Okay, so here goes the first chapter of the new and (hopefully) improved version of "Hunters of the Light"! Thank you, Guest, for your input. And thank you everyone else who gave their own suggestions on what to call this story!

[Que Star Wars Intro]

STAR WARS

The Force of the Hunt!

For Thousands of Centuries, before the JEDI, before the SITH, since the dawn of the galaxy, The FORCE existed. Many Orders have risen and fallen seeking to understand and/or control this mystical energy field. However, two such Orders stood the test of time. Each one was the side of a coin. The Jedi, who promoted peace, justice, and order, represented the 'Light'. And the Sith, advocates of power and self-service. Represented the 'Dark'.

Both sides clashed through the millenia with one another, seeking to destroy or at least defeat each other. Finally, after thousands of years. The Sith executed a plan to remove their opposition for control of the galaxy.

Order 66. This Order forced all affected Clone Troopers to turn on their Jedi Commanders. Effectively wiping out the Jedi Order save for a few sole suriving members.

This... is not their story. This is a story about one handsome young smuggler/treasure hunter named Jaune Arc. For he, is a keeper. And not like, 'yep, he's a keeper alright.' No, he's a Keeper. Of the Force. Think of him as a Grey Jedi. He just never was a member of the Jedi Order to begin with. Being self-taught in the ways of the Force, and acquiring vast knowledge, power, and wisdom beyond his years, Jaune has scoured the galaxy in search of ancient artifacts of great connection to the Force. And depending on the artifact, he either destroyed it, or kept it. To safegaurd it from those who would misuse such items of great power. Items like the Sword of Ajunta Pall, or the Robes of Qel Droma.

After many adventures, and making many friends and enemies, Jaune's newest adventure leads him beyond the Outer Rim and deep into Unknown Space. All the way to the little world of Remnant...

TO THE STORY!

Jaune Arc, a blonde young man a few days shy of being 17 years old, prepped the coordinates for the location that the Force has given him. His visions told him of a planet, blue and green. Enveloped in an ancient darkness. There, he would be needed in destroying this evil before the New Galactic Empire's two Dark Lords, Vader and Sidious, can find it. In their possesion, these things would spread terror and havoc across the galaxy. Great black beasts of shadow and hate. Leaving all they cross to a very grim fate.

Thankfully, the Force was kind enough to share with Jaune visions of his future allies. Humans and people like humans, yet they had animal parts to themselves. Not unlike a few members of Jaune's crew. Some of the locals of this planet appeared to train from a very young age to fight these monsters. Using strange crystals infused with the elements. A fascinating thing.

The stars outside began to blur together as Jaune's ship, 'The Barhdia' entered lightspeed. Soon, Jaune felt a pull. A call. Towards his bed. 'Everyone else should be asleep right now. I guess I should follow their lead.' His thoughts drifted off towards his crew, all outcasts like himself. Perhaps this new world could be their new home. Oh well, sleep is what he needed now. And as soon as his head hit the pillow, he was out like a light.

Jaune awoke to feel his ship lurch out of hyperspace. Getting up, he left his personal quarters to look out the cockpit's window. Yep. That's the planet. Blue and green with a shattered moon. It was a sight to behold. As he continued to study the planet, he heard a voice. "Good morning, Cap! Breakfast is ready!" He smiled at the sound of the cheerful female voice. "Thanks CV, I assume everyone else is awake and already eating?" Jaune asked his ship's AI. "Indeed, they are! Better hurry, some of them are REALLY hungry this morning!"

CV-03, an ancient AI that Jaune had found during his travels nearly four years ago. During that time, Jaune was part of a smuggler's crew and was seperated from them on some old desert planet. Left to fend for himself as the bounty hunter finished off the rest of the crew as well as their ship, Jaune went into hiding in some caves. There, he found this ship and met CV-03. Or, as Jaune sometimes called her, Seevie. The two became friends as he explored the ancient and abandoned ship. And, using parts from his former crew's former ship. Jaune followed CV's instructions to get 'The Barhdia' flying again. They've been treasure hunting and smuggling (for good causes, like a Space-Age Robin Hood) ever since.

Jaune made his way to the ship's dining hall where the rest of Jaune's crew was having breakfast. Several members of the crew stopped what they were doing to give Jaune his now usual 'Daily Goodmorning Service'. Aka, glomping time! The young man braced himself for his crews unusual habit of trying to cling to his body as tightly as physically possible. It was a wonder that he was still alive.

Underneath all the blue feathers, blue slime, and red scales, the rest of the crew could here their captain's audible sigh as he struggled to get back up. He knew they wouldn't get off of him until he gave them a "good morning" as well. "Good morning Miia, Papi, and Suu." He patted each girl on the head as he said her name. As he did so, he heard the sound of hooves against the metal floor.

"How many time's must I tell you? If you three keep it up, Master will get hurt one of these days." Jaune could see clearly now that he wasn't being held down by Miia the Lamia, Papi the Harpy, and Suu the Slime. They all meant well, it was just their way of showing their appreciation for him. Still, they didn't have to be so rough... Before Jaune could release a sigh of relief, his vision (and breathing room) was once again stolen from him. Via a stong pair of arms wrapping around his head and pulling him into two big soft sacks of fluff. Second time today for a near-death experience by boobage.

Squirming his head around so he could face his captor, Jaune was finally free to breathe. And see. "I am sorry, Master, I have failed you yet again by failing to stop those three from tackling you once more..." Centorea, the Centaur. Or, as Jaune was allowed to call her, Cerea. "It's fine Cerea, I don't mind. Now, how about you let me go so I can eat? Hmm?" And just on que, Jaune's stomache let out a fearsome growl. The blonde half horse, half-woman released Jaune in a hurry. Almost throwing him in embarresment. "I'M SORRY!"

Jaune sighed and shook his head. Still not used to the craziness of his crew. Turning around, he was greeted with the sight of six red eyes staring at him. Unsurprised, Jaune waved. "Morning to you too, Rachnera." The six eyed, busty, white haired, half-spider woman blushed, but then recovered. "Good morning to you too, Honey." Jaune then sat himself down at a table across from the latest addition to the crew. "Hey Lala." The blue woman was drinking her morning tea. "And to you, Mortal." To an outsider, the sight of a woman with her head removed from her shoulders and placed on the table while her body poured a hot drink through the neck would be unsettling.

To Jaune, however, it was pretty normal now. He's seen enough crazy stuff that something as strange as this would be no problem. Jaune turned his gaze to the left to greet Mero, a mermaid Jaune had saved and recruited. "Morning." He greeted. The girl nodded. "And to you as well, Master." The whole 'Master' thing that half these girls had going on for him was unsettling at first. But, it stuck. Now, it barely registers in the boy's mind.

Jaune began to eat his meal as he informed the girls of what was going on. "Alright everyone, right now, we are oribiting an unknown planet that the Force has drawn me to. We'll be landing in about in a forest in about an hour. We're going to be laying low for a while. So get ready to repel any intruders, since I'll be going to look for a local to help us get settled in. If they look like black monsters with bone growing out of them, destroy them. If they look like people, try to scare them off or something. Just don't kill them. Okay?" He directed his crew, each member nodded. "Okay, feel free to go outside, just stay within sight of the ship. And Papi?"

The blue bird-girl stood at attention. "Yes, Master?" Jaune's face became serious. "No flying, except in emergencies. Got it?" She looked sad. And Jaune felt bad, but it had to be done, he didn't want any unnecessary attention to any of the girls. Papi in particular since she was extremely vulnerable to armsfire. Her lack of hands prevented her from using ranged weapons. "Got it." She answered.

"Okay, then. Everyone, let's get ready." Jaune finished up his meal as everyone went their seperate ways thoughout the ship. "Seevie?" Jaune said aloud. "Yes, Captain?" She asked. "Keep an eye on everyone. Alert me if something goes wrong." The image of an attractive pink haired female humanoid appeared on a screen in the dining hall. She gave a mock salute and spoke up. "Yessir!" And dissappeared.

That meant it was time for Jaune to get his stuff together. An hour later, the ship had landed and he was dressed in his usual beskar armor and hoodie. A blaster rifle on his back, a vibro-dagger on the back of his waist, two blaster pistols strapped to his thighs, and finally the two parts to his lightsaber on his hips. The loading ramp opened up and sunlight poured in. The green forest was alive with the Force as Jaune took his first steps forwards...

AAAAAANNNNNNDDDDD CHAPTER!

Again, thank you to everyone who gave me potential names for this story. It took a bit for me to decide, but in the end, this one one. Don't worry! I'll probably be using the other names for chapter titles.

Sorry for the shortness, but I have a few things I need to take care of in RL. I do, in fact, still have a job and college to do.

And oh boy oh boy oh boy... The poll for whether you guys and/or gals want a Destiny x RWBY and/or Halo x RWBY crossover is over. It resulted in a tie for either both, and the 'Polite' Niether. As a result, I tallied up the semi-rude niether together with the 'Polite' one for a total of 12 votes on NO MORE! Then, I tallied the yes's for individual Halo and individual Destiny with the 'Both' option for a total of 18. So, guess what?

All you beautiful motherfuckers are getting both!

BYE!

P.S. I'm more of a Destiny Fan. So yeah... This is probably gonna suck for all of us... Expect the Destiny one to have more frequent updates than the Halo one. Plus it will probably have higher quality storytelling. Again, I'm sorry in advance.

P.P.S. I know it's a little early, but... HAPPY BIRTHDAY RUBY!
