Chapter 3 - Starships, droids and fillies... what could go wrong?
Nebula looked at Celestia for a moment before kneeling down to look at her. "Ni kyr'tayl gai sa'ad Celestia Sol." He said before looking "Ni kyr'tayl gai sa'ad Luna Moon." He said as he rose and pulling out the phone the merchant gave him and hitting the call button.
Celestia looked at Nebula confused. "I didn't understand what you said at all." She said grumpily.
Nebula chuckled. "I know your name as my child. What I just performed is what is known as the Gai bal manda, it's the way we Mandalorian adopt others in to our Clan, from now on you are a part of my clan, Clan Soull." He said as the phone clicked. "I need to do something real quick so I need you to stay here and look after Luna." He said as he walked around the house as the person on the phone was heard laughing
"Hello?" The Merchant said and nexus growled.
"Merchant what the fuck have you thrown me into you void dwelling asshole!?" He yelled into the phone. "You have any idea what sort of shit I'm in at the moment? Faust is dead, Celestia and Luna are now my responsibility and there is a bounty on their and their mothers head made by assholes that are trying to be fucking Illuminati rip offs!" He screamed in anger.
The Merchant was silent through all of this and as Nexus finished he cleared his throat. "Ya done or is there more?" He asked calmly.
Nexus sighed. "I'm done, needed to get that out of my system."
"It's fine." The Merchant replied before his voice grew serious. "This is quiet the situation though." He said in thought before chuckling. "SO what are you going to do about it?"
Nebula sighed. "First off I need two things answered." He said as his voice turned calm. "First I need to know if you take Galactic Credit's and Cartel Coins."
"Yes I take them and any funds you had from the game are available to you here." The Merchant said making Nebula smile.
"Then I'm about to be placing a rather large order for some supplies." He said with a dark voice causing the merchant to gulp.
"Why do I feel this will be something I regret?" He asked causing Nebula to chuckle darkly.
"I've been saving up for years to buy most of the companion droids and some gear." Nebula said with a smile.
"And you want to buy it all now?" The Merchant asked with a sigh.
"I'll save the gear for another time." Nebula said. "Right now I need the companions and a few other things and while it would be nice to get some fancy guns and armor I don't need that right now."
"Well at least you have your priorities in order." The Merchant grumbled.
Nebula nodded. "You better get some paper ready because this list is... extensive." He said.
"Hang on a moment." The Merchant said as the sound of shuffling paper was heard. "Ok, so aside from the Droids I assume that you’re buying in bulk on supplies so tell me what you need and how much, I’ll have it shipped to you."
Nexus nodded. "First off I'm requesting the Cartel Companion droids. I need you to send me a D-R3D Defense Droid, P3-KP Republic Combat Droid, C8-SC3 Security Droid, K1-Z3N Iokath Assault Droid-"
"Hold on." The Merchant interrupted and the sound of typing was heard. "Ok, it shows that you already have a K1-Z3N Iokath Assault Droid registered to your account." He said.
"That’s correct, can you send it over?" Nexus asked.
"Yeah, should be easy enough." The merchant replied. "SO what ells do you need?"
"The last three I'll need is an Annihilator T4-1D Colicoid model battle droid, QO-77 Assassin Droid, and a Probe Droid." Nexus finished and the merchant muttered something.
"Ok, running the numbers this comes out 24000 Cartel Coin." The Merchant said as the typing started again. "Damn, you got a lot of Coin" He muttered and Nebula chuckled.
"Like I said, I've been saving up." He said.
The Merchant grunted. "Alright your order has been sent to the Cartel, they will be sent to you sometime in the week."
Nebula nodded. "Good now we can get down to actual business." Nebula said as he took a deep breath. "Look, I'll be honest, given my training as both Madalorian and all the stuff I've been though I could survive for years on my own but that's me and on my own."
"So you need supplies and tools?" The Merchant asked.
"No, I need more than that." Nebula said. "Food and basic equipment are important but I can find what I need here. No what I need is a base or shelter and honestly there is only one place I can think of." He said before taking a deep breath. "I need my D5-Mantis Starship."
The Merchant muttered a few things as the sounds of typing were heard. "Ok, hang on." He said as he did something, after a moment he returned to the phone. You completed the Eternal Empire and Eternal Throne story arcs, your D5-Mantis held all Grade 5 Upgrades and two of the special Upgrades. You had all perks of the ship unlocked and you have an HK-51... that would total up to around 4000000 Credits! Do you even have that much?" The Merchant asked.
Nebula nodded. "Yes I do, it eventually got to a point I didn't ever use my credits because I never used anything." Nebula sighed. "I have so many credits, credit for days literally." He said in a deadpanned voice.
The Merchant nodded. "Credit transfer complete, your ship is now orbiting Equus as we speak, if you want to get it use your Holo-communicator to contact your HK and he will take it down."
"Thanks Merchant." Nebula said.
"Hey as long as you got money I'll sell ya whatever you want." Merchant said with a laugh.
Nebula nodded. "Also can I get about 300 ingot of beskar?"
"What could you possibly need that much for?" The Merchant asked confused.
"Beskar can only be found on the moons of Mandalore and with no Mandalore that means no beskar so I'll need to order it from you." Nebula replied.
"But that still doesn't answer why you need that much." The Merchant replied.
"My armor is made from Beskar and I will need to keep it repaired." Nebula replied.
The Merchant sighed. "I only have about 250 ingots in stock right now; I can send the rest when my next shipment comes in though."
"It's fine, I was ordering extra so I could have some on hand in case something happened what your offering is more than enough."
"That will be 20000 Credits then." The merchant said.
"Everyone’s a fucking con artist." Nebula muttered under his breath. "Fine, just get the shipment here soon." He growled before hanging up and turning around to see Celestia and Luna peaking around the corner before quickly pulling away. "Didn't anyone ever tell you two that listening to other conversations is rude lakkav?" He asked calmly, after a minute of waiting the two fillies slowly walked out from behind the wall and faced the Mandalorian.
Celestia lowered her head however Luna simply giggled. "Sorry sir." She said quietly.
Nebula sighed. "Its fine just don't do it again, okay vabjau?" He asked as he reached into his inventory and pulled out his Holo-communicator.
"Where do you keep grabbing all those weird things?" Celestia asked.
"Technology Celestia not weird things." Nebula replied before looking up from the communicator. "And it's my inventory."
"Do I have one?" She asked causing Nebula to chuckle.
"When you grow up a bit more I'll see about getting you one." He replied as the communicator beeped and he answered it. For a moment there was only a static image however soon the connection stabilized and showed the metallic form of HK-51.
"Elation: Master! It is a pleasure to see you again!" HK-51 said happily.
"Hello HK-51, bring the ship down we've been wrapped up into another adventure." Nebula said.
"Inquiry: Does this mean there will be more targets for me Master?" HK asked.
Nebula sighed and rubbed his forehead before a thought came to him and he smiled. "You know HK, I think it does." He said with a dark smirk. "In fact I think you'll be quite busy in the coming few millennia."
"Excitement: Oh, I can't wait master!" HK said happily. "Announcement: I am tracking your signal now master, I will see you soon." HK deactivated the communicator and Nebula smiled.
Nebula turned to the two fillies. "Things will be changing a lot for you two." He said as he sat down in front of them. “Once my ship gets here things are going to be rather hectic so if you have any questions then you should ask them now."
"What was that creature? He looked like a golem but was different." Celestia asked.
"That was my droid HK-51, got him as payment for a mission I did on a planet known as Belsavis." Nebula replied. "Droids are similar to Golem in a way I guess but they are able to act without a masters command and aren't magic."
"Then what is he if not magic?" Celestia asked confused.
"Technology, all my equipment, tools and supplies is technology." Nebula explained. "My kind can’t use magic like yours but we can replicate and even surpass what you do with magic by creating technology."
Celestia was silent for a while as she thought about this however she eventually she returned to her questions. "So what did you mean by things will be changing a lot for us?"
Nebula chuckled. "When I made you part of my clan I made you Mando'ade or Mandalorian, this means that you will be living by the Resol'Nare and when you are ready I will send you on the cuir malhr be Mando'ade."
"What does that mean?" Celestia asked causing Nebula to chuckle.
"You'll find out in time vabjau." He said as the hum of engines was heard. Nebula looked up to see the ship descending slowly and he smiled. "Come on lakkav, our ride's here." He said as he rose and placed his helmet on. The group walked for a while in the direction of the ship with Celestia carrying Luna on her back as the younger sister giggled and played with the older wings and hair. When the finally entered the clearing with the ship Celestia gasped in surprise at the massive star ship and Nebula smiled. "Welcome to my home vabjau." He said with a smile as he walked up the ramp and activated the airlock door, the door swung open with a hiss and Nebula turned to Celestia. "You gonna come in or just stare?" He asked causing the filly to run after him, nexus chuckled and the group entered the ship.
To say the ship was massive would be an understatement and as Nebula glanced around the ship a sense of pride filled him, Despite never truly living here the memories of his character made him feel at home almost instantly. Celestia looked around with wide eyes as she slowly began to look around.
"Elation: Master, it is good to see you !" HK said as he walked down the stairs to the second floor.
Nebula smiled. "Good to see you too HK." Ne said as he placed a hand on the droids shoulder. "There's a lot I need to inform you about however before any of that I need to introduce you to two people." He said as he waved a hand at Celestia and Luna. "HK, meet Celestia and Luna, from now on there my... bakrinr." He said with a sigh.
HK looked at Nebula with some surprise. "Inquiry: Master, I thought you planed to never have children given... well the dangers of your profession."
Nebula sighed. "I'll explain when were alone but from now no I want you to treat these two with respect and protect them as you protect me."
"Affirmation: My Loyalty Protocol dictates I am to insure the protect you and those of family, I would not dream of failing in that task." HK said his voice changing from the happy tone to one of complete seriousness.
Nebula nodded. "Thank you HK, I haven't forgotten but it's still reassuring to hear it from you." Nebula said with a smile. "Head back up to the cockpit, I'll show Celestia and Luna to a bunk and then head up. He said as he walked away from the droid.
"Acknowledgement: As you wish master." HK said as he turned and headed back up the stairs.
Nebula sighed. "Let's get you settled in." He said as he turned to Celestia and Luna.

I loved the D5, not only is it an amazing ship but it has a Prefix that you would see on a Klingon ship!
Also that is ALOT of droids! Is it just one of each or?
So do you plan on Sending HK after those bastards that got Faust Killed? Hell Claim the bounty too, it would throw them off and give you some breathing room until they get wise! NOW we go to the MOOOOOOON to set up a base!
9595016
The D5 is the best ship and if you look at it's codex entry it's even more awesome! There will only be one per type of droid, don't want to turn into an overpowered asshole.
9595623
Hate to say this, but a little late for that. He is a Mandalorian with all the classic fixtures, He is now a Clan leader with two of the most powerful Alicorns to ever exist (before Twilight) in it, he now has a D5 Mantis and can get away from the bounty hunters by going into space, he also now has more Beskar on the way, he also now has some of the Most OP droids in SWTOR AND to top it all off? He now has an HK unit ready and willing to kill who needs to be killed.
If that's not OP I would hate to see your Definition of the word.
Also now that I think about it, I wonder how Equestria will turn out with two Mandalorian trained an minded Alicorns leading it, it's a Scary thought! I feel sorry for some of the Villians if I am honest.
On one last side note, Is the Crystal Empire a thing yet? I really want him to find a Young Sombra and bring him into the Clan.
9595649
My version of OP can kill gods so... yeah, as for Nebula being a Clan Leader that's part of his lore. He was the leader of Clan Soull before becoming Displaced, since the human and Game character merged together he acquired all of his games characters knowledge and status. This also includes training, skills and combat prowess.
The Crystal Empire is it's own kingdom separate from other countries, it currently exists and is ruled by Queen Amore , Cadences mother, an OC that is somewhat uncommon in fanfictions bit does exist.
Honestly when Equestria is founded it will be entirely different from the one on the show. I won't give much away but you get three questions about what it will be like before I refuse to answer any other questions made by anyone else.
9595898
Cracks knuckles Right then!
First Question: Will Equestria still be a Diarchy or will we see something more along the lines of the Unified Clans?
Second Question: Will your Equestria follow the Mandalorians tendency towards one culture no matter the species?
Final Question: Will there be any outside Alien Species when and if Equestria expands into space?
Princess Amore isn't an OC, She is the Queen of the Crystal Empire in the IDW Comics and one of the Main reasons Sombra became the way we see him. Hence why I asked if there was a chance he could be adopted into Nebula's Clan and taken away from Amore and the Empire. Sombra is Part Umbra (Umbrum?) so the Crystal Faire hurts him massively as his race has natural dark magic.
Not only that but the defeat of Sombra and the Banishment of the Crystal Empire is what really set into motion the turning of Luna.
9596014
Sombra will not join Nebula's Clan, the reason for this is because Nebula is aware of future events and despite his presence obviously altering the timeline he plans to not intervene or change anything unless he has to. This means that every villain from Discord to Tirek will be in the story.
Q&A Session
Q: Will Equestria still be a Diarchy or will we see something more along the lines of the Unified Clans?
A: That's a difficult question to answer because of how I plan to have Equestria be. I guess you could say that Nebula will technically be the 'king' of equestria while Celestia and Luna will still be the 'Princesses' of Equestria and share equal power. The Noble Houses will act as Mandalorian Clans and are permitted to do what ever is they want as long as they obey Nebula and the Princesses.
In short Nebula's Clan will be the leader of all other clans, this is why Celestia and Luna are Princesses
Q: Will your Equestria follow the Mandalorians tendency towards one culture no matter the species?
A: Kinda Equestria will predominantly follow Mandalorian teachings and the Resol'Nare, while they won't go on a crusade against other cultures they won't exactly agree with them. I guess the best was to put it is that they will tolerate them unless they cause problems.
Q: Will there be any outside Alien Species when and if Equestria expands into space?
A: No, there will not be any aliens or other creatures from Star Wars, Equestria will also not be getting Space travel. The Reason for this will be explained in later chapters so for now that's all you get.
These were some good questions but that's all I will be giving for this story, at least for now. I enjoyed doing this and might do it again later but for now that will be all.
9596821
I think Sombra should be one of the few situations that he get's involved in as it's Child Abuse on Amores side. I mean that Litterly, she knew the ENTIRE TIME that the Crystal Faire was hurting Sombra and pushing him towards the Dark side of his Species and yet didn't do anything at all to shield Sombra from the effects.
If the Timelines line up, he would be no older then the Season 1 CMC! I wouldn't be able to stand aside knowing what he could and would become if I didn't step in. If for nothing more then to get him to a more loving Environment or outright Adopt him myself.
On Question two I think I should Clarify what I was saying: I meant more towards the Mandalorians Tendency to Not care about Species when it came to Clans and their Members. Like for Example the Huntmaster in SWTOR, in other words Aliit ori'shya tal'din.
9596848
Honestly there are three factors that prevent Nebula from interfering with Sombra, the first is that he doesn't have any authority in the Crystal Empire, second is how Equestria will be viewed at that time frame, and theirs is that he won't know till it's too late due to Queen Amora not doing anything. Like you said she did nothing and didn't seem to actually care at all. Also in this timeline Queen Amora will not be killed by Sombra but by another, guess who.
As for the question, other creatures, like Griffons or Minotaur, are generaly not cared about unless they are part of the clan. By this I mean that there not seen as animals, slaves or lesser beings but a mandolorian wont go out of their way to help other creatures unless there is something in it for them.
As for your comment on Aliit ori'shya tal'din, it's written into Mando'ade law that family comes before all followed closely by the clan. If you are given a choice between your Clan or your Family then you will choose your family if not you are branded as a dar'manda (Outcast). The only exception to this is if your family is branded as aruetii (Traitor) to Mand'alor in which case the needs of the Clan come first, this is the case of Torian Cadera, when he executes his father to regain his clans honor and unbrand himself as dar'manda.
9596904
......I can't really think of any one else who would have the drive to "Kill" Amore, other then maybe HK-51 or Nubula. But I also don't know what Villains are still around at this point in the timeline so I guess it could be anyone.
So if a Griffion or Minotaur showed willingness to follow the Resol'nare and become Mandalorian then they would be ignored? How would that work? There are going to be those who want to be Mandalorian and found their own clans.
Sooooo, sending HK-51 to scout out the Empire and "Accidentally" finding Sombra in one of his near fatal Fits during a Faire is out of the question then? I mean Nebula is going to have to have Intel on everything any way >.>
9596972
If a Griffon Minotaur or other race showed willingness to follow the Resol'nare and become Mandalorian they would be allowed to become Mandalorian after passing the cuir malhr be Mando'ade. (4 task of Mandalorians)
The tasks are extremely difficult and symbolize you becoming Mandalorian, not may have ever done it but those that do are made Mandalorian.
Here are the four tasks of cuir malhr be Mando'ade:
In this way you become Mandalorian in Mind.
In this way you become Mandalorian in Spirit.
In this way you become Mandalorian in Body.
9597421
I wasn't sure if the 4 Tasks would come into play as the First and Third Tasks would be all but Impossible from my understanding.
On a side note, why didn't Nebula ask for HK-47?
9597633
HK-47 is not an available companion in SWTOR, also he's technically dead because in the False Emperor flashpoint follows the Battle of Ilum you destroy HK completely. It's quite sad honestly but may he rest in robot hell.
media.giphy.com/media/H1Y1mjqu942yc/giphy.gif
9597786
It depends on what contenuity you put SWTOR in, as HK-47s AI can be found on a hammerhead class ship around the early to late years of the Galactic Empire
Informative: I am a Tech Priest.
Statement: I would like more.
I can see this story going a lot of diffrent ways, the end resalt though? I. WANT. MORE.
We must have more
9595898
Kinda like how Satoru Suzuki became one with his avatar Lord Momonga from Overlord.
9758113
Nebula is Mercenary class and I did toy with the idea of Mako being the AI but later had an idea.
I have a plan to have most of the crew be apart of the story but not for a long time and this plan may change.
9758161
Any Idea's on when this is gonna get an update?
9780097
I've been working on it but it's slow going as there's a lot of lore I need to build both Star Wars wise and MLP wise. At present my planed release date is sometime before the end of this month but I can't guarantee anything.
Not only do I need to build lore but also make sure it doesn't counter or invalidate any lore I have established at preset. I'm also only one person and I do both writing and editing as well as working on four other stories and one I plan to release soon. Overall I'm swamped with work both writing and in RL.
9780242
NP, Take your time. I was just wondering.
What's this new Story?
9780362
I prefer surprises to simply telling.
9780381
Must be good then, Can't wait to see what it is! Got a Provincial post date?
9780399
Not yet sadly, I want to have a few chapters ready so I have more leeway to work on it and more stories before I post it so it may be a while. I do know I will have finished the next chapter of this story and maybe the entire Arc 1 of Lost Dreamer before I post any new stories.
more
I don't know if it's matters, but Mandalorians aren't that preachy about their warrior culture. The only thing this particular Bounty Hunter would do is to collect bounties in Equestria and take care of two sisters the best way he can.
9947112
Disney has played a huge role in making them look other wise but look up some of the legends Mandalorian lore. You'll find that they're actually pretty extreme around the time that Nebula came from.
I just read up to this point, and I gotta say I loved it, and I would love to see more, and as a big Star wars mandalorian fan and as there's not many stories like this, I LOVED it, please keep up the good work, I shall wait for more
