Cole Ven'ru took a deep breath. A few hours ago, he was done telling Tom some Stories of the Jedi and Sith. For now, anyway. He was thrilled at the thought of Tom learning about his true Potential as a-

"Oh, hi Coco," Cole greeted. They were at the Park and Cole just happened to stroll by. Coco, still wearing her tie, was sitting on a Bench, feeding some Birds Bird Seed. She then waved at Cole."Hi Cole." She also greeted.

Cole didn't really have the Sexual interest in Human Females as most Humans did. But there were plenty of Aliens out there, Twi'leks, Rodians and even some Askajians, that did interest him. Ponies were starting to come up on his list.

"So...Mild Weather, right?" He asked, trying to start a Conversation. Coco looked at the Sky."I don't know. The Pegasus seemed to have done a good Job with the Clouds."

Cole frowned. So this is what passed for conversations on this Planet. He had also seen the Pegasus move Clouds with their own Hooves that almost amazed Cole. He would've been more impressed if it was the Force. What did amaze him was the Unicorns and their Force. The Emperor would be quite interested in this Planet.

Suddenly, a Loud shake came out of nowhere. The Ground was shaking."Earthquake!" Coco yelled in sudden Fear."No..." Cole shook his Head. Speak of the Devil..."The Empire is here."


Tom sighed. Cole had just explained the History of the Great Hyperspace War. Back then in those Days, the Force was more...stronger. In Fact, the Unicorns Magic here actually remind of that. They are ignorant of their true Strength though. But so were the Jedi.

The Jedi were Fools. So blinded by their Arrogance. Though he hated them, he had to give some Respect. They understood their Power and used when needed. But if Tom could control his-

He then heard a loud stomp outside and felt the floor beneath him shake. He recognized that Mechanical Sound from anywhere, he had heard it plenty of times during the Clone Wars.

"The Empire!" He yelled. He was still in his Cell."Twilight!" Twilight then came into the Room."That Stomping! What is that?" Tom smiled."The Empire is here!" Twilight's eyes opened wide."W-what?! But...how?"

Tom's smile grew wider."Don't know. Don't care. All i know is when i talk to the Man in charge of these Imperials, you will wish you weren't born. Now let me out." Twilight was silent."I said-"

The Bars started creaking."Let me," The Bars fell down."OUT!" Twilight moved back."How...how did you do that without a Horn?" She asked. Tom felt like his eyes were changing. He felt...different. He hadn't felt like this since...Lori...

He then grabbed Twilight's Horn."Ow!" She cried out."Wonder who they sent. Isard? She's great at punishing Females. Admiral Krennel? He burnt Aliens along with his Father just when he was a Boy. Tarkin? He grew up on Eriadu. Trust me, he'll make your Planet a living Hell. Vader? He'll-" He then stopped himself. Vader. After the Clone Wars, he swore he would kill Vader.

This Planet helped him unlock his true Potential. The least he could do was let go of the Princess's Horn.

He did so and walked out."I don't know how they found us but i am sure glad-" He stopped himself again as he opened the front Door to the Castle. Twilight, Starlight and Spike were next to Tom as they saw Ponyville. And the tall AT-AT's in the middle of the Town.

"Wow! So that's your Empire?!" Spike said amazed. What caught Tom off guard was the Stormtroopers."This isn't the Empire." He whispered.

The Stormtrooper wore white Armor and held E-11 Blasters but their were some that had weird Armor. Their Helmets had...four eyes?. They were tall and big and...they weren't Human.

"By the Light of Lothal's Moons!" Said the Voice of Cole. Ponies were staring at the Troopers and their Jaws were opened at wide at the site of the AT-AT's. Cole made it through them with ease.

"I'm assuming Tarkin must have sent you, right?" He asked the Stormtrooper Commander that had the orange on him."Tarkin...? I'm pretty sure the Tarkin Family is Dead. Who are you and what are you doing here?" Cole stopped walking to them."What do you mean Dead?"

"COLE! THEY'RE NOT IMPERIALS!" Tom yelled. Cole then looked at Tom and pulled out Tom's Blaster Carbine and shot the Commander right into his Chest.

After that, all Hell broke loose.


Tanvik and her Daughter walked through the Forest. Tanvik stopped abruptly."Do you hear that?" Her Daughter was silent."Blaster Fire. The Empire?" Tanvik shrugged."Don't know but we'll find out soon enough."

They then ran to the Source of the Sound.


Twilight was horrified. The Homes of Ponyvilled were being destroyed by the four legged grey Metal things. Houses burned and the Market and stands were destroyed to bits.

She ran through Town, trying to help Ponies from the red Laser going hit them. The Cutie Mark Crusaders were cowering in front of the white Armored Creatures. Before they could shoot, Twilight used a Spell, a Shield, to block the Lasers."Jedi? Screw this! I thought we killed all of them on Ossus!" The Troopers then ran away. Twilight didn't know that Name and right now, she didn't care.

She then turned to the three Fillies."Run over to my Castle and stay their once this is all over. Okay?" They nodded and galloped to the Direction of Twilight's Castle.

"Tom, catch!" Cole yelled. Twilight saw Cole throw him one of the black sticks that held Lasers in them."Let's kick some Traitor Ass!" Tom smiled sickly. Cole raised an eyebrow."Let's? Are you talking about me?!" Cole then ran off to the Castle of Friendship. Tom shook his Head and started shooting the Lasers out of the Weapon.

Twilight then heard a Cry of Help. She turned left to see the School Teacher, Miss Cheerilee, limping and then falling down. Twilight ran to her and found one of the Laser went on her front left Leg."Twilight...help me..." The pink Mare begged."Don't worry Cheerilee, i'll...do something!" She said, panic in her Voice. She didn't know how to heal this kind of Wound.

She then heard a groan over the Laser Fire. Suddenly, Tom scooped up Cheerilee and was carrying her, Bridal style, to the Castle of Friendship. Twilight was stunned for a moment but shook her Head and followed.


Tom kicked the Door open to see some Ponies cowering from the Troopers outside. He saw the Minister of Lothal holding her Daughter closely.

He gently put down Cheerilee and looked at Tom and his long Metal Suitcase."Tom, i got something for you. Something i have been waiting for for a long time." He smiled. Tom had seen that Suitcase a Hundred times yet never asked what was in it, thinking it was one of Cole's personal Items.

The Suitcase opened and Tom saw something he thought he would never see again. A Lightsaber. Two Lightsabers actually.

"A Lightsaber is important, Son. Important to the Jedi."

Tom saw his Father throw the Lightsaber off the Cliff.

"I am no longer a Jedi."

"Lightsaber?! Where did you-" Cole stopped him."That doesn't matter right. What matters now," He then gave him a Crossguard Lightsaber."Is that you go out there," He hand him a DARKSABER!."And Kill those Traitors! Embrace your Destiny!"

Tom activated the Lightsabers and saw the blue and black Colors. The Ponies gasped in Surprise and awe. Tom had seen Jedi and their Blades of Light before but it had been so long.

"Embrace your Destiny, Tom!"

Tom would. He would also make his Father, no, Family Proud.

"For Serenno! For the Empire!" He yelled.

He then looked Twilight."I will be back once these Traitors have been dealt with. It won't be long."


Twilight Sparkle closed the Doors as he went outside. Before they were closed, she saw him cut one of the white Armored down like he was butter. She closed the Door and tried not to Puke.

The Room was silent and all the Ponies were scared, even Maketh and Lanoree. Cole though was smiling.

"Don't worry. Before you know it, Tom will have kicked their Asses's." The Short Human assured them. The Ponies didn't seem to think so.

She then heard Cole sigh."How about i tell you all a Story?" That seemed to gain their interest."Really?" Applebloom asked. Cole nodded.

"This Story is about Count Dooku: The Prince of Darkness," Twilight saw Maketh's Face of unsureness about the Story but she didn't say anything.

"Our Story starts on-


-The Planet Bray. The Planet of Eternal Night!. It happened a long time ago, during the Clone Wars...

"Thank the Brightness you came. You actually came." Said the Leader of the Planet.

"The Jedi Council never ignores a Cry for help." Said Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Of course, he was lying.

Obi-Wan Kenobi was a Jedi Master during the time. When he was a Padawan, he was the first Jedi to have killed a Sith in over One Thousand Years. Well, he didn't actually kill him but it still is impressive for a Padawan to defeat a Sith.


Suddenly, every Pony in the Room raised their Hoof in question."Wait a Minute. General Kenobi killed a Sith? When? And are the Sith Alive?" Maketh asked.

Cole was silent."Continuing on..."


"Especially on a Planet suspected of Separatist Activity." Said Adi Gallia.

Gallia was an Alien Jedi that was also a part of the Jedi Council.

"Now, now, Adi. What has Master Yoda said about your Cynicism?" Kenobi asked."My Friends, i am General Obi-Wan Kenobi and this is General Adi Gallia. How may we be of Assistance?"

"Life on Bray has always been Hard," Explained the Leader."But since the Arrival of the Dark Lord, it has been a Living Nightmare!" "We Live in Fear, General Kenobi. Fear and trepidation." The Leader's Assistant commented.


"Excuse me if this is random, but why do you Humans wear Pants and Shirts and from what iv'e seen, Bra's?" Sweetie Belle asked. Twilight had wondered about that as well, She had never seen them without clothing.

She noticed how Cole and Lanoree looked uncomfortable, but Maketh's Face was as red as Apple."Let's keep going, shall we?"


"Dark Lord? I don't like the sound of that. Who is he?" Kenobi asked."We do not know. No one has ever seen him." The Leader said.

"Then why are you so Afraid?" Adi asked."He Plagues our Village. Nothing Works anymore. Not since the Dark Lord desecrated the Citadel of Light." "And that is where he is now? The Fortress on the Hill?"

"Once, the Citadel was sacred, a Beacon for the entire Planet. Now it is shrouded in Darkness-"

"Unlike your Village. You say nothing Works here, but you have plenty of Technology. Lights, Generators...even Droids." Adi said, looking at a Bar.

Suddenly, they were staring at a big and dark Tower.

"It appears you spoke too soon, General Gallia." Kenobi said, looking at the Tower."It is the Dark Lord." Gallia confirmed.

"He has sent his Creatures of the Night!" The Leader said as Kenobi activated his blue Blade of Light.

Kenobi and his most trusted Commander (Until the end of the War) ran to the Citadel with General Gallia. Commander Cody was like many Clones. Loyal. And Stupid but at least Courageous.

"You must save us, Jedi Knights! Save us from the Curse!" The Leader yelled as they ran."These Brayans seem a nervous bunch, General." Commander Cody said."Never underestimate Fear, Commander Cody. It is the most devastating Weapon of all."

"I can see why." Cody said once they saw a furry Creature with Wings at it's Arms and had red eyes. It was chewing a Cord to one of the Generators."What is it?"

"It looks like a Mynock." Gallia said in confusion.


All of the Ponies raised their Hooves."I'll tell you later!" Cole yelled.


"Disgusting Vermin. Take it down Men!" Commander Cody ordered his Clones.

Blue Lasers then were going to hit the Creature but something happened when it opened it's Mouth.

"I don't believe it. It's the Blaster Bolts!"


Doctor Whooves really seemed to be interested in this Story.


"Let's see it swallow a Thermal Detonator!" Yelled one of the Troopers."No, Peel! Don't get to close!" Kenobi yelled.

"Get away from him!" Gallia yelled. She then used the Force to make the Detonator explode and scare the Creature away."It's flying back to the Citadel!" Kenobi yelled once the Smoke cleared.

The Clone named Peel was scratched and turned into...A VAMPIRE!

And so, the Jedi found out who was behind this. They went to the Citadel to find-

"Count Dooku!" Kenobi said as they went into the Citadel.

Count Dooku, the Leader of Serenno. Even though i wasn't a big Fan of his Work during the Clone Wars, i did enjoy his...Courage to make the Separatist believe they could Win. They lost but he is still remembered to this day.

"Ah, Master Jedi. I would like to say it's a Pleasure but to barge in uninvited? Such terrible Manners, Obi-Wan. Qui-Gon would be disappointed." Dooku shook his Head yet smiled. Next to him was a B2 Battle Droid.

Qui-Gon was Dooku's Apprentice. He Died on a Planet called Naboo but there are some Jedi Records that say he is alive in the Afterlife...Nah, he's Dead.

"Did the Brayan Elders invite you to invade their World? To Transform their Children into Monsters?" General Allia retorted.

"That was none of my doing," Dooku explained darkly."Like you, i am but a Guest on this gloom-ridden Planet. But wait...you've yet to meet our Host..." Dooku then looked beyond the Two Jedi. Behind them was one of the Creature from before.

"Behold Ravna, Lord of Darkness!" He introduced. The Creature hissed and attacked Kenobi. The Creature then ate the Light of Kenobi's Lightsaber."My Saber!" He yelled in Shock."Iv'e tasted better." The Vampire said. The Creature then grabbed him.

"Unhand him you Beast!" General Gallia yelled, about to cut thr Creature with her Saber."I think not." Dooku said calmly as he then unleashed Lightning upon the Poor Tholothian."AAAAAA!" She screamed in Pain.

"Such Power!" The Vampire said amazed."Perhaps i should Feast on you, Sith Lord" "Remember our agreement, Lord Ravna. Help me Destroy the Jedi, and you will be allowed to Swarm free." Dooku reminded him.

"Dooku, you can't! Millions will Die if you go through with this!" Kenobi warned him."Millions of Clones, General." Dooku seemed to Correct him."I believe one of your own Battalion has already been turned. All it would take is one Infected Clone behind Enemy Lines...the Contagion would spread like Wildfire, your Defenses drained of Power withing Hours...just think of it, Obi-Wan. The Galaxy united. The Clone Wars at a End.

And all from just one Scratch."

"Yes, the Galaxy united...by me!" The Vampire declared. "Wait. What are you doing, Lord Ravna? Remember our agreement " Dooku said slowly."That we will serve your Precious Confederacy? That the great Count Dooku will allow my Children to feed where he see's fit? Ravna serves no on!"

Count Dooku then got his Throat scratched by the Vampire.

"Count Dooku? Sir? Are you Hurt?" A B2 Battle Droid next to him asked. Dooku was Dead...until his eyes opened wide. His eyes were red and he looked at the Droid."No...you do not look well at al-" Dooku then destroyed the Metal Droid with his own Hands, eating the Energy of the Droid.

"I trust you fed well, Child of Ravna..." Dooku nodded."Finally, the Jedi and Sith will be United...in my Service." Ravna smiled sickly.

"And Dooku finally reveals his true Colors. Dooku the Puppet! Dooku the weak-minded Fool!" Kenobi yelled as Dooku was about to Scratch him."So this is what the Dark Side is like, Pathetic."

Dooku stopped moving."How many times do i have to tell you Kenobi?" Suddenly, Lightning came out of his Fingers and it shot to Lord Ravna.

"Do not underestimate the Power of the Dark Side!"


"And there ends our Story. Dooku saved the Planet Bray from the Lord of Darkness." The Ponies were silent.

"So...is Dooku a good guy?" Minuette asked.

There was then a loud Explosion. Cole stood up as fast as Rainbow Dash could fly."I need to make sure Tom's okay!" Cole then ran to the Door and saw-

Tom covered in Blood. Dead Stormtroopers and two AT-AT behind him, destroyed.

Cole was Silent.

"HE'S SITH! I KNEW IT!"


Well, there's your Answer now Guest.

A:N I Apologize if this Chapter was rushed or even Lazy. I wanted the Ponies to hear another Story about the Clone Wars, especially some important Figures during that Wars like Obi-Wan or Dooku.

But at least Ponyville got attacked by the Empire. How will the Royal Sisters react?.

The Story Cole tells the Ponies is a Story from Tales from Vader's Castle.
