Hello again! Pikmin3411 and StormJedi does not own My Little Pony or Star Wars. Or any other show or movie seen here in. (like Teen Titans)
The Mane-6 reappeared in what looked like an old stone temple.
"Hey, this isn't the palace, what's going on Twi?" Asked Rainbow.
"Hold on guys, I will explain all of this when we get to our rooms, I promise." Replied Twilight.
The five ponies followed Twilight, who seemed to know where she was going in this temple. After multiple twists and turns, they arrived at the sleeping quarters of the temple.
"Hello Twilight, been a while since I've seen you around." Said a human wrapped in a blue cloak.
"Raven, is that you?" Asked Twilight.
"Sure is, I'm glad to see you're still around Twi, but I wish it was under better circumstances."
"Could someone please tell me what's going on here?" Asked Rainbow Dash. "I'm getting tired of all this secret stuff, who are you? And what is the IDDF?"
"May I?" Asked Raven
"Go for it." Replied Twilight.
"Excellent." Raven said. "This is what you need to know, the IDDF, or Inter-Dimensional Defense Force, is a group of soldiers and beings from multiple galaxies. We police trans-dimensional criminals, and maintain balance on hundreds of worlds."
"Ok, that's what the IDDF is, but who are you? And how do we fit into this?" Asked Rainbow.
"I was just getting to that." Replied Raven. "I am Raven, IDDF Officer of sector A-3, Twilight here is an agent of sector A-4, your home galaxy. The reason you were called in is because Amy Pond, our Director, and Spock, our science officer, were captured in an IDAF, Inter-Dimensional Assault Force, raid. Because of the battle against the IDAF, and because the Director and Spock were captured, all sleeper cells and agents have been recalled. For your own protection Twilight has brought you here to our base on Yavin, a planet in sector A-2."
"Wait, so Twi here is a soldier?" Asked Applejack.
"Actually….she is an assassin."
The girls stared at Twilight with wide eyes. Fluttershy fainted, while Pinkie Pie's hair deflated. "Don't worry." Raven said. "It is for the greater good after all." Applejack stared at Raven angrily. "How is that supposed to be for the greater good!" She exclaimed.
"I shall explain that after I give you 5 ponies a tour of the base" Revan said. She then noticed that Fluttershy is still unconscious on the floor. "Make that 4 ponies."
"What should I do?" Twilight said. Raven pointed toward a door at the end of a hallway. "There is a meeting about the IDAF raid going to start soon. You should go there." She said. "I will meet you there when I finish giving these ponies the tour of the base."
Twilight nodded and looked towards the girls. "I hope you guys can still forgive me." She said. The other elements of harmony are still too shocked from the news to even speak to her. She sadly walked to the meeting room, wondering if bringing her friends here broke their friendship.
Luke Skywalker was preparing his notes.
Why couldn't Leia have been an IDDF agent? Politics is her sort of thing.
It was almost time for the briefing. Several humanoids, creatures and animals had already filed in.
I sense sadness…
Luke watched as Twilight slowly moved into the room.
I'm going to have to talk to her later. Brooding won't help her problem.
The last of the IDDF member had made it into the room, other agents and officers would receive this briefing as a manuscript. People like Raven who could not attend the meeting.
"Welcome everyone to the Yavin Base. I wish that this meeting was under better circumstances." Luke said. "The reason you all have been called is because Amy Pond, our fine director, and Spock, our head science officer were kidnapped in what is believed to be an IDAF raid. Until we can locate these two, I am acting director and Twilight here," Luke motioned to twilight. "is our science officer. Officer Iroh will be explaining the rest of this briefing."
Luke motioned for Iroh to come forward, and left the stage.
"Good morning all of you," Iroh started. "It is a great pleasure to speak before this audience. I will get right to business. The IDAF is active again, and gaining strength."
"What is the IDAF exactly?" asked a young man sitting in the front. "Why are they suddenly attacking now?"
"That is why I was asked to explain this." Iroh stated. "Originally there was the IDAF, the Inter-Dimensional Assault Force, led by senator named Palpatine. Palpatine was a great leader, and a strong fighter. The IDAF started good, and was designed to protect Sector A-2 from inter-dimensional threats.
Sadly Palpatine was corrupted by the power he wielded; he began to conquer dimensions, instead of freeing them. It was when Palpatine attacked Sector A-1 that IDDF was born. A young lady by the name of Amy Pond recognized Palpatine for who he was, and gathered troops to rebuff him. The fight was successful, and led to the creation of the IDDF. Over the course of thirty years the IDDF freed the dimensions enslaved by Palpatine. At the end of the war Palpatine was killed, and the IDAF was thought to be disbanded."
"That is why, twenty years later, we are shocked at this attack. It appears that our enemies have found a new leader, and their strength has been gathered. The reason Luke is acting director is because he was the one who fought Palpatine, and defeated him. Twilight here was the General behind the defeat of Palpatine's armies. She has spent the last few years in a sleeper cell, training recruits for the IDDF."
"So what is the plan from here?" A woman asked. "How do we plan to stop this force?"
"For now Luke is taking stock of the IDDF strength. When we first started, we were an army, soldiers who fought for justice. Now we are a group of assassins. People trained to kill, to stop wars before they start. That is why ones like Twilight have been preparing new recruits. We knew there would always be another threat, but we had no idea that threat would be the IDAF. So ones like Twilight are going to continue to train their charges, and at the end of 6 months we plan to attack the enemy. Thank you for being here, you are dismissed. Find your direct superior for information about your job here for the next 6 months." Most of the IDDF members left the meeting room, while others stayed and talked with friends/members. Twilight saw Luke talking to a pony carrying a baton with magic, a hamster in a small clear cylinder ball, and a white dog, who seemed to understand English perfectly.
How can Luke talk to animals?
Twilight decided to talk with Luke later and started to leave. A voice drew her back.
"Twi, we need to talk." Said Luke
*Somewhere in Sector A-3*
"Sir, fleet production is at 125% of expectations; we should have our materials together three months ahead of schedule."
"Excellent, how are our 'guests' doing? I trust they have been given accommodations equal to their rank?"
"Yes sir, the director and her science chief are appropriately secured."
"Good job, where are we in clone production?"
"We have hit a mishap sir, currently we are producing 87% of expected output, and the techs can't get the spaarti tubes working any faster."
"Explain to the cloning chief that our leader will be coming to base to see how production is going, and he is not as forgiving as I am."
"Emperor Palpatine is coming here sir?"
"Not only coming here, he will be supervising the last stage of deployment. And this time, nothing will stop us."
The tall man turned back towards the viewport, as he turned, a slight glint showed his head, covered by a black and bronze helmet, with one eye covered.
Ok everyone, chapter 2 is up! Sorry for the long wait, StormJedi was busy vacationing and writing his fics, and I have band practice. Chapter 3 should be much snappier. R&R Everyone!
