(Lucy 1, that night)
Lucy was in her private lab with the charred remains of general grievous, typing away on a computer trying to bring him back to life, with little success.
"This is so frustrating. I can bring back toxic with old code, why can't I fix my friend here?" Lucy asked
"Hey sis"
Lucy turned to the door to see her brother
"Hey bro"
"Any luck with the general?" Kevin asked
"Afraid not, what worked with toxic isn't working here" said Lucy
"You'll fix him, I'm sure of it. I got reports from the other ships, they're doing ok. But we gotta break the blockade. Uncle Felix is worried about aunt Calhoun. Aunt Calhoun says a lot of the recruits are angry with you" said Kevin
Lucy slammed her fist on a table
"Angry with me? I didn't make them come here, they chose this" said Lucy
"I know. They just feel it's not fair you're here and not on the planet" said Kevin
"Once the shield gate is destroyed I'll happily go down to the surface. But until then my forces here need me" said Lucy
"Just give it time sis. If anything, you'll be a better leader than I'll be" said Kevin
"What do you mean?" Lucy asked
"Look at you, you're only 7, and you programmed this entire galaxy and this fleet, all by yourself. You have special powers, you wield a lightsaber, you're really smart, you're pretty. What do I got? I'm not as smart as you. I'm not even that good a fighter. When the fallen attacked you did most of the work. You defeated the inquisitors. Why would anyone want me?" Kevin asked
"You're not as smart as me, but you do have some good ideas. When we rule the city, I know you'll show how good a leader you are" said Lucy
Kevin smiled and turned to leave before he was stopped by Lucy
"I forgive you" said Lucy
This confused Kevin
"Forgive me?"
"My accident. It wasn't entirely your fault. I'm stuck with my powers forever. But I can't let that get to me forever. I know you mean well. I know that's all you wanted to ever hear me say a year ago. So I forgive you" said Lucy
Kevin tearfully hugged Lucy who returned the hug.
(On the surface, with Calhoun)
Calhoun was eating something as she talked to a pony prisoner, who just so happened to be the same pony who reprogrammed that terminator to kill Lucy in the past on Christmas Eve.
"You have no idea how insulting this is, having to live here with machines that attacked and enslaved my fellow ponies. Then there are people like you, sgt calhoun, judging us, treating us like we are the criminals"
"Listen, Rocky is it? I don't think you're completely bad but you did try to kill my niece in the past with that terminator" said Calhoun
"A small price to pay. And it obviously didn't work" said Rocky
"I don't see how you all got this way. I heard you had 2 rulers and didn't complain about them, then all of a sudden Lucy comes along and you can't stand her, why? She gave you a new home, she made food grow faster, she gave protection and-
"How would you feel if your leader was 7 years old? She's just a child with an army of tin cans. My wife was here when she had her droids try to destroy our village. She told me she had nightmares from it. She hid in the schoolhouse with some children and a few others, but was knocked out by a blast from a gunship. She told me she couldn't move, and watched as a commando and B2 slowly walked through the fire and executed everyone. The injured never had a chance. They regenerated sure but it haunted her. She never understood why they let her live. But if lucys willing to do that, then she's a monster"
"I can't argue about that. I'm not sure why Lucy did what she did but you provoked her. All she wanted was a share of food and some respect" said Calhoun
"You'll never win. She'll never break the shield. I may be your prisoner today, but the imperials will win. They respect us" said Rocky
"The imperials are plundering your planets resources, a portion of the lower planet is gone, ravaged. They don't care about you at all, because you're not a human" Calhoun argued
"Lies, Lucy did that. She ruined this world to feed her machines. The empire brought jobs, hope, protection, respect. They will win, and queen Lucy will be standing war crimes in court. I won't rest til I see her executed" said Rocky
Calhoun punched the pony in the face knocking him out cold. It's a shame these ponies thought this way, but for now all she could do was wait and hope reinforcements could get down here soon. She was never gonna get close to the grand Moff without the droid armies help.
(Sometime later, with Sophie and Bond)
The 2 were sneaking around the imperial supply depot, planting detonators as they went around. The base was oddly scarcely guarded. There was a single destroyer in orbit, but it was highly unlikely it would spot them.
"If we can get an AT-AT out of here, we can give our troops a fighting chance" said Bond
"Then let's take one. Once we get far enough away we'll set off the explosives" said Sophie
The 2 snuck up to one of the Walker staging areas and made their way to a platform to board a Walker. Upon opening the side door, they were quickly surrounded by an entire legion of troopers, all with blasters pointed at them.
"Hands up, drop your weapons" said a captain
"Shoot us and this entire base gets destroyed" said Bond
"You're referring to the bombs you placed? You mean these bombs?" The captain asked
A stormtrooper threw in front of them several deactivated explosives.
"Troopers, arrest them. Take them to the settlement outpost for a nice long stay"
Bond and Sophie were quickly apprehended and placed in cuffs. From on top of the Walker, honeys bees watched everything happen. They quickly flew away, upset that they couldn't protect Sophie. Honey was not going to like this. Not at all.
(The next morning, with Honey)
Honey slowly opened her eyes and yawned. She was in a hotel room while her husband was in the shower. Upon putting her glasses on, she saw she had no clothes on whatsoever, only her jewelry she never took off was still on her. She spent the night having some 'adult fun', which she really enjoyed. She put on her bathrobe and saw her purse lying on the ground with its contents spilling. She got some phone calls last night, and not wanting to be interrupted from her fun, she slapped the purse off the nightstand.
She picked up her belongings and sat on the bed to look at her phone. It seemed Tori and Tails tried to call her, she wondered why. She gave tori a call.
"Hey tori, it's me. Sorry I didn't answer last night, was doing, adult stuff. I won't go into that. Did you need something last night?" Honey asked
"Yeah, did you know your daughters on Equestria fighting the princess' war?" Tori asked over the phone
"Sophie? Nah, she's not there. She's with my parents" said Honey
"I saw her on the news last night, she was fighting the empire. Tails tells me she's still on the planet" said Tori
"What?! Tori I'm gonna have to call you back" said Honey
She hung up the phone and immediately called tails, who was in space over Equestria aboard a dreadnought, about to attack a star destroyer
"Prepare for attack. All batteries open fire and raise the shields" Tails ordered
The droids at his command did what he said and opened fire. Tails noticed he was getting a call from Honey and answered
"Hey honey, see you finally called. Though this isn't a good time" said Tails
"Is my daughter on that planet?" Honey demanded to know
"Yes I'm afraid so. She's trapped behind the planetary shield, and it's worse. She got captured last night" said Tails
Honey immediately hung up
"Hello?" Tails asked
His ship started shaking.
"Aim for the power systems" Tails ordered
(Lucy 1, sometime later)
Lucy oversaw her forces from her throne aboard her castle bridge. While her family was doing other things, she merely sat on her throne in her casual outfit, putting a my little pony plush keychain on the zipper of her purse.
"Now that's so Me" said Lucy to herself
Lucy was surprised when her throne got spun around and she faced an angry Honey
"You let my daughter fight?" She angrily asked
"Miss Honey, what a surprise. I thought you were-
"Me and my husband rushed over as soon as I heard" said Honey
"Well Sophie told me she got your permission, and so did your bees" said Lucy
"She got imprisoned last night and I want her back" said Honey angrily
"Sorry can't help you" said Lucy
Honey picked up Lucy and held her against a console. The droids raised their weapons at her
"WHY NOT!?" She angrily shouted
"Look around, I'm trying my best to break through the blockade to help reclaim the planet. My forces are having no luck taking out the shield. Until we can destroy the gate and get past the blockade I can't help you. My fleet can barely help itself. I lost 7 capital ships already and the Executioner is dug in deep, it's tearing my ships apart, and my heavy cannon can't reach it yet" said Lucy
"Surely you can do something" said Honey
"There is one move but it's too risky in this position, The Holdo Maneuver" said Lucy
"What's that?"
"It's where I send one of my crippled ships into lightspeed in front of the ships, cutting them in half. I can't do that from here. If I do the ship I send will fly straight through the shield and wipe out everyone, including your daughter" said Lucy "Now unless you got any bright ideas, put me down and get off my bridge miss Honey"
Honey dropped Lucy and stormed off the bridge. She was angry, but Lucy was right, she couldn't do anything to help with the blockade and shield. She went to a bathroom to change into her flight suit. She was going out there to fight.
Hope you enjoyed the chapter, this is my final life online chapter for the year.
