Episode 10: School Trouble P1

Disclaimer: I do not own MLP: FIM, Redwall, Metroid, Final Fantasy VII, Tokyo Mew Mew, Sailor Moon, or Star Wars. I just own this latest multi crossover fanfic.

Mariel would be proven right, Ventress wouldn't be returning to Ponyville for another round of siege. With her army she had led decimated it would take a while for her to gain more troops. It had been nearly a week sense they had been victorious over her. Admittedly multiple skirmishes had happened during the course of the week but it always ended in the heroines winning. Right now the heroines were on their way to Twilight's throne room. Already inside it was Princess Twilight Sparkle herself as well as Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. Spike was setting the table in Twilight throne room with tea for the three Princesses.

"Not that I'm not happy to see you Princesses" Twilight Sparkle told them "What is the meaning of this visit? Princess Celestia you look shocked."

Indeed the white Alicorn answered the Princess of Friendship "Sorry our visit was a little disorganized and unannounced Princess Twilight, but we have a report from Queen Novo of the Hypogriphs. Her General, Seaspray has overheard from one of Chrysalis's soldiers that a possible assassination attempt on your life may happen."

Twilight Sparkle began to sweat "Assassinate...ME? Who would do that?"

"We are unsure" Princess Luna said "Seaspray wasn't able to get who would do that but at the moment the Changeling Queen's putting a Bounty on your head."

"BOUNTY? Oh...That's just great! Who'd accept a bounty that's on my head?" Twilight asked.

As if on cue and overhearing this Samus had entered and answered "If the price is right...Just about any Bounty Hunter would."

Spike turned to see Samus with Ahsoka, Mariel, Mew Ichigo, Sailor Saturn, Starfire and Tifa with her. He turned to Twilight "Well, Twilight, Samus knows that answer because she is one."

Twilight turned to Samus "Have you heard of anything like a Bounty on my head?"

"Honestly...This is the first I've heard about it" Samus said.

"If you weren't on our side and say on a mission to defeat Space Pirates only to return and find a Bounty on Twilight's head" Spike asked Samus "Would you accept it?"

"It's true a Bounty Hunter's Life is made for collecting bounties" Samus admitted "However I'm one of those Bounty Hunters that demand a heavy price and prefer to work alone. Now as to if I'd accept the bounty on Twilight's head, chances are I'd turn down that offer once I've determined the target is friendly and peaceful. Now if Twilight were a criminal or some villain...I'd get her but it would have to be at my terms and a good price."

"Thank goodness she has principles" Twilight muttered.

"Just because Samus has them doesn't mean all Bounty Hunters follow those same principles..." Ahsoka explained she shivers a bit "And I've had an unfortunate encounter with one of them...Known as Cad Bane."

Starfire scratched her head confused thinking Funny, Friend Robin told me about a Bane...In fact he told me that Bane broke Batman's back. I didn't know that Bane was a Bounty Hunter...

Twilight turns to Ahsoka "Do you think this Cad Bane might accept the Bounty on my head."

Ahsoka shook her head yes "Like as Samus said, for the right price he would! And...If he does accept...You're in big trouble. Bane from my knowledge isn't a Bounty Hunter that has failed at all."

Twilight gulps seeing Ahsoka so serious about this Bane that she knew "Great...Just when we were planning to rescue Braveburn...Plus I have school to lead!"

This overthrew the heroines from Earth and the Universe each of them even Samus having a shocked expression on their faces as this was something they didn't know about, although thanks to Samus's visor her expression was hidden which caused Twilight to blush red "YOU HAVE SCHOOL?!"

The question of Twilight having a school of her own certainly did cause the Princess of Friendship to blush. She looks at the heroines "Yes, I do have a school...My friends are all teachers to the school, and I'm it's head mare. Starlight's the Guidance Councilor."

"I would think that Fluttershy would be the better choice for that but Starlight is an interesting choice for a guidance councilor" Samus said recalling the many misdeeds Starilight had done to the past when Starlight told her about them one night.

"More importantly when did you have the school nya?" Mew Ichigo asked.

"Sense last week!" Spike said "It got closed because the EEA's Chancellor Neisay deemed it unworthy but Twilight overcame it and so we reopened it. It's called the School of Friendship."

"Teaching ponies how to be friendlier?" Mariel asked.

"That's the just of it Mariel" Twilight answered proudly "But it's not just centered to ponies...Ever sense Equestria has expanded and seen other tribes, we are also teaching currently a Griffen, a Hypogriph, a Yak, a Dragon, and a Changeling! Those five along with another Earth Pony colt named Soundbar make a great group of six students. The point of the school is to teach every creature friendship."

"That's nice you want to do that" Ahsoka said "even I can understand it."

"Indeed, but back to the topic at hand" Twilight told them "We were planning to rescue Braveburn well you all were."

"True" Tifa admitted "But we also can't let you be assassinated by a Bounty Hunter."

"Tifa makes a good point" Luna admitted.

"Indeed" Celestia agreed looking at the heroines from Earth and the universe "Twilight is a Princess and Chrysalis must realize that she is leading the ones that have beaten her time and time again. If she takes Twilight out, she's probably thinking of you all being in disarray. Plus Twilight's School of Friendship would lose it's head mare."

"And no doubtingly Chancellor Neisay would return and close that school down for good" Princess Luna admitted.

"We can't let that happen!" Twilight shouted then she nervously moved her hooves nervously "Oh...Why must Chrysalis put a bounty on my head at a time like this?
Samus had the solution "If I may Princess Twilight, may I suggest we go on two seperate paths. We have seven of us."

"True" Twilight admitted "But we can't abandoned Braveburn and leave him in Chrysalis's hooves."

"We won't!" Samus said "Please hear me out."

Twilight nodded "Okay."

Samus reached down and grabbed a total of seven straws, three of which were shorter "You're life could be at hand Princess Twilight, sooner or later if Seaspray's Intel is correct, a Bounty Hunter will discover the bounty and take it. So...What I propose is three of us go with you to your School of Friendship, befriending your students, but also looking out for the Bounty Hunter, you know to go undercover!"

"That's actually a smart idea" Ahsoka admitted!

"Chrysalis may in fact expect the heroines to rescue Braveburn soon" Princess Celestia admitted "Which would leave Princess Twilight unguarded, and allow a Bounty Hunter to go right into the school and kill her, then leave unopposed."

"Exactly" Samus said "Which is why I propose three of us to stay at the School of Friendship, the rest of us including Tempest Shadow will go on the rescue mission! Those that are chosen to stay here will protect Twilight from the Bounty Hunter...To give him opposition. If he wants to kill Twilight, he's going to have to go threw them first."

Ahsoka agreed "And if it's Cad Bane, he'll figure that out straight away and will gladly think of a way to do so."

Starfire spreads her hooves gaining Starbolts "I knew that Bane is smart, but I don't think he's that smart to figure out a way to go threw us without the usage of his venom."

Ahsoka heard this from Starfire and thought Don't tell me that there is another Bane in this world that she's confusing herself with...If so...She's in for a shock when she finds out that her Bane isn't the one I'm concerned about.

Sailor Saturn held her glaive close "This plan is risky with seven of us going to rescue Braveburn it'll be more tricky with five...However we need to protect Twilight Sparkle too so while it maybe risky it has to be done...It's the best option we have."

Tifa agreed "Indeed."

Mariel swung her Gullwhacker around "If I encounter this Cad Bane, I'll be glad to give him Gullwhacker to the face."

Ahsoka giggled just imagining Cad Bane's expression at being introduced and knocked out by Mariel's rope "I'd love to see that happen!"

"I guess it's unanimous nya! Alright Samus, how do we determine who stays with Twilight and who goes nya?" Mew Ichigo asked.

Samus held the pieces of straw "Simple answer. We draw straws. There are a total of three short straws in this pile of ten straws in my hooves. We each take one, then the ones that draw the short ones are the ones that stay with Princess Twilight."

"Alright then nya!" Mew Ichigo said hoping towards Samus "Samus, may I go first?"
"Sure" Samus said "I'll go last sense I'm holding the straws."

"Thanks nya!" Mew Ichigo said reaching for a straw, she grabbed one in the middle and removed it and she smiled as it was what she wanted as she revealed it to be a short one "YEAH! I got one! It's a short one nya! I get to protect Princess Twilight!"

"That you do" Samus said "But you won't be the only one of us that will...Tifa, your up!"

Tifa nodded walking forward to take a straw and spoke the results "I got a normal long one!"

"Ah, you'd probably be great in taking Cad Bane down nya!"

"Perhaps" Tifa said "But perhaps not ether."

"My turn!" Mariel said really wanting to protect Twilight as well and she drew a straw only to get disappointed as she drew a normal long one "Great...I wanted to stay and protect Twilight...But...I do suppose it's luck of the draw."

Ahsoka went next "I'll go next!"

Ahsoka concentrated using the force to determine her fate which Samus caught "Ah...Using the Force to get what you want hey Ahsoka?"

"No fair nya!"

"Yeah!" Mariel agreed with Ichigo "Not all can do that."

Ahsoka focused more "Normally I wouldn't do that," she found a straw and drew it, and sure enough her abilities in using the Force worked quite well as she drew a short one "However...I have a personal score I want to settle with Bane."

"Oh!" Mariel and Mew Ichigo said not realizing that fact.

Ahsoka explained to them "You see, this won't be the first encounter I had with Bane...And it might not be the last...My first encounter...I tried to fight him off but he captured me and used me against my Master Anakin Skywalker so that he could open a hologran which he stole from our Jedi Temple on Corusant...So it's only natural I'd want some payback."

Samus had some sympathy for her "I'm sure we all want payback on somepony else, one way or another. As for me, I still feel like the Space Pirates owe me more of their lives than what I've taken from them already."

Sailor Saturn approached the straws and drew a long one "Well...I'm with Tifa and Mariel."

"Two more pieces left nya! Whose going to be the one to help me and Ahsoka-chan nya?"

Starfire approached and drew a straw "Let's find out my good friends!"

She looked at the straw and it was a short one "That answer is me friends!"

"YEAH! We got Starfire!" Mew Ichigo said.

"Which is good" Ahsoka admitted "Because we have the flight advantage! With her Bane's about to figure out that Starfire isn't that easily beaten."

Starfire giggled "Indeed, I'll teach this Bane a lesson in breaking the Batman's back!"

Ahsoka sighed thinking Again it's not that Bane your thinking of Starfire...It's a totally different Bane.

Samus saw one straw left and it was pointless to draw it as it was the fourth long one "Then that means I'm with Mariel, Sailor Saturn, Tifa and Tempest Shadow."

Ahsoka turned thinking If we had Samus with us...We'd crush Bane for sure...Samus knows every ins and outs of being a Bounty Hunter that Bane to her would look like a total loser. After all to take a Bounty Hunter out easily you need one yourself...However, Samus's skills on the rescue mission of Braveburn has to be. We drew straws and she got a long one so it was fair and square.

"Alright!" Twilight said "We now have the three that'll be going undercover to protect me and the five that'll rescue Braveburn."

Samus nodded "Mariel, Sailor Saturn, Tifa, meet me alongside Tempest Shadow! We're going out as soon as she arrives!"

"Of course!" was the reply.

Samus turned to Ahsoka "Good luck Ahsoka..."

"Thanks Samus, we'll need it" Ahsoka told her "Bane isn't someone that is easily out thought and you would've been easily able to handle him."

Samus placed a hoof on Ahsoka's shoulder "Don't be hard on yourself, I'd stay and take him out but we drew what we drew. Besides...It's your turn to save the day. Last weeks it was Mariel's, and now you get to shine."

"That I do" Ahsoka admitted blushing "I just hope we can prevent Bane from killing the Princess."

Samus understood Ahsoka's worry "You gotta have more faith in yourself Ahsoka than what you are given, I applaud your way of thinking on why you wanted to be with Princess Twilight today. That being said, your encounters with Bane have taught you a good lesson of how he thinks and acts."

"You're right!" Ahsoka said.

Samus smiled underneath her visor and helmet "I know, so good luck."

"Thanks again" Ahsoka said feeling a bit proud that Samus wasn't as bad as she thought she was, sure Samus was a powerful and incredible fighter but deep down, Samus certainly was like most humans caring and kind, now it wasn't something Samus shown outright normally but she did when it was needed "Also...Samus..."

Samsu turns to her as the Jedi Padawan spoke the lines everyone in her universe said "May the Force be with you."

Samus nodded "Indeed, and May the Force be with you, Mew Ichigo and Starfire."

Samus walked out of the throne room followed my Mariel, Sailor Saturn and Tifa. Along the way they met Tempest Shadow whom agreed to occupy them then once they exited out the doors they went to undergo what their mission was.

Alone Ahsoka turns to Mew Ichigo and Starfire, then to Princess Twilight "We should get going to your school to show us what it looks like."

"Indeed!" Twilight said she excuses herself from the two Princesses "Thanks for informing me about this plot, now I take my leave."

Princess Celestia nodded "Right."

Luna also nodded "You're welcome..."

Once Twilight left Princess Celestia turns to Princess Luna "Let's go back to Canterlot and hope Ichigo's three friends from Earth and the Universe prevails."

"Alright" Princess Luna said "But I'll monitor anything that comes this way...If this Cad Bane approaches, I'll warn Ahsoka we've seen him."

The two Princesses left.

Princess Twilight Sparkle took her group to the School of Friendship. Once near it Ahsoka, Mew Ichigo and Starfire stopped looking at the purple school. It was surrounded by beautiful water and certainly big enough to fit lots of ponies and other creatures. Starfire looks to see the school's emblem which seemed to have the Elements of Harmony colors on it. Twilight turned to her friends "Welcome everypony! This is my School of Friendship"

"KAWAII!" Mew Ichigo shouted as this was indeed beautiful in her eyes "That's a beautiful school nya! I'd attend it regularly if it were in Japan! Wouldn't you attend a school like this Ahsoka and Starfire?"

"Honestly..." Ahsoka admitted to Mew Ichigo "Compared to being taught only at the Jedi Temple before becoming a Padawan which is the closet thing to schooling as I got, I would attend a school!"

Starfire fidgeted with her hooves as she explained her opinion "The last time I attended school, Friend Mew Ichigo was on Earth when trying to stop a mad man named Mad Mod whom managed to capture us and tried to hypnotize us to attend his own school...That wasn't a pleasant experience. So by that experience I'd probably turn down any other school...However the School of Friendship does have a nice ring to it! So if I weren't a Teen Titan or if I was young and it was on Tamerian, I'd probably go."

"Well" Mew Ichigo said "We're going inside Princess Twilight's School of Friendship! Uh, how do we plan to go undercover?"

"I'd suggest we properly go undercover and attend a few classes to make the illusion more believable" Ahsoka said.

"Good idea!" Starfire said.

Twilight Sparkle overheard this "Two or three classes?"

Ahsoka nodded "Personally Princess Twilight, I have a feeling this Bounty Hunter that's going to attempt to kill you is going to be Cad Bane providing Chrysalis's payment method meets his requirements. If that's the case, my experience against Cad Bane should make me somewhat of an expert on him. It would be best that we attend two or three classes to make it even more believable to him that we aren't onto his case."

"It should be fun learning from ponies to know Friendship more nya!"

"Agreed with friend Ahsoka on her statement Princess Twilight, if we are to go undercover we need to attend two or three of your classes. Personally one of these classes that we should attend is the one you'll teach."

"Even though I am the Head Mare, I do teach PreEquestrian History" Twilight admitted "Plus if he does make an assassination attempt on me you three would be ready to act"

"Indeed" Ahsoka said.

"Alright" Twilight said agreeing "Come to Starlight's office we'll begin to make the three day schedule. The school will open in about half an hour and I'd like to introduce you three to the other students. I'll try to center your three classes around the same schedule as six of our students, that way you can blend in more and if you need their help to defend me, I'm sure they'll help."

"With friends, Mariel, Sailor Saturn, Samus and Tifa on the rescue mission we'll need all the help we can get" Ahsoka admitted hating to get innocent civilians involved but this had to be if they wanted to defend Twilight "May we explain to those six why we are here for?"

"As long as they can keep that as a secret and if you think you'll need their help yes" Twilight said.

Twilight Sparkle showed the three ponies to Guidence Coucniler Starlight's office where Starlight was waiting surprised Ahsoka, Mew Ichigo, and Starfire were with her. Twilight Sparkle explained about the Bounty that Chrysalis was putting on her head and that was the reason why they were here. Starlight nodded to the plan and began helping Twilight find three classes for the undercover ponies from Earth and the Universe.

While this was happening a blue human like alien had indeed discovered the bounty offer on Twilight's head. His red eyes easily made out the bounty and it was indeed how much he was willing to take on a bounty. This was Cad Bane, one of the most feared Bounty Hunters in the Galactic Republic and entire galaxy just under Samus, and at the moment more feared than a young child like Boba Fett. He shook his head "Now why would anyone want to put a bounty on a pony's head? Is she someone important? Doesn't matter, I better get in touch with Queen Chrysalis that I''ll take this bounty."

He began dialing to contact Chrysalis. Chrysalis's holographic image appeared and she looks at Cad Bane whom spoke to her "Are you Queen Chrysalis?"

"That I am!" The former Changeling Queen said "Who are you?"

"The name is Bane, Cad Bane" Bane told her "and I just discovered your bounty and for the price which is right, I'm at your services...Please tell me more on the target, after all she doesn't seem to be any threat at all to the galaxy."

"If you must know" Chrysalis told him "You're target Twilight Sparkle is a Princess, specifically the Princess of Friendship and-"

The moment Bane heard that the one he was going to take out was a Princess he was sold "Say no more! I understand perfectly now. You want to off this Princess because she's leading some sort of resistance against your forces."

The former Changeling Queen's jaw dropped as Bane now figured out why she wanted Twilight gone so she asks "So...Will you take up the offer? No pony else has."

"Oh, brave queen" Cad Bane said taping his hat "You have my full services, for this though I expect to be paid right now in advance so that there isn't any confusion onto when I receive my payment."

"as you wish, I have given the payment to Riddley and Ventress whom are in a ship above the planet, they'll give you it."

"Very well, I'll arrive as soon as I can" Cad Bane said.

With this he fired his thrusters and started on his way to Equestria.

In the School of Friendship, Ahsoka, Mew Ichigo and Starfire had just received their three class schedule for the day. They were at the front doors to the school which opened. Once the doors opened many ponies and six different creatures arrived. School was opened but Princess Twilight had suggested to do morning announcements outside before everypony could go to their class. As everypony and everycreature was settling, Ahsoka, Mew Ichigo, and Starfire made out a blue griffin, an orange dragon with purple scales, a young purple hypogriph, a yak, a light blue Changeling which had red wings on her back and a light yellow Earth Pony Colt. According to Twilight's briefing these were the six students she and Starlight would be pairing their three classes with. Ahsoka expertly put a hoof underneath her chin as she looked at the Changeling. Once Twilight told them about the Changeling's ability to shapeshift into any living creature they saw, the Jedi Padawan already was thinking of a plan, one that would put the Changeling's life in danger if it came down to it.

Once all the students came in Twilight spoke "Thank you all for coming today. I just have one announcement today...So if you all quiet down a bit I'd like to tell you the announcement."

All the creatures headed their head mare's words and looked at her. Alongside her were Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity with Rarity once again dressed as a school teacher, heck she even wore glasses. This caused Ichigo to chuckle politely as she muttered "Looks like Rarity isn't just being a teacher but she's dressing up as one. She looks beautiful though nya."

Once the ponies all quieted down, Twilight addressed them all "Thank you! The only announcement I have is that we have three new students that are here today! Those of you that live in Ponyvile or the Crystal Empire might already know about them but those of you that don't. Let me introduce to you our three new students." she pauses turning to Ahsoka, Mew Ichigo and Starfire "Come up and introduce yourselves."

Ahsoka strolls up first and true to Twilight's words the ponies that lived in Ponyville knew whom she was and began chatting amongst themselves in a whisper "If she's here, do you think that this school is Ventress or Chrysalis's sights to attack?"

"Oh I hope not! Personally if that is the case Mariel would be a much better individual to lead us if that that were to happen."

"Are you kidding me? Do did you forget about her lightsabers? Those saved many of us during that first battle we had against Ventress! Plus she has some weird magic that she can use against an enemy and it can alert her to danger! Since when could Mariel do that."

"Mariel knew how to lead threw an invasion"

"Yeah well Samus is better than those two combine"

Ahsoka ignored the conversation as she introduced herself to the crowd "Hello, everypony and everycreature, I'm Ahsoka Tano, I am a Jedi Padawan from the Galactic Republic, so I look forward to learning what I can about friendship, could make me a better Jedi in the future."

Mew Ichigo strolled up waving "Hello nya! I'm Mew Ichigo! Uh, I may not be as exciting as Ahsoka here, but I'm eager to learn anything! I look forward into learning what I can here nya!"

Starfire walks up next and once again more chat was heard with another group of ponies that were whispering to each other "Starfire is here too?"

"That's actually great! She's really friendly and she can throw those Starbolts!"

"Starfire's my favorite pony that Discord brought over from Earth, she's friendly and she's incredible in combat."

"I thought you were going to bring up how she defended all of us from her sister Blackfire!"

"She had Mariel's help though."

"So? We all need help eventually, but the point is Starfire saved us from Blackfire."

"True there."

Starfire waves to the ponies "Hello friends! I'm Starfire, I'm a Princess from Tamerian and a member of the Teen Titans on Earth. I look forward in learning more about friendship!"

All of the ponies that had seen all of the ponies from Earth and the Universe expected to see Mariel, Sailor Saturn, Samus, and Tifa to appear but were shocked when they didn't. Twilight saw how they did look both confused and worried then spoke "Have no fear everypony, where it's true I brought these three here over on a mission of their own, I'm sure they can handle it...Oh before classes begin, may I see Gallus, Ocellus, Smolder, Sandbar, Silverstream, and Yona please."

The blue Griffen, light blue Changeling, orange with purple scales Dragon, yellow earth pony colt, purple hypogriph and the young female yak walked forward. The Changeling spoke shyly "What's wrong Princess Twilight did we do something wrong?"

"No you didn't" Twilight answered she lets Ahsoka, Mew Ichigo and Starfire advance "I'm choosing you six to help get our new friends organized here. You know show them around, even though they only have three classes."

"Three classes?" Gallus asked he looks at Ahoska and mutters one word "Lucky ponies to have three classes, wish I could have three. I'm Galass by the way"

"Yak wishes that too" Yona said "The name's Yona Yak!"

"We can explain nya" Mew Ichigo said "You see the three of us are from different worlds, well in Ahsoka and Starfire's case three different worlds."

"My case technically it's more like one hundred different worlds" Ahsoka muttered "After all the Galactic Republic is a big place."

"There are more of you?" The purple Hypogriph asked "Oh I'm Silverstream! I'm Queen Novo's Niece I was once a seapony but now I'm a hyppogriph! Oh wait Skystar told me that you had more friends like Mariel, Sailor Saturn, Samus, and Tifa! Where are they?"

"On a different mission" Starfire said "The three of us would be with them but something...Bad came up that at least need three of us to look into...Now hopefully nothing happens today while classes are in session but just in case friend Ahsoka, Mew Ichigo and I will make sure nothing does."

"What sort of mission are those three on?" the light blue Changeling asked shyly "I'm Ocellus!"

"A Rescue Mission nya!" Mew Ichigo said.

"What's with the nya sound?" the dragon asked "I'm Smolder by the way..."

Mew Ichigo blushes "Uh forgive me for the nya! I'm part cat"

"So" Twilight said to the six students "Can we trust you to help?"

"Of course you can Twilight!" the yellow colt said he then introduces himself "I'm Sandbar!"

"Alright then" Twilight said checking the time "Let the classes commence!"

With this the bell rang for classes.

"What's your first class?" Gallus asked the three new ponies.

"Gym Class taught by Rainbow Dash" Ahsoka said.

"That's nearly outside"

"Perfect for the mission then" Ahsoka told him.

"It's probably not our business" Silverstream said "But what exactly is your mission?"

Starfire was hesitant to answer and so was Mew Ichigo. They looked at Ahsoka whom hesitates as well not wanting to get these six involved with taking on Cad Bane just yet but in the end she saw the point "Alright can you six hold a secret?"

"Yes!" was the response from the six students.

"Well then we'll tell you" Ahsoka said "Long story short, General Seaspray-"
"That's my father!" Silverstream said "What did he say?"

Ahsoka answered " He has reported that Chrysalis has put a Bounty on Twilight's head."

"A BOUNTY?" Smolder asked "As in a capture alive or dead price?"

Mew Ichigo nodded "Yep."

"Which is why the three of us are here, if someone takes up the bounty...We're to stop him or her at all cost" Starfire said.

"Uh...Not to sound disrespectful or anything" Sandbar said to Starfire "But if you wanted to stop this Bounty Hunter, wouldn't somepony like Samus be that counter?"

"She would be the most logical solution" Ahsoka admitted "And she's probably kick any Bounty Hunter's butt. However we drew straws to see who'd be the three ponies that were here. And well, with myself, that became Mew Ichigo and Starfire as well. So we're going to have to protect Twilight."

"Do you think anypony would take the offer?" Ocellus asked "Plus if Twilight dies..."

"Trust us we know what might happen" Starfire told the worried female Changeling "Which we won't let Twilight die! Not over our dead bodies first!"

"Thanks" Ocellus said "But do you think somepony would try to?"

"No offense but to add onto Ocellus's question if there is some creature that would. But why would anyone accept that?" Gallus asked puzzled

Ahsoka answered "There is always some creature that is willing to do that."

All eyes looked at Ahsoka as she explained "In the Galactic Republic for a high price, one can hire a Bounty Hunter whose goal would be to kill or capture the target...And there aren't just one Bounty Hunter, there are a lot of Bounty Hunters...Now depending on where they are, some may turn down the offer, but there is one in particular that I know for sure would take this Bounty, his name Cad Bane."

"Have you dealt with him?" Yona asked.

Ahsoka sighed "Unfortunately...Yes...And he humiliated me..." she hung her head "Master Skywalker and I were on a mission to get a stolen Jedi Holocron back from Cad Bane and to find a Jedi Master that could help Bane open it..."

"Sounds like an easy mission"

"Well where it sounds like an easy mission it wasn't" Ahsoka admitted she grits her teeth at the memory "We arrived on the ship Bane was on and we gave chase to him, I somehow got separated from my Master and found Bane, I tried to take him on myself but he lured me to a place, then after grabbing onto my feet electrocuted me till I collapsed and it was him that held me hostage threatening to kill me if Master Skywalker didn't open the holocron for him..."

"Did you tell him not to?" Smolder asked.

"I did" Ahsoka admitted "But Master Skywalker told me he couldn't let me die. And opened it...So personally, I'm here for some much needed payback to Cad Bane. I want to defeat him for humiliating me that day and using me that way."

"Ahsoka-chan isn't it wrong for Jedi to feel that way nya?"

"I'll admit the answer to that is yes" Ahsoka said "Under normal conditions we aren't supposed to want payback or feel any type of negative emotion, however...There are exceptions...I'm sure my Master has some people he wants to give payback, and I'm sure like me Bane is one of them."

"Well then" Gallus said "Do you have a plan for this?"

Ahsoka sighed "I have one but it's not a good idea so far."

"Well let's hear what you have" Starfire suggested.

"Fine" Ahsoka said "So far my plan is to use Ocellus to our advantage."

Ocellus transformed herself into Twilight "I do have the ability to turn into anypony or any creature...I could cause confusion."

"You could do that" Starfire admitted "But there is a big problem with that and it's called putting civilians in harms way. If Ahsoka, Mew Ichigo and I fail to beat him and he gets to you he'll shoot and kill you. Sure the Princess of Friendship would live but she'd be pretty upset if that happens."

Ahsoka gets up "Not unless we find a way to make sure she doesn't die."

"Hugh?" Starfire and Mew Ichigo asked.

Ahsoka nods "You know have some sort of thing that's blaster proof...I hear Clone Trooper Armor can save one. However, that's more like a forty-to sixty percent ratio as even I've seen Clones die to blasters."

"So we make an armor for Ocellus to wear and hope it works?" Starfire asked.

"That's part of the plan!" Ahsoka said "That would happen in the worse case scenario...Bane will have to get inside this school to kill Princess Twilight which we won't allow to happen but...Providing Bane thinks he'll have a bit of resistance...He may have Droids with him and use them."

"And that's going to be the problem isn't it nya?"

"Yeah" Ahsoka said "That's the only part of my plan I'm still working on."

"I'll say it again this is risky" Starfire said to Ahsoka "If Bane shoots Ocellus and her armor doesn't save her life, she'll die and she has a long life ahead of her."

"I'm prepared to do what I can to save the Princess of Friendship though" Ocellus said.

"Yeah! Yak smash Bounty Hunter!" Yuna said.

"It is the reason why you three are here" Smolder told Ahsoka.

"Twilight's being very generous enough to make this school of Friendship to teach everypony and every creature in Equestria" Sandbar admitted.

"It would be wrong of us not to try to help on the plan" Gallus said "After all our teachers saved us when we ran away to the Castle of the Two sisters to mostly live together and we were attacked by those Puck Wedgies. It's the least we can do for Twilight Sparkle."

"Count me in!" Silverstream said stretching out her claw towards Ahsoka "After all by the end of the day if Cad Bane attacks we'll be dragged into the conflict eventually!"

"You sure?" Ahsoka asked the six "We don't want to get you all in any more danger than you are."

"We're sure!" Smolder said "So I guess sense Ahsoka is the most experienced she's in charge."

"I guess so" Starfire said.

Ahsoka sighs as the six look at her with Gallus speaking up "Just say the word Ahsoka! We're with you to help stop Cad Bane!"

Ahsoka nods as they head to Rainbow Dash's class which was a Gym class "Thanks everypony and everycreature. While we're attending class while doing Rainbow Dash's lesson, we can discuss more of my plan."

"Right" Starfire said "Now that Ocellus is actually agreeing to the plan and understands the risks, it is the best."

Ocellus nodded "Hopefully the Cab Bane doesn't get to Princess Twilight first."

She gives Ahsoka a map of the school "Would this help?"

Ahsoka took the map reading it seeing there was only one opening which was where they entered in the front doors. There wasn't any other doors leading outside nor was there a window Cad Bane could break into "This helps! Because the only way in is threw the front door."

"With that in mind, he's going to have to be clever nya!"

"Keep your eyes open" Ahsoka warned her friends "Plus...we need to figure out how to get Ocellus her armor."

"We'll need to make it I suppose" Starfire admitted.

Rainbow Dash had entered and overheard this "What's this thing about armor?"

Starfire sighs explaining the situation to Rainbow Dash whispering it to her even.

Rainbow looked alarm while trying to maintain her positive and calm demeanor without having the class know "Great...So some Bounty Hunter is trying to assassinate Twilight? Well lucky for you all you got me and Starfire...We're Pegasus Ponies. After this class I could serve as look out. Plus Twilight and Starlight must be looking up armor just in case Bane does attack."

"And that's where I come in!" Discord announced appearing.

"DISCORD!" Rainbow Dash asked "What are you doing in my class?"

Discord tut-tuted her and quietly as he could spoke to her then to the six students along with Ahsoka, Mew Ichigo and Starfire "Oh, I couldn't help but not overhear for the forth of fifth time this day about that attack that maybe coming on our Princess of Friendship. So...If it's armor you need, I could fetch it."

Ahsoka sighed underestimating Discord "Yeah, right, like you can find a Clone Trooper's armor for Osalysis to wear underneath."

Discord smirks snapping his fingers "You're wish is my command!"

Discord snapped his fingers and somewhere in the galaxy, Captain Rex's armored chest plate disappeared while Rex was on Anakin Skywalker's ship preparing him and his Cloned Brothers for battle. Suddenly Rex's chest armor vanished causing the clone to ask "WHAT THE HECK?"

Anakin turned toward his Captain just as the chest armor vanished with both Jedi Knight and Clone powerless to interfere on it and both were puzzled on how this happened "What just happened?"

"Not sure General...But it appears the armor just vanished into thin air."

"Yeah, I saw it too Rex...And yet even when I saw it, I still don't believe what I saw...Things like that never happen..."

"Permission to try to find more armor sir?"

"Permission granted" Anakin told him.

While the clone retreated to get replacement armor Anakin began to wonder how this could've happened. While Rex was going to get replacement armor Anakin asks out "What else can go wrong?"

The Jedi Knight would get his answer when about six clones lost their blasters right in front of of their Jedi General's eyes causing Anakin to wonder what exactly was going on.

Back in Twilight's school of Friendship in Rainbow's class the armor Discord selected arrived in his hands reshaped to be put on Osaylis with six Clone Trooper blasters being dropped on the ground as Discord turned to Ahsoka grinning and "Will these do?"

Ahsoka took one look at the armor and saw it was Captain Rex's armor and literally face hooves "DISCORD! You stole Captain Rex's armor! PLUS YOU STOLE SIX CLONE TROOPER BLASTERS? I didn't need those!"

"Yeah, well I'm sure the Captain wouldn't mind if Osaylis borrowed his armor and as for the blasters...Consider those borrowed too for when Bane comes so you and your friends can fight off his own Droids when they come" Discord told Ahsoka.

Ahsoka sighs shaking her head in shame as she watches Discord vanish "DISCORD! Give the armor and guns-"

Sadly by the time Ahsoka could complete her sentence Discord left. Ahsoa sighs shaking her head "Back..."

Rainbow Dash put a hoof on Ahsoka's shoulder "Should've seen that coming Ahsoka...Shouldn't have tested Discord's powers...after all he was the one that brought you and six others here."

"I should've" Ahsoka muttered "But didn't."

Ocellus looks at Ahsoka "Discord reshaped it to fit me...Should I wear it?"

Ahsoka sighs praying for forgiveness "Forgive me Master and Captain Rex...Let's hope that your armor saves Osaylis's life if Bane gets to her mistaking her for Twilight."

She turns to the Changeling "Go ahead."

The Changeling puts on the armor and oddly to Ahsoka's eyes the the Changeling's upper body seemed to nearly match the upper chest armor of an actual Clone Trooper.

"Okay then" Starfire said "If Bane arrives, we'll be ready for him."

Rainbow Dash nodded "Alright time for my lesson."

Rainbow Dash flew in front of the class to begin her lesson with Ahsoka nodding to Gallus and Starfire to be near the windows as look outs. Ahsoka knew Cad Bane would be coming and boy was she right. Bane had landed in Queen Chrysalis's camp and he was bowing to her "Cab Bane here reporting for duty Queen Chrysalis."

"Thanks for accepting my offer" Queen Chrysalis said "Now I won't require proof of Twilight's death but if you need it, bring me her head if you want...I just want her gone."

"Queen Chrysalis consider Twilight dead by tomorrow...Any place she maybe?"

Queen Chrysalis smirks as a male Unicorn Stallion was brought in. He wore a red Chancellor's outfit. The stallion was tossed to the ground "I don't have much Intel on where she'd be as she's not in her castle...Plus scouts are reporting they see four of my resistance forces coming to rescue somepony I have in my clutches...However...This stallion might."

"I'll never tell you anything you fowl creature!" the stallion said in the voice of the Brain on Pinkie and the Brain.

Queen Chrysalis smirks "Oh please, Chancellor Neighsay of the EEA, I'm not the one that you are going to tell."

Cad Bane took noticed on how the Changeling Queen was getting at, the evil Bounty Hunter grinned as he sneaks up onto Neighsay whom glared at Queen Chrysalis "You will be stopped once again! And-" he felt Cad Bane's blaster at his neck "The Queen is right...You don't have to tell her anything...The one you really need to tell is me."

"Like I'll tell you anything as well!" the Chancellor shouted.

"Unfortunately, I have no time for small talk like this" Bane warned and he put his hand on the Chancellor's back and turned on his electro gauntlets which shocked the Chancellor and he was shouting in pain with Bane stopping one minute into his torture "Will you tell me now."

"N-N-No"

"Wrong answer"

Cad Bane began shocking his captive even more and after two more minutes of this the Chancellor spoke "OKAY, OKAY! I'll talk! I'll tell you anything!"

"I knew we could be reasonable" Bane said withdrawing his gauntlets and putting the gun at the Chancellor's head "Now tell me truthfully where my target Twilight Sparkle is."

The Chancellor bit his lip even though he had tried to close down Twilight's school, he still couldn't allow Bane to get to the Princess of Friendship, but he didn't want to lose his life ether...Sadly he had to obey "Okay! She might be in her School of Friendship!"

"Ah" Bane said "A school...How lovely."

Queen Chrysalis approached the Bounty Hunter "You may have some resistance when you arrive...According to my scouts once again only four of those ponies that have been brought here from Earth and the Universe are coming my way...This may mean Twilight got word of the attempt."

"No need to worry Changeling Queen" Bane insured her "I'll get the job done..."

He grabbed Chancellor Neighsay "And you're going to help me find that school of Friendship."

The Chancellor looked at the Bounty Hunter trying to be defiant but at Cad Bane's snap, four Commando Droids grabbed the Chancellor and dragged him with the Bounty Hunter.

Queen Chrysalis smirked "Good, I look forward to seeing you die Twilight. You three friends won't be enough to save you...You'll see."
