The village leaders quickly grabbed some supplies and began heading on their way to the palace. Mace took Anakin and Lamenta, while Plo Koon and Shaak took Carmine and Gabby. Obi-Wan also continued his way to the palace on Peppermint so they could aid in the search for Kara. If she was headed for the palace or was in need, she needed at least one pair from the team searching for her specifically.

Since both the Stewjon and Shili villages were in different directions to and from the palace, the journeys were also a little different.


Mace's group took a path through another forest, while Plo Koon's went down a sandy desert path.

"Ugh! I hate all this sand." Anakin whined, amid all the sand on his hooves and in his long tail as it dragged it the sand.

"Are we there yet?" Lamenta whined, riding on her uncle's back.

"Not yet, Princess." Mace said. "Be patient."

Meanwhile, the Shili leaders escorted Gabby and Carmine down the forest path, and Obi-Wan rode as fast as he could on Peppermint to get to the palace.

All three groups ran as fast as they could for hours and hours, not knowing what awaited them at the palace.


Meanwhile, Boba and Omega were just finishing the antidote. With their parents captured, and their older brothers all captured or searching for the rest of the royal family, Silvaria threatened the guards into obeying her every order. Fortunately, she and Palpatine either forgot about the Fett twins, or underestimated them because they were kids.

Already, Silvaria and Palpatine began forcing people out of their homes, throwing many palace workers into the streets knowing they had nowhere else to go, and they were preparing to send armies to invade other kingdoms that Coruscant previously made peace treaties with.

Either way, they had to finish the antidote in order to turn the royal family back into humans and restore order to the kingdom.

"Do you think this will be enough?" Boba asked, looking at the amount of potion in the bowl.

"Just one small sip should be enough for it to work." Omega said, looking at the book of potions. "But we have to get it to the royal family first."

"I am very pleased you could make it on such short notice," said Palpatine, prompting the kids to run and hide, taking the potion and a few bottles with them.


It was almost nightfall by the time the groups arrived at the palace.

Luckily, Boba and Omega weren't the only ones who knew how to get to Silvaria's "secret" lab. Lamenta and Gabby managed to help the grownups find the entrance.

Anakin walked in with a gator biting his tail.

"Okay, why do they even have that lever?" Anakin kicked the gator in its snout, scaring it off.

In small groups, everyone took the entrance to the lab, all of them running into a crazy roller coaster ride.

"That was awesome!" Anakin laughed. "Let's do that again!"

"I think not!" Obi-Wan said, nauseous.

Carmine actually threw up into a nearby plant.

The group looked around the lab, trying to find the antidote.

"What did the potion look like?" asked Mace.

"How should we know?" Anakin said.

"Just keep looking," said Lamenta.

"There's a book right here," said Shaak, opening it. "It must be in here somewhere."

"I'll check this cabinet," said Peppermint, opening it with her magic. She found all kinds of potions for transforming into different things.

Loth cats, tigers, bears, Togruta, even Twilek... but the human potions were empty.

"Looking for this?" smirked a familiar voice.

And the entire group froze and looked to see Silvaria come into the light.

"Silvaria," Anakin snorted.

"Prince Anakin, and most of your family, I see."

"Why, Silvaria?" Carmine said angrily. "Attempting to poison us? That's a felony punishable by death!"

"My, aren't we temperamental today?" chuckled Silvaria.

"Give us the antidote, Silvaria." Obi-Wan said. "There's nine of us here, and only one of you."

"That's what you think," said Palpatine. "Allow me to introduce you to some friends of ours. And a few of yours."

That was when the bounty hunters came in, and they held hostages in the form of Obi-Wan's family, as well as the Fetts, including Wrecker. And among the bounty hunters came a new hooded someone with a horned face of red and black, and he had a sword of red light.

Obi-Wan and the others immediately panicked when he saw his wife and children being held against their wills, and the royal family was even more shocked to see their friends being held in such a way.

"Surrender the royal family, or these people will be killed one by one." Silvaria said.

"You're a really bad lady!" Gabby said angrily. "Why would you do this to us and to our home?"

"Aren't we nosy?" Silvaria sighed. "Simple. I deserve to rule this kingdom. Your late grandfather was betrothed to my mother long ago. I should've been born into this palace and become the next queen. But that was all thrown away when that foolish King Qui-Gon married common girl Tahl for... love. And then that heathen Kara came along and took the crown that rightfully is mine."

"You mean ours, my dear." Palpatine corrected.

"Maul, do your thing."

Palpatine was confused for a moment, until he was literally stabbed in the back by none other than Maul.

"It's nothing personal, Sheev." Silvaria smirked. "But I needed an easy route into the palace to carry out my plan to take the throne, and you were foolish enough to fall for my natural beauty. All I had to do was seduce you into marrying me."

Palpatine was unable to answer, as he face-planted to the floor.

Anakin and Carmine each covered their daughters' ears with their hooves.

"You're a sick woman!" Carmine said.

"I do what I must to get my way." Silvaria said. "Surrender yourselves, and your friends will live under my rule."

"You're a terrible queen!" Lamenta said. "No one likes having you as queen. Auntie Kara is the rightful ruler, and does an amazing job at it."

"Your auntie is gone. Now, are you going to surrender, or must I kill another family before I kill you?"

Suddenly, another potion was thrown, and it hit Maul, transforming him into... a duck.

That was when someone or something swooped in and knocked the bounty hunters down, and two familiar princesses came in and started untying the prisoners.

"Mommy!" the littlest ponies exclaimed happily.

Padme grabbed Silvaria and tried to take the potion, along with help from the others, only for the bounty hunters to pick themselves up and start an all-out battle, where all the potions started spilling all over the place, and transforming everyone into different things. Yet somehow, the royal family managed to stay turned into horses.

"Oh yeah!" Wrecker shouted, throwing another bottle, transforming Ventress into a harmless butterfly.

Boba and Omega soon popped in with their bottles.

"Your highnesses!" Omega exclaimed. "The antidote!"

Gabby, being the closest, ran over to her friends. But just as Omega was about to open the bottle, Bane tackled the child and made her drop it on the floor. Luckily, the bottle didn't break. Unluckily, Silvaria took out a magic wand and made a bunch of potion bottles of the same color and similar colors fall onto the floor, getting them all mixed up.

"Oh no!" Omega exclaimed.

"Where'd it go?" Boba said, picking up a couple of bottles.

"Which one, which one?" Silvaria mocked, summoning the guards she'd hypnotized. "Oh, you better hurry. I'm expecting company."

The guards soon burst in, Silvaria ordering them to kill all of the horses, as well as their friends.

"Just take them all!" Kara said.

Everyone quickly picked up as many bottles as they could carry and began running, but not without Wrecker first knocking down another table of potions to transform the guards into a bunch of different animals.

But seeing as there was such a large group of people... Jango, Zam, Hunter, as well as the village leaders stayed behind to fight the guards and the bounty hunters.

"Go! We'll handle these guys!" Hunter told his youngest siblings. "Find the right potion!"

"I'll get the family to safety!" Peppermint promised Obi-Wan.

So while the others went to hold off the guards and get the Kenobies to safety, the royal family, Tech, Boba, and Omega all ran as fast as they could to test out the potions.

"Approximately thirty different bottles." Tech counted. "If each horses tests a sip of one, we can narrow down the choices much more quickly and efficiently."

Padme opened one bottle and gave one to her husband, but that one just turned him into a frog!

"I don't wanna jump to conclusions," giggled Gabby. "But I don't think that was the right one."

"You think?" said Anakin, annoyed. They a fly came by, which Anakin's tongue shot out and grabbed. "Eww! I just swallowed a bug."

"Here, girls." Boba said, giving two more to Gabby and Lamenta. "Try these."

The little ones each took a sip. But, they turned Gabby into a giraffe, and Lamenta into a chinchilla. And when Carmine tried one, it turned him into...

"Yay, I'm a human again!" Carmine cheered.

"Not quite." Kara chuckled, motioning downward.

Carmine looked at his feet to see... the tail of a fish.

"Oh, merman. Great." Carmine said sarcastically.

"Well, we're close." Caroline shrugged.

However, that was when the group heard the sound of guards transformed into animals coming their way.

"Uh oh! It's the guards!" Gabby said. "Run!"

Everyone quickly began running as fast as they could, each of them continuing to try potions as they came across many guards trying to assassinate them.

Kara tried another potion, and she turned into a beautiful hawk. The others tried potions, but they kept turning into other creatures.

The royal family had to dodge axe-throwing squids, rampaging elephants, even angry squirrels.

"Get it off! Get it off!" Carmine cried, accidentally kicking another guard, his kick being really hard, as he'd been turned into a donkey.

At one point, Anakin was turned into a Togruta. Close to a human, but not quite. Lamenta was turned into a bat, Kara was turned into an octopus, Gabby into a monkey, and Carmine... a centaur. Each time a sip of the potion didn't turn the drinker into a human, they threw the bottle away.

"Oh come on!" Carmine whined.

"Give me another!" Kara ordered Tech, and he did. But, this one turned her into a llama.

"Okay, that one is out as well." Tech said. "Only eight bottles left."


Silvaria was not happy in the least. The guards were getting nowhere with catching the royal family, Jango, Zam, and their kids killed all her bounty hunters, and so many of her potions were destroyed. But, she had one set aside for an emergency.

"If you want something done right... you must do it yourself."


The royal family had to get to a secure area to be able to keep trying potions. So, they went to the one place they figured was safe. Kara's bedroom.

Tech locked the door, and the adults all boarded it with heavy objects.

"How nice of you to finish your own trap for me," said a familiar voice.

"Silvaria, it doesn't have to be this way." Kara said.

"I tried to be reasonable about this." Silvaria took out a bottle with red liquid inside it. "But now, your gooses are about to be cooked."

Silvaria drank the potion, and a big poof of red smoke filled the room as Silvaria grew to enormous size, transforming into... a big, scaley, red and black, fire-breathing dragon!

Silvaria unleashed a mighty roar, prompting everyone to run. But Silvaria breathed fire and stuck her giant claws or her tail in the way. Tech accidentally dropped another bottle near all the members of the royal family, and it turned them all back into flying horses. Convenient.

The grownup royal horses took this as their cue to pick up the humans and start flying away!

"Oh, are we playing a game now?" Silvaria taunted. "Alright. Looks like I'm it!"

Silvaria immediately began flying after the royal family, shooting balls of fire from her mouth, them quickly exploding or burning out from the rain pouring down.

"Split up! Now!" Kara ordered everyone.

Anakin, carrying Padme and Boba, flew West with Gabby, and Carmine, carrying Caroline and Omega, flew East with Lamenta. And each of the twins took four of the remaining potions.

But Silvaria didn't go after the twins. Kara was her primary target, this the queen knew, and she flew as fast as she could with Tech on her back.

"I have to get you to safety, Tech." Kara said. "I'm the one she's after!"

"Don't worry about me, Your Majesty." Tech said. "It appears that if we wish to turn you human, we must first take care of Silvaria."

"But my training never prepared me or my brothers to fight a dragon! What if she's right? How can I call myself a good leader if I can't even face such a beast?"

"Listen to me, Queen Kara. You have been a fantastic leader since day one. You took my family in when my parents couldn't find work after having a background as bounty hunters, you help many people who had nowhere else to go by providing them with work, shelter, and most of all a home where they felt safe and loved. And you do it all while raising your own family. And you have never been afraid to take chances in order to create peace between our kingdom and many others. You are a leader. If there's one thing working for you has taught any of us, it's that any task takes more than one being to complete, including leadership."

Kara suddenly started to remember that being remarkably like what her parents used to tell her and her brothers when they were little, and then she had an idea.

As soon as she found a safe spot, she swooped down to the ground and dropped Tech off.

"Go to any villagers you can find. Tell them the true royal family requires their assistance in defeating its greatest threat yet! Silvaria wants to use potions to fight us, we need to beat her at her own game!"


Meanwhile, Anakin and Gabby flew their group down to a farm they came across.

Padme knocked on the door.

"Someone, please open up!" Padme begged.

Someone did come to the door, a Twilek woman named Suu Lawquane.

"Princess Padme?" bowed the farmer. "What can I do for you?"

"We need a place to hide. May we come in?"

"Of course."

Padme and Boba, as well as the horses rushed inside.

"Okay, we got four potions here." Boba said. "If none of these changes you back, Prince Carmine or Queen Kara must have the one that will."

"Potions?" Suu said, sounding confused. "What exactly is going on here?"

"Long story short," said Anakin. "I'm actually Prince Anakin, the little one here is Princess Gabriella, our royal advisor Silvaria murdered her husband after failing to kill the entire royal family and instead turning us all into horses, and now she's turned herself into a fire-breathing dragon, so now we have to figure out a way to stop her and to turn ourselves back to human."

Boba fed Anakin and Gabby each a different potion, but they only turned Anakin into an owl, and Gabby into a griffin.

"Okay, not those." Boba said.

"Why did you have to get the cooler animal?" Anakin whined.

Boba opened the other two phials and fed the potions to the two animals. Gabby turned into a lioness cub, while Anakin turned into... a winged zebra.

"Oh come on!" Anakin groaned.

"Okay, it wasn't any of those."


Meanwhile, in an abandoned building somewhere...

"Try this one!" Omega exclaimed, feeding Carmine another potion, only for it to turn him into a woodpecker.

Caroline gave Lamenta the other potion, only for it to turn her into a black poodle.

"It must be one of these then," said Omega.

Omega gave one more potion to Lamenta, but it turned her into a purple Twilek. Closer to human, but not quite.

"Assuming Anakin doesn't have it, this one must be the one," said Caroline.

Carmine took a sip of the potion, and he turned... into a human.

Carmine looked at what he thought was probably going to be paws, hooves, or feathery wings, but... they were human hands!

"I'm human again!"

But the youngest girls screamed, quickly looked away and covered their eyes.

"What? What's wrong?"

"Sweetie, you're naked."

Carmine turned red when he suddenly felt the cold breeze on his skin, and he quickly crawled behind a big box that happened to be nearby.

"This is so embarrassing!"

Luckily, Caroline spotted a tarp that was on some abandoned furniture. She dusted it off and helped Carmine wrap it around himself like a toga.

"You can look now. I'm decent." Carmine said.

"At least we know now this is the one." Omega said.

Caroline also found another tarp, which she ripped a bit to make it the right size to fit Lamenta before she took a sip of the potion.

Lamenta and Carmine were so happy to be back to normal... except they both suddenly realized they needed to relearn how to walk on two legs.

"What do we do now?" Lamenta asked.

"We have to find the others and stop Silvaria before she destroys our home more than she already has!" Caroline said.
