Some time has now passed, and some changes had happened in the city. Toxic had slowly adjusted to living in world designer with her family. With help from Lucy she developed a somewhat casual look, and was living in the games sugar rush world with her family. She seemed happier there as it reminded her of home. She even made friends with Lucy, Cinnamon, and a couple of the old villager kids.

Sophie was even attending school with the kids now. She was becoming more open to others thanks to Miss Honeys visits everyday. She had become friends with the twins, the triplets, as well as Mocho. She was currently walking to Mochos shop with him one sunny day. Both were accompanied by sweet tooth who now sported a new look. Gone was his Afro hair, instead he now had shorter hair similar to Kevin's hair. He now wore jean pants, a pink shirt with a black jacket, and pink and black shoes. Pink was still his favorite color after all. Mocho even now wore brown boys boots.

"You're gonna love my store Sophie" Mocho told her

They passed Honeys shop, which was closed today. On the windows were posters that caught their eyes, they seemed to be new. Other stores in the area had them as well. One poster had a picture of lucys royal crest, with a no sign over it with word Resist on the bottom. The other posters featured battle droids.

"Separatists, they're here?" Sophie asked

The first poster showed the droids firing at ponies, some with babies in their hooves, frightened. It read the following

'The threat of the droid army is real. The droids aren't here to protect us. Please help us resists Queen Lucy'

The final poster showed a yellow and black droid ordering a unicorn into a shuttle at gunpoint. It read the following

'My husband, a loving father, sentenced to the games, hasn't come home. The droids are monsters, the queen is a tyrant. Help us fight'

"There's no way Lucy would approve of this" said Mocho

"What are these games?" Sophie asked

"I don't know" said Sweet tooth

"Me neither, but I'm going to find out" said Mocho

(Lucys castle)

"What do you mean you won't tell me?"

Mocho had gone to lucys castle to talk to her, but was informed she wasn't there. A couple B2 super battle droids told him the games were a classified subject to him. The B2's intimidated mocho as they were bulkier and had deep voices

"Queens orders. She says you won't like them" said a B2

"I want to speak with Lucy" said Mocho

"She's at the games. As well as your sister" said a B2

"Cinnamons there as well?" Mocho asked

"Hang on, we're getting a transmission from the queen"

The droids turned away for a second to respond to lucys call before turning back to him.

"The queen grants you permission to see the games. You will be escorted"

Mocho was then led to a shuttle by several commando droids and a couple IG-100 magnaguards. They took him to a planet not on the map, hidden in clouds. It was a dark world, lit with neon. It was covered in several cities, and around it were factories producing droid ships and fighters. Also on the planet were large arenas and coliseums, 1 was already filled. Upon landing, he was taken to a special VIP box.

In the box was Lucy, who was feasting on different snacks while she watched people in the arena throw discs at each other, trying to knock the other off platforms.

"Greetings Mocho, glad you could stop by. Guard the door droids, mocho will be safe here" Said Lucy

"Roger roger" they replied before exiting

"Welcome to the games" said Lucy

"And what are these games?" Mocho asked

"Gladiatorial games mainly, citizens can compete for money, and its also where I send some of my troublesome subjects. If they win they can go free, lose and they're imprisoned. It's a nice alternative. Good example, all the ponies here are prisoners competing for freedom" said Lucy

"This doesn't sound right" said Mocho

"They tried to rebel. They kept crops from reaching me, or my other colonies. I give them trade, protection, a place to live. There are laws for a reason. You're not a king mocho, you wouldn't understand" said Lucy

The crowd cheered as another pony hit the ground below and was picked up by droids. They held the pony up for Lucy to judge.

"Guilty or innocent?"

Lucy held up her hand, and gave a thumbs down.

"Take him away" Lucy ordered

The final round began, and cinnamon was up. The crowd chanted her name. Cinnamon wore a black body suit with neon lights on it and a helmet. Her opponent was another pony

"Final round. Combatant 8 vs Cinnamon"

The game began and both cinnamon and the pony threw discs at each other to knock the other off the floating platform, cinnamon being more agile.

"Cinnamon is my star athlete, she never loses. She's also a great cycle battle rider. You should see her in that" said Lucy

"No, I don't want to. These games are wrong Lucy. Yes the ponies did something bad but-

"Talking did nothing mocho, I've been forced to take drastic actions" said Lucy

"Well I hope you're happy. I'm going home" mocho declared

(Later that evening)

The my little ponies were on the offensive. After a couple weeks of attacking the droids in guerilla attacks, the droids retaliated by sending everyone in the planets garrison to attack the settlement. Tanks and gunships fired at a protective shield the unicorns put up.

Meanwhile aboard the Lucys tantrum, General Potts was relaying the situation to Lucy.

"It's too bad, I really liked the ponies. I wanted to be nice but I have no choice, take down the shield and wreck the place up. Tear down the entire settlement if you have to. That will be their punishment for defying my empire. Then return all droid forces to the fleet and abandon the planet, and let the space pirates attack, then they'll be begging for my help again. They will see that they need me" said Lucy

"Roger roger"

General potts ended the transmission and ordered his troops to wreck the settlement, kill anyone who might fight them if necessary. After an hour of bombardment, the shield began lowering. Rainbow squad was scared

"No ones coming to save us"

"We've got to hold out"

"For the empire" a droid shouted

The droids marched into the colony's streets, firing at everything. Gunships flew overhead and fired at barns and fields, while tanks fired on unoccupied buildings, including the local spaceport and homes. The droid soldiers tore down carts and food stands, smashed windows. It was chaos.

Meanwhile up in space, the droids in the tantrum worked as normal.

"Incoming ship coming out of hyperspace sir"

"Reinforcements?" Potts asked

It wasn't reinforcements, it was an imperial star destroyer, which immediately fired down at the droid fort and sent shuttles to the surface. The tantrum raised its shields and fired all its weapons at the destroyer.

"Aim for the energy towers, then destroy the command deck" said Potts

The battle raged for half an hour, and it seemed like the destroyer was gonna go down, but unknown to potts, a droid shuttle arrived not too long ago in the hangar from the planets surface, in it was a commando team led by the imperials. The commandos took out the main computer which was connected to the master control on Lucy 1. With its destruction, most of the army on the pony planet and aboard the tantrum shut down.

"Send an sos to Lucy 1, the imperial navy has-

The remaining bridge crew was immediately shot down by the commandos who boarded the ship. They were accompanied by a couple ponies. Potts remembered these ponies, he personally took their husbands away to the games on lucys orders.

"Does not compute, does not compute" he repeated in fear

The ponies ran to him and ripped him to pieces, ripping his head off last. The imperial Moff aboard the destroyer explained to the ponies they had heard their cry for help, and had pledged the navy to overthrow the queen and take down her regime. It would be a long process they predicted, but with their help they would free them and be allowed to rule themselves. This was a lie. The imperials wanted complete control of the empire, not thinking a 7 year old girl was a proper leader, but the ponies didn't need to know that yet.

The ponies immediately agreed to the plan and took command of the dreadnought that once terrorized them. Soon they would be free, and the droid army would fall, they just had to reach that point first
