Lucy was growing scared. One by one her ships were either being destroyed, or boarded and then having her droid crews destroyed. 2 hours after the ravager crashed, the imperials broke through the blockade. She still had plenty of ships in orbit, but they had their own problems to deal with regarding the boarding crews.
"Your majesty, the imperials are boarding in the main hangar bay"
"All available personnel, protect me. They intend to kill everyone on this station, defend your home" Lucy announced
In the main hangar, a squad of battle and super battle droids were firing at boarding groups of stormtroopers. One last shuttle landed, and inside was Zeke and his squad. By the time they exited, only several droids remained
"Wait, don't shoot! I'm not the commander, he's the commander"
The droid next to the droid was shot down by a trooper
"I guess I'm the commander now" the droid sadly admitted before being shot down
Zeke removed his helmet to speak.
"We have our orders. Troopers, find and destroy the central computer, it'll shut down the entire army once destroyed. My team will secure the queen" said Zeke
Zeke and his squad moved down a lone hallway as cannon fire roared outside. This was it, his final mission before leaving the imperials. The group stumbled upon a lone battle droid, RB-117. Zeke almost felt bad that the droid didn't stand a chance
"Uh hold it" said the droid raising his blaster
All of the squad held up their blasters at the scared droid. Suddenly a door behind it opened, and there was an entire squad of droids ready to protect him.
"You are not authorized to be here"
"We will protect the queen at all costs"
"This is for all our brother and sister droids you killed today"
The squad took cover and fired at the advancing droids, slowly making their way forward for the droids went down pretty easily. After several minutes of advancing, they only had 1 final room to go through before reaching the command deck. It was guarded by magnaguards and a lot of battle droids.
"You will all perish"
"For the queen"
The squad had to move fast and quick to avoid the magnaguards, for they took a lot of hits to take down. The B1's guarding the room didn't make things easier. Duncan and Luke were hurt from the guards electrostaffs, but they pushed on. After fending the droids off, they got their miracle. Almost all the droids, minus a few who had lucys crest on their chests, shut down. The remaining droids panicked
"Please, we surrender"
"Don't shoot"
Gordon and Duncan didn't hesitate and gunned down the remaining droids
"No survivors" said Gordon
Zeke started to feel bad. The droids knew what they were doing was futile. All they wanted to do was surrender and live. Zeke never knew a robot could fear death. One of the droids weakly reached for his leg
"Please, don't kill the queen. She's-
Duncan blasted the droid before it could finish, killing it. The 4 man squad busted open the room and fired, taking down droids they saw. Zeke was so caught up in the action he failed to notice he hit 2 children in the chest.
"Hold your fire, there's kids in here" Zeke ordered
Zeke went towards Mocho and saw he was knocked unconscious. Lucy had a couple blaster bolts in her too. She was awake, but very hurt. Zeke removed his helmet
"It's ok, we're getting you out of here" said Zeke
His squad removed their helmets so they could speak.
"Commander, don't be nice to her, that's the queen" said Duncan
"This is queen Lucy? But she's just a child" said Zeke
"We've been given new orders in the event you didn't understand this. Queen Lucy must be executed, her and her collaborator" said Gordon
Zeke got in front of her
"No. This is wrong. She might've done bad things but I would never kill a kid" said Zeke
"Me neither. I'm not killing these 2" said Luke
Gordon and Duncan held their blasters up at Zeke and Luke
"I AM YOUR COMMANDING OFFICER! I AM ORDERING YOU TO STAND DOWN!" Zeke shouted angrily
"It's treason then" said Duncan
Luke quickly rushed for him and knocked Duncan to the ground. Zeke used the distraction to knock out Gordon. Luke fired his weapon and killed both of them. The station began to shake.
"This station won't last much longer. We need to get to the escape pods" said Zeke
"What about the shuttle?" Luke asked
"I don't know how to fly. And theyd shoot us down" said Zeke
"Bottom level, escape pods" Lucy weakly told them
Zeke and Luke put their helmets back on and each grabbed a kid.
"Gotta get to the pods, gotta stay alive" Zeke said to Luke
The 2 exited the bridge and began running through the halls as the ship exploded around them. Troopers still onboard were running and screaming for their lives to notice them. The station violently shook as the remaining imperial fleet began its final attack on the station. After going through the damaged halls, Zeke and Luke made it to an escape pod bay. They got into one and launched it out of the station with Lucy and mocho safely inside. Up above, the 2 watched as the fleet destroyed the castle, and all of the remaining droid ships stopped firing.
Queen Lucys galactic empire, had fallen.
(Sometime later)
Honey was safely back home making sure things were back in order. She heard a knock at the door, and was ecstatic seeing Zeke had come home. She embraced him in a hug.
"I missed you so much" said Zeke
"And I missed you too. It's been a hectic few days" said Honey
"I know, believe me I know. Honey, as of this moment I'm not longer an imperial" said Zeke
"What?" Honey asked
"I refuse to serve that regime after what they wanted me to do up there. I did something I'm not proud of" said Zeke "I know I promised you a vacation, but I'm gonna have to hold it off, for just a little bit. I need to rethink my life"
Honey was concerned, but didn't stop Zeke from leaving the apartment.
At the hospital, the smorelines and fluggerbutter family were checking on their kids. Both were going to be fine. Kit had some not so nice things to say to Lucy, while fudge and cinnamon focused on Mocho. Vanellope and rancis were happy Lucy was alive, along with Ralph. Kevin on the other hand knew how his sister felt inside, she was angry, and sad. Everything she worked for was gone. As the parents went to sign some paperwork, he stayed with her.
"My empire, it's gone. I lost"
"Things are gonna be different for a while sis. The citizens, they're really angry at you" said Kevin
"This wasn't my fault, it was those ponies" said Lucy
"I know sis, but they don't. Give it a couple days, let this blow down" said Kevin
"Please tell me-
"I'm sorry sis. Footage of the tsunami is on the Internet. Everyone knows you caused it" said Kevin
He held her hand as she began to cry.
"I didn't mean it. I just wanted to show everyone I could do something good" Lucy cried
"I'm really sorry sis" said Kevin
"I'm not evil. I'm a good girl. I'm a good girl"
Ralph overheard the conversation from outside the door. He felt terrible. His granddaughter was now being treated like he used to be, a bad guy. He wished he could help her. But for now, all he could do was give her a shoulder to cry into.
