own glass.

"Yeah. So shall we go to your private room?" Arcane asks.

The mare nods and leads him to a small room and lets him in. "So…sleep or just simple talk?" She asks closing and locks the door behind her.

"How are you?" Arcane asks laying on the couch.

The mare shrugs as she sits on the table in front of him. "Fine. Customers getting crazy till Aria got us ponies an area all for us. Now…it's just stallions and the occasional mare taking me."

"You fine here?" Arcane asks catching her off guard.

The mare blinks slightly confused at him. "Um…yeah. I make a decent living here. Just need to duck at my place when an alarm sounds and that's it."

"Are you sure?" Arcane asks looking to her.

The mare slowly nods before raising an eyebrow. "What brought this on?"

"I have been thinking." Arcane says.

The mare tilts her head. "About?"

"The future." Arcane says.

"Doesn't everypony?" She asks shrugging. "I have seen multiple stallions and some mares come through thinking about it all. Even the past." She said taking a small sip.

"What about you?" Arcane asks.

The mare hums. "I'm actually fine. I got a set life here and it doesn't matter." She said relaxing more on the table more and doesn't realize she spreads her legs a little to show off the dancer outfit she is wearing.

"Really? No unresolved issues or any wants?" Arcane says.

The mare hums and looks to him at that. "What's bringing this on? I thought you would ask for any info on anything going on here."

"I feel like you aren't telling the truth for some reason." Arcane says.

The mare raises an eyebrow. "There isn't much to tell or rather you aren't asking the right questions. What do you want to know?"

"You want to get married and have a child?" Arcane asks bluntly.

The mare coughs on her drink and looks at him shocked. "What?!"

"I have a feeling it is an unresolved issue with you." Arcane says.

The mare frowns slightly. "Slightly. I am slightly miffed, but not that much."

"Only slightly?" Arcane asks unconvinced.

The mare puffs some of her mane out of her face. "Okay. A bit. But that doesn't mean I want to. Would you really raise a foal on this rock?"

"You could always head back to our home planet." Arcane says.

The mare stares at him before sighing. "I would like to go back…but I don't have that much of an education and my resume would be this." She said running a hoof along her outfit. "Not a great start for a job back home."

"Oh pish posh. It's not that hard to get a job back on the planet nowadays. Especially in the shipbuilders, they need all the heads they can get to keep it all straight." Arcane says dismissively.

She looks to him surprised. "Really…that easy?"

"Oh yeah. Mostly you would be an aide that helps by checking timetables and reports and stuff. The economy is booming to the point we are considering building droids to take over a few sections." Arcane informs.

The mare hums. "I see. Maybe…" She says looking to the side.

"And if you brought a little gift like a name of one of those ponies, griffons, and zebras in black, the government would reward you." Arcane adds.

The mare brings up a hoof to her chin. "Hum. Sounds promising."

"So come on. Forget about professional silence and tell me." Arcane says trying to tempt her.

The mare sighs. "It does sound promising. Fine. I guess I can move out of here."

"I'll clear it with Aria. All you need to do tell me the name." Arcane says.

The mare slowly nods. "I was able to listen in. One called the griffon Skyhawk. Another called the zebra Striker. And one of the dancers once called the pony Zenbar. That enough?"

"That is great." Arcane says.

"Mr. Skyhawk. We need to talk." A pony in a black suit and sunglasses says to the drinking griffon.

"Eh. What for?" The griffon asks turning to him.

"Question?" The pony asks pointing a blaster in the griffon's face.

The griffon blinks. "Um…nope. None here."

"Then get up. There is a speeder waiting for us outside." The pony instructs.

The griffon sighs as he gets up and follows the pony as the zebra and pony look on in confusion.

"Mr. Striker?" A zebra in a black suit with black glasses asks.

"Tell me you have found Boba." Blitz instructs, not paying attention to the three being interrogated.

"Hardly." Arcane says as he sits by him watches the interrogation. "He's a tough one to fine, I'll give him that."

"Found him." Twilight says happily.

"Or can we wait for that." Arcane says deadpan, turning around with him to Twilight.

"One of my changelings spotted him in Jabba's palace on Tatooine." Twilight explained.

Blitz hums. "Really?" He asks thinking of ways and then smiling.

"I know that look. That look means trouble." Twilight says playfully. "Just don't blow things up." She says before walking away.

Arcane raises an eyebrow and looks to Blitz. "How many times?"

Blitz chuckles. "More so even before you were born."

"Blitz, I just got done talking to master Hett. Master Obi-wan is on Tatooine." Ahsoka says over the com, stopping Blitz dead.

"This is a problem?" Arcane asks.

"No. Arcane, I am leaving you and Azure in charge of a special fighter projects that need to be finished by the time I return. The XFA-27 and the ADF-01 FALKEN. They will be the models that join the X-02 Wyvern in this generation of fighters." Blitz informs. Arcane blinks as Blitz starts to walk past. "Don't scratch the paint." He adds smiling a bit.

"Um…okay." Arcane says still blinking surprised.

"Really, you're letting them oversee those?" Twilight asks in disbelief.

"Yes, I am." Blitz informs.

"Then I guess we can hope he does a great job." Twilight says hopefully.

Blitz hums. "I have an idea." He says walking off. "They still have time before they have to get to it."

"What?!" Three voices call out.

Blitz grins. "Yes. The foals room needs a new fresh coat of paint since it's been a while. So…enjoy." He says before walking out.

Sunshine, Azure, and Arcane look around the large room. "This is going to take a while." Arcane says before floating over a paint can and brush. "I'll be in this corner."

Azure groans. "I thought we were going to watch over some ships and jets."

"We were. Maybe dad just wants us to do something else other than…I guess shoot…saber…magic." Arcane says to himself as he tries to figure it out.

"I think it's fun." Sunshine cheers on the ceiling.

"Um…sis?" Azure asks looking up and gets some pink paint onto his head. "Sis?" He calls louder.

"Yes, bro?" She calls out smirking as she kept painting.

"Paint on the walls." Azure orders pointing a hoof at her.

"Let her be." Arcane says walking by to get more paint.

Azure blinks and looks at the wall to see it done. "How…?"

Arcane just holds up a paint can with his magic before taking the paint out with his magic. "Magic." He says making a thin line of paint and carefully moves it to the wall.

"Sunshine, down, now." Azure orders as he watches her paint almost half now.

"Nope." She calls flicking the brush and makes paint splash onto him.

"Sunshine." Azure calls warningly as he tries to wipe his face.

"Uh huh." Sunshine says giggling as Arcane rolls his eyes and carefully placed the line of paint onto the wall.

"Two sides done." Arcane says walking past Azure.

"This isn't working." Blitz says shaking his head.

"You think? Old tricks like this never work on us." Twilight says raising an eyebrow. "We got Sunshine…daughter of Pinkie Pie so we know her deal. Azure, a stickler to rules…like me at times. And Arcane, who just wants it over with." Twilight lists off as they watch Arcane finish the room and Azure and Sunshine still arguing.

"And now me who has to go. See you soon love." Blitz says walking away.

Twilight nods as she looks back to the Azure and Sunshine still arguing as Arcane looks to his omnitool.

"Are you ready?" Blitz asks looking to Ahsoka in his humanoid form.

"No. Not really. But we have no choice." Ahsoka says looking to the building.

"Don't worry about it. We won't see him for long." Blitz says looking to Jabba's palace.

"And that's what worries me. Even a second, many things can happen." Ahsoka says.

"Keep those lightsabers ready just in case Jabba doesn't want to give him up. He employed Boba as a favor to Jango Fett that he never got to repay in his life and he has been making quite a name for himself since then." Blitz informed, pulling her hood up.

"Well then…let's hope blaster fire doesn't come from it." Ahsoka says frowning.

"Boba may also not come on his own, but this involves all the clans, no exceptions." Sky says, Ahsoka knowing he was smiling at her.

"Sure. Just try to keep things quiet." Ahsoka says chuckling.

"I intend to. Don't want the empire catching wind of it. Speaking of which, before we go, remind me of the three imperial spies in his court." Blitz requests.

"And you wi…blast them of course." Ahsoka says stopping her own question as they walk towards the palace.

Upon getting to the door, an eye stock came out and looked at them. "Tell Jabba Southern Cross has come to speak with him personally." Blitz calls frowning.

The eye stares at them before pulling itself back into the door and then clanking was heard as the door was pulled up and opened.

"Well, that will get his attention." Blitz says walking in with Ahsoka.

"You think? You announced your name." Ahsoka asks sarcastically.

"Would he know how serious this was then?" Blitz asks seriously, moving past the gamorrean guards.

"Only if you start shooting." Ahsoka says shaking her head.

"That is nothing new here." Blitz says teasingly as they made their way to the throne room. The moment they entered, everyone immediately went silent.

"Like I said, hard to miss." Ahsoka says frowning as they look to the large slug looking alien. "And there he is."

"Jabba, it has been awhile." Blitz says casually.

Jabba starts talking in Huttese before a droid started translating. "The illustrious Jabba bids you welcome. Though he inquires why you have come personally instead of just contacting him via communications."

"I have recently learned that Boba Fett is in your employ. Is that correct?" Blitz asks.

"Yes is he. Why do you ask?" The droid translates.

"I have business with him. He is needed as heir to the Fett clan to participate in the clans meet. This is not for debate." Blitz informs.

Jabba seems to stare at them before speaking again. "He is about to leave on his ship."

"Then call him here. The empire doesn't need to catch wind of this." Blitz informs.

Jabba grunts before speaking to someone else who quickly walks off.

"Speaking of the empire." Blitz says before taking out one of his blaster pistols and fires three times.

"And you hit something." Ahsoka says smelling something burning.

"Those three were spies for the empire." Blitz informs.

"At least we got them…unless they send information back all the time." Ahsoka says thinking on it.

"Nope. I set up jammers on my armor for this." Blitz whispers to her as they wait.

Ahsoka hums as she taps her foot. "At least we got something coming our way. Soon, you would need to choose." Ahsoka says looking to him.

Blitz said nothing waiting till a Mandalorian warrior walked in.

Everyone in the room stops and stares at the three as the warrior walks up to Blitz. "Don't you ever fix those breaks? They might shatter?" Blitz asks sarcastically before motioning for them to leave.

Seeing this, Boba followed the two out of Jabba's palace and into the desert where they were alone. "Do you know why I have come?" Blitz asks bluntly.

"The clan meeting is coming up. What else?" He asks frowning under his helmet.

"You have to attend Boba." Blitz informs.

"I don't." He says crossing his arms.

"You do. War is upon us and we need to be united." Blitz lectured.

Boba scoffs while Ahsoka rolls her eyes at the attitude. 'Almost like Blitz way back then.'

"Boba, you can't escape it or would you prefer everything your father did be destroyed or made meaningless?" Blitz asks hitting Boba where it hurts the most and freezes him.

Boba stares at them as Ahsoka prepares for anything he might do until she heard him sigh. "Fine."

"Go to my clan's planet then. That is where the clans will meet." Blitz informs.

"Fine." He says before walking off to his ship.

"No. My wife, it is time." Blitz says looking into the desert.

Ahsoka sighs. "I'm actually a bit scared of what we might find."

"Don't be love." Blitz says moving close to her.

Ahsoka smiles a little and leans on him. "Thanks."

"Now, how about a little love you sexy thing?" Blitz asks smirking, starting to take off his helmet.

Ahsoka gives a sly smirk and a raised eyebrow. "Really? Before meeting an old master?"

"He wasn't your master." Blitz reminds before kissing her.

Ahsoka yelps before kissing back and holding him. "Geez. Take it easy." She says pulling her head back.

"With you?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka just bonks him on the head lightly.

"I'll tell you what. I will take you either on the way back or when we get home." Blitz whispers into her ear.

Ahsoka smiles. "Naughty boy." She sang.

"Naughty wife." Blitz counters.

Ahsoka lightly taps his head. "Let's go."

"Who is driving?" Blitz asks putting his helmet back on.

"You are. Who else could know where he is?" Ahsoka chuckling.

"You. You are the one who talked to master Hett. I didn't." Blitz reminds.

Ahsoka pushes his shoulder. "At least we will find him."

"Yes. Now, which way?" Blitz asks getting in the speeder.

Ahsoka points to the dunes ahead. "In that direction. We might see something." She says before getting in the speeder as well.

"Alright." Blitz says driving.

"Ok. I have to ask. Where did you learn to speak Tusken?" Blitz asks looking to his wife.

"When I knew you were going to talk to raiders one day…" Ahsoka starts before holding up her omnitool. "Also Twilight helped set this up."

"But how?" Blitz asks in disbelief.

"A combination of Skyguy's old tricks and words, Eve's help in gathering what written and spoken language there is…and my own brain." Ahsoka lists off smirking.

"And still we don't know. The only clue we have is he defended that moisture farm from him and his tribe decades ago, but is he watching it or was he tracking them?" Blitz asks looking at the moisture farm with electrobinoculars from nearly out of sight.

"Who knows? Some masters have strange agendas on their own." Ahsoka says watching normally.

"Well I know one thing, we have reached a dead end so. We must rely on the force." Blitz informs.

"Want to come back here and we do it together?" Ahsoka asks as she lays back in the back seat.

"No. I mean we meditate and see if the force will direct us to him like with master Hett." Blitz says looking back to her.

"Well, maybe you should start. I'll follow." She says shaking her head.

"Yeah right. You are just sunbathing. I really should have brought Terran, he would love this planet." Blitz mumbles assuming a meditation position.

"Though he would have sunbathed too by rolling on his back…and begging for belly rubs." Ahsoka says chuckling as she follows his example and meditates too.

The two meditate for hours, trying to sense anything in the force until they felt two force signatures. One faint and not as clearly a fledgling force user who had yet to start realizing they were one and then there was a far more powerful one mile away from where they were.

"Got him?" Ahsoka asks.

"Yeah, it has to be him. Shall we go and greet him?" Blitz asks.

"Yep. Drive on good sir." Ahsoka requests humorously.

"We should make it by sundown." Blitz says tossing her a packet.

Ahsoka smiles as she opens it and starts to eat it. "Go on and drive good sir. We better make a good time here."

"You're right. We don't have time." Blitz says taking a bite as well before starting up the speeder and zooms off in the direction they felt it come from.

"As least you're a good driver." Ahsoka says grinning.

"Why thank you for volunteering to be the first to meet him." Blitz says smirking.

"Oh fuck you." Ahsoka says frowning.

"You do already." Blitz quips back.

"I mean yourself." She says rolling her eyes.

"No need. You will do that to me." Blitz quips again.

"Then grab your wives." Ahsoka quips back to him.

"Well, one is with me right now." Blitz counters.

"So why not do anything?" Ahsoka asks looking to him.

"Hey, you elected me driver and he likes you more than me last time we met with him." Blitz says.

"He does like you…you are just…" Ahsoka tries to describe.

"Without feminine charms." Blitz teases.

"Being nice." Ahsoka finishes.

"But seriously, you first. Go see the other one who you saw as a master." Blitz says seriously.

Ahsoka sighs. "But are you ready?"

"No, many of our weapons and ship designs are not finished being developed yet." Blitz says.

"I mean you." Ahsoka asks leaning over.

"I am prepared. In fact, my skills have never been more honed and I can tell from here, physically, my skills will start to waver with age." Blitz says.

"You are definitely old." Ahsoka says smiling.

"Aren't you a mother as well?" Blitz asks.

"But you are the oldest." Ahsoka points out.

"How am I your kid?" Blitz says trying to be cute there.

Ahsoka bonks him on the head.

"So love, when were you going to tell me?" Blitz asks.

"Tell you what?" Ahsoka asks leaning back in her seat.

"That you are pregnant with our third child." Blitz says soberly.

Ahsoka sighs. "When?"

"When we were meditating." Blitz says.

Ahsoka looks to him. "I am since you know."

"Tell me, how does it feel knowing you have another one on the way?" Blitz asks.

"Still scared…even more so when we are this close to war." Ahsoka says shaking her head.

"Still, we can't change it and deep down, I know you are happy." Blitz comments as a partially hidden building come into view.

"I am. I'm still glad to have met you." Ahsoka smiles.

"We are here. You ready to meet with him?" Blitz asks.

"Nope. And that's the fun of it." She says as the speeder comes to a stop before she gets out.

"I will enter in a bit." Blitz informs turning off the vehicle.

Ahsoka nods as she approached the building slowly to not alarm anyone.

'If I am feeling old, how are you Master Obi-wan pushing around fifty-five?' Blitz thinks as he waits in peace before Ahsoka calls him inside.

"Blitz, master Obi-wan is in here!" Ahsoka calls out.

"Alright. I am coming in." Blitz says getting up and walking over.

Blitz yawns as he steps inside the modest home and raises an eyebrow. "Wow. Not bad."

"Master Obi-wan, I believe you remember Blitz." Ahsoka says.

Blitz yawns again as he rubs his eyes. "Sorry. Long drive. Lazy legs here wanted me to be the chauffeur." Blitz says teasingly to Ahsoka as he looks to the old man now sitting in front of him.

"You don't have to put up the act. I have a good idea about how you really are. Though, I am surprised you found me." Obi-wan says calmly.

"I see your mind is as sharp as ever master Obi-wan. As for how we found you…well, the force led us to master Hett and he told us of your encounter and from there we had an idea where you were." Blitz informs.

"And of course tongue slips." He says chuckling.

"Hard to forget the one who severed your arm with a lightsaber." Blitz reminds.

Obi-wan just waves it off. "Any case, I'm assuming you are wondering why I am not out there or trying to find you and the others?"

"I can only guess you are either in hiding or watching over someone. Maybe on that moisture farm nearby." Blitz says.

"Well, at least he's still bright enough." Obi-wan says chuckling.

"One of the reasons why I married him." Ahsoka remarks.

"And you are still happy. That's another piece of good news." He says still chuckling before stopping. "So…how goes the war?"

"The empire has been consolidating themselves since the end of the clone wars and recently have gotten bolder and started to harass our borders. Though because of this, we acquired the empire's latest star destroyer, the Imperial II class star destroyer and two CR90 corvettes." Blitz informs.

"Not bad. I assume you are going to put them to good use?" Obi-wan asks raising an eyebrow.

"We devoted a full section of our dry docks. Taking it apart and learning all we could from it and used that to improve our own ship designs and building. Now it is my turn. We're you the one who mained Anakin as badly as he was?" Sky asks.

Obi-wan stares at them before sighing sadly. "Unfortunately, I had to. He was too far gone."

"I know…one of his children is at that moisture farm, aren't they?" Blitz asks bluntly.

"Yes. And I have chosen to watch over him until he has grown ready." Obi-wan says shaking his head. "I wish I didn't have to."

"Get him and bring him with us. The Jedi order yet exists on my planet." Blitz says surprising him.

"And what if the empire tracks us. This can bring the war early on and I do not want the young boy to be harmed or ready for the empire just yet." Obi-wan argues.

"The war is already beginning. The Jedi are readying and so are my sith. The boy needs to be trained and you alone can't do it. You need help. You need the others. The Jedi were never alone. They always had each other to lean on when things got hard." Blitz says seriously.

"And what do you say, teach him the values of war? Let him learn only war?" Obi-wan asks looking to him.

"No. Teach him the force and let him learn how complex the universe is." Blitz says looking to Ahsoka and, more accurately, her stomach.

"The dark side included?" Obi-wan asks crossing his arms.

"The Jedi's teaching are flawed and you know it. I can't say mine are any better, but I can say one thing, they are the mortal way, trying to find the truth and not just suppress or dominate. The Jedi way has failed so it is time to reevaluate everything and forge a new way." Blitz says with absolute conviction.

Obi-wan stares at him as Ahsoka watches on, wondering if he will even accept. "Find the other, bring her and I shall follow." Obi-wan orders.

"I cannot for I would not know where to look. I only guessed the son was here from what I know and the evidence of your being here. Besides, Vader now knows of their existence." Blitz informs.

"It's somewhat hard on that. Their connection to the force is low at this point." Obi-wan points out.

"And yet we found you and him." Blitz counter argues.

"Only because you found someone else." Obi-wan adds.

"Master please, it is for the best." Ahsoka tries.

Obi-wan looks to her before looking back at Blitz. "We will find our way off the planet and to yours. I'm sure you have other things to do. Besides, children have a thing for long goodbyes."

"Very well. Just please hurry as soon we will be securing the borders more." Blitz informs.

Obi-wan nods and gets up and walks out of his home after he grabbed a nearby bag.

"Thank you, master. I hope you will come visit my house. I would love for you to meet my two kids." Ahsoka says.

"And there's goes another piece of my brain cells." He calls jokingly.

"It will soon be three." Blitz reminds and the room goes silent.

"Why do you have to point it out?" Ahsoka asks.

Blitz waits for it before Obi-wan finally manages a, "Congratulations."

"Thank you. Ahsoka dear, don't you have something to say?" Blitz asks leaning onto her shoulder.

"Thank you, master." Ahsoka says nicely before elbowing Blitz in the stomach, making him double over.

"It is no problem. It was nice meeting you both again." Obi-wan says smiling.

"It has been a pleasure master. Now you march!" Ahsoka orders at Blitz.

"Yeah, yeah." Blitz says walking off with her.

"You forgive me now?" Blitz asks laying beside her with both of them in pony form as the ship travels through hyperspace on autopilot.

"How could I ever be mad at you?" Ahsoka asks laying her head on his chest.

"No. Let's see." Blitz says before kissing her as he starts to get on top of her.

Ahsoka giggles and pushes him away a bit. "Easy. Got a third child here."

"I know. Now let me lay on you, my wife." Blitz says snuggling with her.

"Cute." Ahsoka says hugging him.

"Who is a good wife?" Blitz asks playfully.

"Who is a good husband?" She counters smirking.

Blitz just raspberry her.

Ahsoka laughs and hugs him tight. "Stop!"

"No." Blitz says defiantly.

"Quit it!" Ahsoka yells laughing trying to push him away.

"What can you do to convince me?" Blitz asks before feeling her shift and a hand suddenly pets him.

"How's that?" Ahsoka asks smirking.

Blitz smiles as his hind leg starts tapping.

"Good. Now will you do what your wife tells you?" Ahsoka asks chuckling.

"Not unless it is what she wants to do in bed to an extent." Blitz says.

Ahsoka stops scratching his head. "Then I guess I will stop." She says crossing her arms.

"Oh, then I will do this." Blitz says before assuming his humanoid form before starting to kiss her again.

Ahsoka smiles into the kiss and tries to hug him before she rolls on top and sits up on him. "So what are you going to do now?

"This." Blitz says starting to feel up her rear.

Ahsoka smirks. "I mean what next? We have a lot to do now."

"Home and await the clan meeting." Blitz informs before making her moan.

Ahsoka smiles as she leans down. "Then want to sleep on it?"

"I thought you would never ask." Blitz says smirking.
