Equestria Wars Episode XIII: Revenge of the Lunar Republic
Chapter 7: Chapter 6: Clover Returns
Previous Chapter Next ChapterStarlight meditated in her chambers as a familiar voice echoes in her head. She opened her eyes and looked around to find the source then continued to meditate. The voice spoke again and said, "Starlight, why did you leave?" An image of a yellow-orange stallion stood behind her as she did not bother to turn around. "Where were you when I needed you?"
"I was jealous when you got your cutie mark," Starlight replied. "I couldn't stay."
"You were selfish."
"Not anymore."
"You abandoned me. YOUR BEST FRIEND!! Do you even know what I have become?" An evil laugh which barely sounded like Danny's was then heard as tears began to roll down Starlight's cheeks.
"No. NO!!" Starlight activated her lightsaber and turned around, but found nothing. She could not believe who's voice was heard from years ago. She deactivated her lightsaber as Charming Thunder entered the room.
"Everything alright?" Charming Thunder asked. "I just heard you scream."
"N-Nothing. Just a vision." Charming Thunder sighed and stepped up closer to Starlight.
"It was about him again, was it?"
"Yes." Charming Thunder sighed and placed a hoof on her shoulder.
"I know how it felt to lose someone you cared about. Even a best friend. My wife Sunset left when I was a young colt. She was obsessed about the secrets of a mirror that banished the sirens." He then walked past Starlight and gazed out of the window. "I'm sure that wherever he is, he will be happy to see you." Charming Thunder turned holding the hilt of his lightsaber. "Shall we clear your mind with training?" Starlight nodded as she activated her lightsaber.

Geo's fleet encountered the enemy fleet of three Interdictor cruisers, two Centurion cruisers, and a Hammerhead cruiser leading them. The officers attempted to hail the enemy while Geo waited for a response. A hologram of a pony wearing Dark Jedi robes and carried a lightsaber and a pistol. She had a pure white coat, green and dark green mane and tail, and had violet eye color. The Leader was none other than Clover the Clever, an old friend of Starswirl the Bearded during the Discord Wars. Geo was surprised and greeted, "Clover the Clever...I never pictured it would be you leading this attack."
"Faith has brought us to cross paths in battle," Clover said. "My master; Cyber Eclipse, gave me orders to destroy you."
"You know this isn't right."
"I know, but I'm bounded to Cyber's power thus I cannot hold him at bay. I hope you survive this battle." When the transmission ended, the enemy ships began to open fire at Geo's fleet. Two KT-400 carriers made their way to Geo's ship in secret and when they arrived; they landed in their landing bays and deployed their droid forces inside. The stormtroopers attempted to halt them but the droids activated shield generators to protect them from harm. All blaster attacks were deflected away and the droids began to wipe down enemy forces. The shuttle made it to the lead ship after its Defense Mainframe Core was destroyed by the droids. Clover and the Saber Guard killed off any surviving stormtroopers and began to head to the bridge.
Geo and his forces were still on the bridge and are armed and ready to face against the upcoming forces. Soon enough, the door opened and eighty droids began to flood the bridge with their shield generators online. Geo and his forces opened fire, but their blaster fire bounced harmlessly off the shields around the droids. The droids began to kill off everyone except for Geo himself. Geo attempted to attack with melee but he found himself pushed away and onto the ground. He looks up and sees Clover and her Saber Guard. "Get me cuffs for him," Clover ordered. "And get the Engineer Droids up here to pilot this ship." Geo pulled out a smoke grenade and threw it. Smoke filled this room and when it disappeared; Geo was no where in sight. "Sixty of you, go find him! The remaining will stay and protect the bridge!" The droids left the bridge to go after Geo. Geo arrived at the hangar and boarded a TIE Fighter and flew out of the hangar.

Charming Thunder heard about Geo's report to the princesses about Clover siding with the enemy and that his ship has been taken by her droids. As Charming Thunder was getting some shut eye, he woke up in the dream world with Geo, Celestia, Cadence, Sombra, Amidala, and Starswirl in a grass field with the sky being black. Suddenly; grass began to go to the ground as it formed a figure. There was a glow of purple on the ground as an evil laughter filled the air. "I know that laugh anywhere," Sombra said with realization. "Show yourself!" A black mist appeared in front of the group and the mist turns into Mephiles the Dark. When the process ends, he looks at the group.
"Well, well, well; aren't you a sight for sore eyes!" Mephiles greeted. "King Sombra and Princess Celestia; my old pals!"
"Mephiles the Dark; what do you want from us?" Celestia asked. Mephiles appears next to Celestia and wraps an arm around her neck
"Don't play dumb Princess. You knew I'd be back." Mephiles pokes Celestia's muzzle and teleported to be in front of the group. "You think sealing me in Tartarus would stop what I have plan? I've been making deals, chatting with old friends, getting ready for the big day. You can't keep that key rift safe forever." He snapped his left hand fingers and an object appeared above his left hand floated an object. "You'll slip up and when you do...." He grabs the object and smashed it to the ground; causing a fire and a massive beam to appear behind Mephiles.
"Why are you taunting us!?" Charming Thunder demanded.
"My newest minion; Cyber, is hell-bent into getting that object to free his own father from his cell in exchange for his life. You are going to find that he will succeed in where you, Celestia, had failed."
"Get out of here!!" Sombra shouted. "You have no dominion on our world!!"
"Maybe not right now but things change King Sombra. Things...change!" Mephiles laughs as he floating up into the sky and that was when the dream ended.
