Day 1
Olee Starstone swam to the surface, seeing that she was in the water.
One moment, she was on a Star Commuter 2000, suffering from a headache and seeing a bright light. Next, she woke up in the water.
How did I get here? She thought to herself.
Starstone saw a beach. She was looking at other people on the beach. She even saw ponies running.
That confused her.
Ponies? She thought.
The human woman quickly swam over to the beach of screaming humans and ponies. She also saw wreckage from something.
She noticed someone dragging a woman out of the water.
Her eyes widened when she saw it was a Clone Commando in Katarn armor and some red paint on it's helmet.
The memory of Order 66 was still with her. How the clones had turned on the Jedi...
But that had been years ago. Now, Starstone got to the beach. She saw the Clone Commando bring the woman to the beach, a DC-17m blaster in one hand, and go back into the water. Starstone herself went back into the water to help a man get to the beach.
"Emma!" Yelled a boy. Starstone saw the Clone Commando carrying a boy out of the water and was going to the beach. The boy also had a teddy bear."My sister, my sister. Emma! Emma!"
He put the kid down on the sand and went back into the water. He found a young girl that must have been the boy's sister. The clone brought her to the beach.
"I'll be right back." Starstone said to the man she brought to the beach. She then went over to them.
The Clone Commando saw her go over to them."She's not breathing." He said.
"Watch out." Starstone said, doing CPR on the little girl.
The clone saw that the boy was watching this."Come with me." He said, taking the boy away.
The boy dropped his teddy bear while Starstone continued doing CPR.
"Don't look." The clone said to the boy.
Starstone kept doing the chest compressions when the little girl finally woke up, coughing water out.
"Good, let it out." She said to the girl."Are you okay?"
"Where's my mom?" She asked her.
Starstone sighed."I don't know."
"She's meeting us in Los Angeles."
Los Angeles? Starstone thought, not familiar with that place. Was it a planet?.
Suddenly, the Clone Commando was staring at something. Starstone saw what he was staring at.
It was Count Dooku himself.
Her eyes widened when she saw the Sith Lord. She heard that the Count of Serenno had died at the end of Clone Wars. And yet, here he was.
The Clone Commando grabbed his blaster and started firing at Dooku. There were more screams when they saw the shooting.
Starstone expected Dooku to bring out his lightsaber but instead, he used his hands to deflect the lasers. He then used the force choked the clone, taking his feet off the ground.
"NO!" Starstone yelled, force pushing Dooku away. Dooku was pushed to the ground and the clone was released, falling to the ground.
The Clone Commando looked at her."Your a Jedi?" He asked her.
She stared at him for a long moment. She hadn't used the Force in such a long time.
"What the hell is going on?!" Yelled a human man with a hat on his head and scars on his face. He was holding a weapon that looked a little different from a blaster pistol.
"Where the hell am I?!" Yelled another human man. Starstone saw that the man was wearing a long jacket. He had brown eyes and black hair."How the hell did I get here?!"
After they had defeated Dooku, things slowly started to calm down.
The two kids were with a talking pony named Flim.
Count Dooku was still unconscious. Starstone and Sev found some wire from the wreckage to tie him to a tree. Starstone recognized the wreckage from a Arquitens-class light cruiser that must have crashed on the other side of the Island.
"When he wakes up, he'll use the Force to get out of the wire." Starstone told the clone.
"Watch him." The clone said. The clone went into the ocean to pull the dead Imperial Officers out of the water.
Starstone looked at Dooku before she saw another pony near her. The pony didn't seem to notice her or Dooku.
"This...this is weird..." The pony said to herself. The pony was a mare with light pink fur and had a purple mane and
There was a human man walking past the mare but stopped when he heard the mare talk."You...you just fuckin' talked..." He looked at her.
The human man wore a white shirt and had a tie and a brown jacket and a hat on his head. He also had a badge that said 9354.
"Help!" A man ran out of the jungle."Hey, I need some help! There's somepony in the jungle! Come on! She alive!"
Starstone followed the man into the jungle.
"Help! Please help me! Help! Help!" Yelled a female voice.
Starstone saw another pony. It was a pony with wings stuck in a tree.
"Help! My wings don't work!" She yelled. The pony had cream-colored fur and a blue mane and tail.
"We should climb up there." The man that had called for help said."I'll hold her steady, you pull her-"
"No, wait." Starstone said to the man. She looked up at the pony."Uh...What's your name?!" She yelled, still not believing that these ponies could talk.
"Lofty!"
"You're going to be alright, Bernard. I'll bring you down."
"How?" She asked.
Starstone lifted her hands and used the Force to levitate Lofty. She slowly brought Lofty down to the ground.
Lofty and the man looked at her, surprised.
They went back to the beach. Starstone saw the man with a brown hat that had looked at the pink pony when she had talked.
The man was staring at the ocean. Starstone noticed a weird mark on his hand.
"What's with the mark on your hand?" Starstone asked him.
He looked at her and then his hand."Eh, you wouldn't believe me if I told ya'." The man with the brown hat said."What's your name?" He asked.
"Olee Starstone. Yours?"
"Jack Vincent."
Later, Starstone saw the man that had been calling for help. The man was trying to start a fire.
"It'll be dark soon. I'll get a signal fire started so they can find us." The man said to her.
"What's your name?" Starstone asked him.
"Goodwin."
"I'm Olee Starstone."
Sev was looking for supplies from the wreckage of the cruiser when he saw a man with a long jacket. It had been the man who had yelled, "Where the hell am I?" And, "How the hell did I get here?".
"You." Sev said to the man. The man turned and looked at him, confused."What's your name?"
The man stared at him for a long moment.
"What the fuck are you wearing?" He asked the clone.
"What's your name?" Sev asked again.
"Nick. Nicky Cavella." He answered.
"Help me find some supplies." Sev ordered.
"And why should I fuckin' help you?"
Sev then popped a vibroblade out of his knuckle plate.
Nicky Cavella gulped in fear whe ."Uh...okay..."
The two then went to look for some supplies.
"If only Pittsy was still alive to help." Cavella muttered as they looked for supplies.
"Who?" Sev asked.
Cavella shook his head."Nothing."
John Marston was looking out at the ocean.
After Dutch had killed himself, Agent Edgar Ross had allowed him to go to his family. But as he had been riding his horse, his head had hurt and he started seeing a bright light.
And then, he woke up on the beach and saw people screaming.
"Excuse me," Said a voice.
John turned around and only saw a pony with a blue mane and blue tail. John looked at the pony, confused.
"Do you know how we got here?" It talked."Oh, and my name's Lofty."
"This...this can't be fuckin' happenin'..." John said, staring the pony in shock.
When it became night, everyone at the beach was sleeping. They then heard noises near them, waking them up.
"What was that?" Starstone asked.
Goodwin grabbed a stick of fire from the fire signal he made and ran into the jungle.
Starstone looked at the pony with light pink fur that she had seen after she tied Dooku up to the tree."You. What's your name?"
"Uh, Suri. Suri Polomare."
"Watch the kids." She said, looking at the two kids.
"Over here." Said Goodwin.
"It's alright." She told the kids."It'll be okay."
Starstone and Goodwin then went into the jungle. They stopped running when they saw the Clone Commando with blood on his armor.
They also saw two dead bodies on the ground.
"What happened?" Starstone asked.
They saw that a vibroblade from his knuckle plate was all bloody.
Day 2
The next day, Starstone was looking at the dead bodies of the two people the clone had killed.
"I don't remember seeing them on the beach." Starstone said.
"They attacked me. I think they were trying to take me." Sev, the Clone Commando, said.
"Look, three of the people are missing." Said Nicky Cavella."The blonde guy, the curly-haired guy, and the German who was helping us with the injured."
"Did you see anything?" Starstone asked Cavella.
He shook his head."No, I didn't."
"Where did they come from? How many there were?"
"I didn't see anything." Cavella looked at the two dead bodies."Who are these people?" He asked Starstone.
"I don't know. They're out here in the jungle with no shoes, nothing in their pockets, no labels on their clothes. These people were here before us." She looked at the bodies."We need to get off the beach. We need to find a safer place."
"Well, where are we going to go?" Cavella asked."And what about the signal fire if there's a plane or a boat?"
"Nicky's right." Goodwin agreed.
Day 3
Goodwin and some other people on the beach were collecting shellfish.
Starstone saw Suri walk over to her."Hey, that guy over...I think his name is Donald...I think he has an infection."
Day 5
They buried the man named Donald.
Starstone looked at Count Dooku, who was still tied to the tree despite being awake now. He had not used the Force to break out of the wire. He seemed to be thinking a lot.
Starstone asked Sev to talk to Dooku with her. They went over to the old man.
"How are you alive?" She asked him.
Sev looked at her."Wait, what do you mean by that? He was alive, last time I heard."
"No..." Said Dooku, shaking his head."Anakin Skywalker killed me..."
Starstone looked at them for a long moment."What year was it before you woke up on this Island?"
"19 BBY." Sev said and Dooku nodded.
Starstone had a lot of explaining to do.
Day 7
Starstone and the others caught a chicken. Sev was at the beach by himself, looking at the ocean.
After Starstone had told them everything, Sev did not believe her. He still didn't.
But Dooku said he had sensed no deception from her.
Sev didn't understand why the clones were ordered to kill the Jedi. He didn't understand why the Republic would become an Empire.
Sev then thought of his brothers, Boss, Fixer, and Scorch.
Day 12
Starstone was trying to create a sharp edge on a wooden weapon.
"That'll work." Goodwin said to her.
"I heard a pig or something out there. Maybe we can have some bacon tomorrow." Starstone noticed Goodwin and the two kids looking at her."What?" She asked.
Starstone saw Nicky Cavella come out of the jungle and into the beach.
"Where were you?" Starstone asked him.
"I had to go to the bathroom." Cavella told her.
"We have a system for that. We go in pairs." Starstone said.
"Whatever." Cavella said, walking away from her.
When it became night, everybody was sleeping at the beach.
Suddenly, they heard screaming.
Starstone looked to see people taking other people on the beach.
"You wanna die tonight?!" Yelled a familiar voice. Starstone saw the man named John Marston shoot one of the men without shoes right through the skull.
"Help us, please!" She heard Emma, the little girl, yell.
"The kids!" Yelled Suri Polomare."They took the kids!"
Starstone was able to hit one of the attackers with a rock. The rock hit her head, sending her down to the ground.
"They took Jim!" Suri yelled."Nancy's gone! They're gone!"
"Which way did they go?" Starstone demanded an answer from the woman she hit. The woman didn't move."Which way did they go?!" She tried waking up the woman."Wake up! Wake up! Who are you? Talk to me! Wake up!"
"She's dead." Goodwin said to her."She's dead."
Starstone stared at the body for a moment before she started going through the dead woman's clothes.
"What are you doing?" Goodwin asked.
Starstone then found a vibroblade from the dead woman. She also found a piece of paper.
"What is that?" Asked Goodwin.
"It's a list." She said after reading it.
Sev, Suri, John, Lofty, Jack, Flim, and Cavella were near them."A list of what?" Asked Suri.
"A list of our names."
When it became morning, they saw that Dooku had used the force to break out of the wire and killed one of the attackers by force choking them.
Dooku was still by himself though, away from the others at the beach.
Sev came back from the jungle."I couldn't find any tracks." Sev told them.
"They drag 9 people into the jungle, including the kids, and there's no sign of them?" Said Starstone.
"Hey, calm down." Said Nicky Cavella."Let's just try to figure this out."
"Calm down? Let's figure this out? Here are the names of every single person they took, all 9 of them, what they were wearing, and what they look like. One of them had a list of us." She showed him the list of their names.
"They could have gotten our names from the people they already took." Cavella said.
"Nobody knew anybody's names the first night." Starstone told him.
"Maybe they're fuckin' watchin' us?"
Starstone looked at Cavella for a long moment."You were gone for 2 hours yesterday."
"What?"
"Where were you?" She asked.
"I was going to the fuckin' bathroom, okay?!"
"Hey, stop!" Yelled Goodwin."We're all scared. Let's not get paranoid here. We don't know anything."
Lofty nodded in agreement."He's right. Why would they try to infiltrate us? That's crazy."
"Well, whoever they are, they know we're here." Said Suri."I think We need to leave this beach."
Goodwin nodded."She's right."
Starstone looked at him."You said we needed to keep the signal fire burning."
Goodwin looked at the signal fire and then looked back at her."I think it's time we let it go out."
"Wait, what about him?" Jack Vincent pointed at Count Dooku."Is he comin' with us?"
Starstone and Sev looked at each other before they looked at Dooku.
Day 15
They walked through the jungle during the day and slept at night, Sev and Dooku guarding them.
Sev had been very reluctant to bring the leader of the Separatists with them but right now, they needed to focus on surviving.
They all stopped at a stream.
"5 minutes." Starstone said as they took a break.
"We've been walking for 3 days straight, Olee." Said Lofty.
"And you're still here." Starstone told her."5 minutes.
"You know what?" Said Cavella."You want to keep walking, go right the fuck ahead. Fresh water, rock wall at our backs, lots of fruit trees, right here looks pretty good to me."
Starstone and Cavella were looking at each other for a long moment.
"Fine." She nodded."This'll work."
Day 17
Starstone was digging a pit.
"Uh, hi." Said a familiar voice.
Starstone looked to see Suri Polomare."Hey." She said to her.
"Back at the beach, the night they came back, you said that Cavella was gone for 2 hours? That he was missing? It creeps me out. Do you really think it's possible that one of us is one of them?" She asked Starstone.
Starstone looked at the mare."Why do you think I'm digging this hole?"
Day 19
Cavella and Lofty were setting up a trap to catch rabbits or other animals to eat.
"Are we really going to be able to catch rabbits with this?" Lofty asked Cavella.
"Yeah, my old man taught me how to build one." Cavella told her.
Lofty then noticed Starstone walking over to them."Oh, hi Starstone." Lofty said to her.
Starstone then punched Cavella in the face, knocking him down to the ground.
"Starstone!" Lofty yelled, shocked.
Starstone grabbed him and dragged Nicky Cavella through the jungle.
Cavella was confused."What-" His eyes widened."Oh no. No. No, wait a fuckin' minute! Not this! Not like this! I don't wannit like this, I don't wanna fuckin' die out here! NO!" He yelled, afraid.
"Jesus Christ, Holy Father, Holy Mother, forgive me. Please God fuckin' forgive me! I didn't mean it! I take it all back, all of it, I swear to christ I do! Please, PLEASE, I'm beggin' your forgiveness! I humbly throw myself on your eternal, blessed mercy! I won't say that thing I said I'd say! I won't! I repent my sins! Alla terrible things I did! My wrongful pride! I'm sorry! I'M SORRY!" He yelled as Starstone continued to drag him.
Starstone then threw him into the pit that she had dug."You and I are going to have a little talk, Cavella."
"NO!" Cavella yelled before she closed the pit with a cover.
Starstone looked at the others."He didn't wake up on the Island."
"What?" Said Lofty.
"He was here before us." She told them.
"I do not trust this Cavella either." Dooku agreed."But I do not think he was here before us. I sense no deception from him."
"Well, we do know nothing about him." Flim pointed out.
"If he really were one of them why would he still be here?" Asked Lofty.
"I don't know, but I'm going to find out." Starstone said.
When it became night, Starstone opened the cover of the pit to look at Cavella.
"Where are the kids?" Starstone questioned."Where are the kids?"
Cavella said nothing.
"Where were you before you woke up on the Island?"
"Just shut the fuck up."
"Tell me."
"Go fuck yourself."
Starstone put the cover back over the pit.
Day 23
Starstone kept asking him questions but Cavella either told her to shut up or he stayed silent.
She was at a river, drinking some water when Goodwin walked over to her.
"I'm worried about you, Starstone. You've had him down there 4 days."
"I promised that little girl that I would get her back home to her mom."
"Do you have any kids?" Goodwin asked.
"No." She answered. Having attachments was forbidden in the Jedi Order.
"We should let him go." Goodwin told her."We're not savages."
"If I were a savage, I would have cut off his finger already. That's tomorrow."
Flashback.
It was morning when Nicky Cavella was driving through the streets of New York. People walked on the sidewalk, some with their children. Cavella groaned, his head hurting. He started seeing a bright light.
Cavella noticed something on the side of the street as he drove.
It was Frank Castle, the Punisher, and a woman with brown hair and a bruised eye.
Before he could drive away from them, they brought their pistols and shot his tires.
"Motherfucker!" He yelled, getting out of the car, and holding a pistol.
"Oh, jesus!" Said someone seeing this.
Cavella grabbed a kid."Castle, you get the fuck back!" He yelled. He pointed his gun at the child's head."You want this? You want this, asshole? Dead fuckin' kid on your conscience, is that what you fuckin' want?!" He looked Castle.
The Punisher lowered his gun while the woman still aimed it at Cavella.
"Guns down. Back off. Either I walk outta here or I blow the little fuck all over you." Cavella told him."It's your call."
"Castle?" Asked the woman with a bruise on her eye.
"You won't shoot him." Castle said calmly."You're a coward."
"You...you know who I fuckin' am? I am Nicky Cavella. Don't you know the shit I fuckin' did?"
"I know you always get someone else to do the dying for you." Castle said."Psycho rep only takes you so far. After that, you're nothing. Hurt the boy and you die bad, you know that. But there's a part of you that still thinks if you let him go, you've got a chance. And that part of you just won't shut up."
Cavella stared at him for a long moment. His headache was getting worse and light was getting brighter.
He dropped his gun and let go of the kid.
"Run!" The woman yelled as the child ran away."Don't look back, just go like hell! RUN!"
"Cavella." He heard Frank Castle say.
Suddenly, Nicky Cavella then saw nothing but a bright light.
On the Island.
Nicky Cavella saw the cover of the pit open.
But instead of seeing Starstone, he saw Goodwin.
Goodwin threw down a rope."Grab the rope. I'll pull you up."
Cavella climbed up the rope."Starstone's...I think we all think that she's going to hurt you. Now, you need to get away from here." Goodwin said.
He gave Cavella something wrapped around in leaves."There's some fruit in there, now just go."
"Which way's the beach?" Cavella asked.
"That way." Goodwin pointed."Maybe 5 miles."
Cavella looked where he was pointing.
Cavella started to leave when Goodwin suddenly snapped his neck.
Day 24
When Starstone woke up, Goodwin was looking at her.
"Morning." He said.
"Morning." Starstone said to him.
"Starstone, he's gone!" Suri yelled, running over to them.
"What?" Starstone said, confused.
"He's gone." Said Flim."Cavella's gone."
They all went to the pit and saw that Cavella was missing.
Lofty looked at Starstone."What are you going to do?"
"They found us." Starstone said."It's time to move."
Day 26
They walked through the jungle. They saw the ocean.
Day 27
They stopped walking when they saw an old, wooden door.
"What is it?" Asked Flim as they looked at it.
"I don't know." Starstone said."Some sort of bunker."
"Do you think it's theirs?" Suri asked.
Sev, carrying his DC-17m blaster, went over to the door.
"What are you doing?" Said Starstone.
Sev opened the door, pointing his blaster at the room. They saw the word 'Quarantine' on the other side of the door.
They slowly walked in there, seeing something on the wall that said Dharma and they saw the numbers 935.
"What is this place?" Asked Suri.
"It looks like some sort of storage facility." Said Goodwin.
Starstone found a control panel. She turned on the lights to see the room more clearly.
They saw a blue machine that said Quick Revive. Suddenly, they heard music playing from the machine.
"When everything's, been draggin' you down, grabs you by the hair and pulls you to the ground, if you wanna get up, you need a little revive. If you wanna get up...YOU NEED A LITTLE REVIIIIIIVE!...YEAH!"
"No fuckin' way..." Said Jack Vincent when it was done playing the jingle. He was looking at the machine.
"Do you know what that is?" Starstone asked him.
"It's Quick Revive. It's a drink that can heal you." Jack explained.
John grabbed a bottle that was in the slot of the machine. He drank it.
He quickly spat it out.
"This stuff tastes like fish." John said, disgusted by the drink.
"Yeah, Finn O'leary's whiskey tasted better than this shit." Jack said, remembering how he drank that stuff when he was fighting the undead.
Starstone looked at him, confused."Who's Finn O'leary?"
"Long story." Vincent said.
Dooku went over to a chest. He opened and took something."I believe this must be a radio." He said, looking at the box.
They went outside. Dooku had the radio. He turned it on."Hello? Hello, can anybody hear me?"
Goodwin grabbed the radio."The hills are blocking it. If we want a signal we need to get to higher ground. I'll do it." He said.
"I'll go with you." Said Starstone.
Goodwin shook his head."No, you should stay here. Get this place set up as a shelter."
"We can all get it set up." Starstone said."We can make it back in a couple of hours. Let's go."
Starstone and Goodwin walked up higher ground with the radio. They were using stakes to hike.
"Why do you think they're doing this?" Starstone asked Goodwin as they walked.
"Why do I think who's doing what?" Goodwin asked, confused.
"Them. Don't you ever wonder why they attack us?"
"Maybe they're not attacking us."
"Yeah, they just drag us into the jungle every now and then. No real harm done."
"Good point." Goodwin said.
"Why do you think they take some of us and not the others?" Starstone questioned.
"That first night they took the strongest of us, our quiet friend, three other guys. They're all athletic, tough, threats."
"They didn't take you." Starstone told him.
"Guess they changed their plan after two of them got killed. Want to take a break?" He asked her.
Starstone nodded."Yeah, that's a good idea."
They both sat down.
"Can I have the vibroblade?" He asked. He grabbed a mango.
Starstone gave him the vibroblade. He cut the mango and gave a piece of it to her.
"Thank you." She said."Where do you think they got it? I mean, they don't even wear shoes. How'd they get a vibroblade?"
"Yeah, it is weird." Goodwin nodded.
"Can I have it back?" She asked. Goodwin gave it to her."Can I ask you something?"
"Sure."
"When you ran out of the jungle the day we woke up on the Island, how did you find Lofty up in the tree?"
"I heard her shouting from the beach."
"From the beach?"
"Why are you asking me about that?" Goodwin asked.
"Did he see you out there?" Starstone questioned him."Is that why you pretended to be one of us? You ran out of the jungle 10 minutes after we woke up, you weren't wet. You were never even in the ocean. Where are they? Your friends? Cavella. What did you-"
"If you had cut off his finger and he still told you he woke up on the Island, I think maybe you would have started to believe you had the wrong guy." Goodwin told her.
"Did you kill him?"
"Cavella was not a good person." Goodwin said."That's why he wasn't on the list."
"What about the kids? Did you kill them, too?" Starstone asked.
"The children are fine. They're better off now."
Starstone quickly charged at him. Goodwin pinned her to the ground.
She used the Force to push him off her. Goodwin got up and pushed her down the hill.
They were both falling when Starstone made it to the bottom with her stake.
Goodwin then jumped to attack.
She pointed the stake at him and Goodwin was impaled.
Starstone went back to the others at the bunker.
"Where's Goodwin?" Asked Flim when he only saw Starstone.
"We're safe here now." Starstone told her.
Day 41
Dooku was working on the radio. They were all outside the bunker.
"Why are you wasting your time with that thing?" She asked."There's no signal."
"I have to keep trying." Dooku said. He looked at the radio."Hello. Hello. Is anybody here? Is there anybody here?"
"Uh...hello? Can you hear me?" Said a voice on the radio.
They all looked at it, surprised.
"Who is it?" Asked Flim.
"Repeat that transmission." Dooku said to whoever was on the radio.
"Hello...we're stuck on an Island." The voice said.
"Wait...who are you?" Dooku asked, suspicious.
There was nothing.
"Who the hell was that?" Asked John Marston. He was still trying to get used to some stuff, especially stuff like a radio.
"It could be the Others that are trying to get us." Said Dooku.
Day 45
Starstone, Jack Vincent, Sev, Dooku, and Suri Polomare were at the beach when they saw something in the water.
It was a pony.
They tied the brown pony to a tree and blindfolded him.
Sev looked at pony. He took the blindfold off."Can you talk?"
Whooves looked at them, scared.
"Great another talkin' fuckin' pony." Said Jack Vincent. He looked at Suri."Do you know him?"
Suri shook her head."Nope."
"Who are you?" Sev asked the pony.
"I'm Whooves! Doctor Whooves!" He answered, afraid.
Whooves was able to break his ties. He quickly ran away from them.
They followed the pony and saw him run out of the jungle. Whooves ran to the beach.
When he got there, he saw two familiar faces. He ran over to them."Applejack! Valance!" He shouted."The Others! The Others are coming!"
Starstone and the others went to the beach and were surprised at what they saw.
They were looking at Whooves, an orange pony, and a cyborg.
Day 48
Starstone had taken the blaster pistol out of Sev's holster and fired at a human woman.
