Cinematic Adventures: Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back

Hoth

In the deepest, darkest corner of Wild Space lies the frozen planet of Hoth. The desolate ice planet has very few life forms capable of living in such frigid terrain the planet offered. A gigantic star destroyer, The Infernus, flew slowly in the direction of the snowy planet. Aboard the gigantic battleship, a certain cyborg general stood staring out at the current location of the rebel scum. A lone imperial soldier cautiously approached the monstrous machine.

"General Grievous sir," He spoke nervously.

The recently restored Grievous slowly turned and locked his yellowish serpentine eyes toward the frightened Imperial.

"What do you want?" He spat.

"Um—y-you told me t-to report to you the moment Hoth was in sight sir."

"And?"

"Hoth is in sight... sir."

Grievous growled in irritation as he quickly approached the horrified man and snatched him by the neck in his metallic grip.

"You think me so blind I do not realize the obvious?" Grievous growled.

The sudden sound of the command center hatch doors sliding open caused the entire room to face its direction. Slowly entering the room, a menacing figure clad in black entered. Her robes flowed behind her as she walked, her masked face providing a stone-cold impression while she observed the entire room. Grievous quickly threw the Imperial soldier down to the ground before kneeling to one robotic knee in her presence. When he looked up, he stared right into the masked face of the Emperor's fury: Darth Seraphina.

"What need you have for me General Grievous?" Seraphina asked, in a robotic voice.

"We are rapidly approaching the surface of Hoth, Darth Seraphina," Grievous responded. "Within moments, our troops will be on the ground ready to find the rebel base."

Seraphina looked up toward the gigantic window overlooking the frozen world. Three long years passed since the Battle of Yavin and the complete annihilation of the Death Star. Three years since she was abandoned, left for dead by those she thought she could trust. Three long years since...

NO!!!

She'd never allow herself to dwell on events of the past. No need to remember anything that's meaningless to her now. She merely turned back toward General Grievous.

"Take the Three Sisters and lead the search along the surface," She ordered. "Weed out the Rebels one by one if you must. Should you run across the targets I have ordered, just remember one thing: Twilight Sparkle is mine to kill."

Grievous bowed his head, acknowledging the lady Sith's command.

"Worry not Lady Seraphina," Grievous assured. "We will flush the rebel cowards out of hiding and destroy them all. Should we encounter any of your targets, we shall leave them to your will."

"Then I leave you to your invasion, General," She said. "I have other matters to attend to."

Seraphina nodded her head begore quickly turning her way out the command center. A personal entourage of Stormtroopers followed closely behind the dark lady as she made her way toward the shuttle hangar. Of course, the Infernus was her own personal flagship granted to her by her master. Yet she rarely bothered herself with matters of the war with the rebellion. She left the ship and the soldiers to Grievous and the Inquisitors. She only cared about one thing: Revenge. Until said time came to play, she had matters of her own to attend to. Boarding one of the shuttle transports, the pilot turned to her.

"Where shall we be bringing you today, my lady?" He asked.

"Korriban..."
