This is a made up story between Star Wars characters and Final Fantasy Online character ideas. I own none of the characters or world ideas in this story.
It had been only a few hours since their encounter, but for Ren, it felt like days. It was a new world, one that inhabited strange creatures, both sentient and non. The strangest ones were the Primals. The inhabitants of the planet called it Faerie. Ren found it to be an odd name, but now they knew the location of the planet, it was inevitable to draw it into the war. The First Order was quick to claim it as a part of their alliance; Faerie had no real choice though. Even in the planets current conflict, they as a whole quickly agreed to align with those who could easily destroy them. Their technology was very intriguing to Ren. Their flying ships were very basic and they had yet to venture to space. There was also this interesting power that some held. They could teleport between these things they called crystals. Many also used their powers for battle. Ren had seen force lightning, but the fearsome blazes that some of these beings could produce made him envious. There was one creature in particular he was very envious of, who called herself a Miqo'te. She had the most interesting eyes he had ever seen. They were two different colors and very cat like. They were not her only cat like feature though. She also had feline like ears, instead of normal human ears, as well as a tail. She was significantly shorter than he was. Many were shorter than he was, since he was 6'2, but she was barely 5 feet. Her looks were not what he was envious of thought, she was very powerful and was able to use this thing called magic. He was powerful in the force, but he craved her power. She was a very stubborn creature. While he could not offer to train her in the force, as it appeared she could not use it, he wanted to possess her magic for his own use. He had proposed that she come with him and further train on her hand to hand combat, but she flat out refused him, which annoyed him to no end. After his persuasion failed, he left her there. He wanted to capture her and just take her with him, but for some odd reason he decided against it. He would come back when he had more time to try to convince her to join him.
There was a loud banging at his door that awoke him. He looked at the time, it had just turned 3 am. He had his clock set on Takodana's time, since he liked to have a general time reference. The time was never the same since he traveled so much. Takodana was nothing important to him, it was a pretty planet, that was about it. He had picked it after a mission there that left him very exhausted. He had been exhausted because he had stayed up too late and had only 3 hours of sleep. So, while jumping through so many various places that had different times, it was nice to have a constant. The banging grew harder till Ren finally yelled, "This better be worth my time!" He rolled out of bed and pulled on a black tee shirt and pants. He debated putting on his full attire. On one hand, it helped him look more threatening. He didn't have a very threatening face, but then again, he was very tired and wanted to get back to sleep quickly. He decided to forgo his attire and settled for what he had put on. He walked through his living room and to the door on the other side. He unwillingly pressed the button that unlocked the door.
The ginger haired man smirked at him. "I hope I didn't interrupt your beauty sleep?" He walked past Ren, who glared at him, and made his way to the sofa.
"Why the fuck are you here?" Ren growled as the door shut behind him. He hated Hux. The man was overly annoying and pompous. Hux loved to aggravate Ren whenever he had the chance.
"I wanted to inform you that Snoke expects a report on the new planet before we reach our destination, which is in roughly 8 hours."
"You could not inform me after I woke up?" Ren spat. He wanted so badly to make Hux fly out of the room into the hallway of the Finalizer.
"Well have you made up the report? Or do you plan on just throwing it together last minute? I know you are a favorite of Snoke, but that doesn't mean you can just do a sloppy report"
"I was planning on getting a few more hours of sleep before I wrote up my report. You of all people should know how lack of sleep makes for sloppy work."
Hux narrowed his eyes at Ren. He had a point, but didn't want to admit it to the man he saw as a rival. "Well, I want to look over it before it is submitted to Snoke. To make sure it is worthy of his time of course."
"It will be, now if that is all, I am going back to bed. I will call for you when it is ready." With that Ren tipped the sofa to force Hux to get up.
When Ren finally awoke he had only a few more hours to complete his report. He cursed to himself, dreading the task. He loved to explore and fight, but he absolutely hated the final part of it all. He was not bad at creating a written report, but he just found it so unnecessary. He always gave Snoke a verbal report, so why did he need a written one too? He brought his hand to his face, tracing the scar that Rey had given him. He hated that girl, despite all she went through, she still ignorantly believed in the light. He hated ignorance, even more so than being rejected. It was one thing to not be knowledgeable about something if you are willing to be taught, he thought to himself. He to was once uninformed of his background, where he came from. Ren rolled out of bed and walked over to his desk in the living room. He let out a sigh, sat down, and got to work.
Hux was pacing back and forth in the cockpit. He was generally one to keep his cool, but something very important was missing. While they had reports and such of the new planet, somehow the samples taken did not make it on board. So updates to their information systems would be limited. He would not be punished for it thankfully, but he hated not having such vital information. Even after he made sure samples were carefully collected, it aggravated him that they were missing. Just as the peek of his annoyance was about to show, a storm trooper entered, informing Hux that Ren was on his way. He composed himself, not wanting Ren to see him flustered. Just as he managed to regain his composure the door opened, revealing the large masked man.
Ren strode over and shoved a datapad into Hux's face. "Here, you wanted to look over my work?" The voice was very mechanical and void of emotion. "I assure you it is through."
Hux gritted his teeth as he grabbed the data pad. He turned and walked to an empty seat without saying a word. Naturally, the report was not missing a thing. Despite his lack of military upbringing and formal training, Ren had been quick to adapt and learn, which frustrated Hux. "I see nothing wrong with this" he said as he handed the datapad to a storm trooper. "Make sure that is passed onto Snoke before Ren gives his verbal report"
"Yes Sir!" Replied the storm trooper as he saluted the General.
"If that is all, I will take my leave" Ren stated as he exited the room. He didn't even give Hux the opportunity to object. He needed to clear his mind. He didn't want Snoke to know that he desired this new creature he discovered on Faerie. Naturally he would not be able to hide her from him, but he could mask his desire for curiosity. It was a long walk back to his room, one Ren was use to making. The General made sure to keep him occupied, even when the task didn't warrant his attention. He waved his hand at the sensor as he approached the door. He didn't bother locking it for such a short time period. No one dared to enter without his permission. He walked over and pulled out a padded cushion from a storage compartment. He sat down on it and concentrated. He envisioned innocent curiosity towards the girl. He focused on her unusual characteristics he had never witnessed before. He pushed away his desire for her power, and replaced it with awe and excitement for their new discovery. Manipulating his emotions was something he had become good at. While Snoke never reprimanded him for his raw emotions, he did manipulate him with them. He had done so with his father. He had not truly wanted to kill him. While he could not say he loved the man, something about murdering his father left a bad taste in his mouth. While he said he felt freed, he had envisioned that feeling. He didn't want Snoke finding out he actually regretted it. He inhaled deeply, held it, and exhaled as he let all his desires fade away. He was calm, collected, and ready to face his master.
As he approached the door leading to where his master was, Ren reminded himself to not throw up any mental blocks. He didn't want Snoke to pry into every part of his mind to find what he was trying to hind. He stopped right before the door and waited until he was called upon. He felt very naked without his helmet.
Snoke could sense Ren's presence, "Come in my apprentice" he said coldly. Ren quickly entered, kneeled and bowed his head to his master. "So I read this new planet has some very interesting inhabitants. Tell me what you have experienced".
As Ren began to speek he envisioned standing there in awe. "It was a very informative experience. They don't seem to be that in tune with the force, but some use this thing called magic."
"Let me see" Snoke replied as he pushed into his apprentices mind. He saw before him spectacular beasts that could speak called Primals. Ren had only witnessed one, but heard of more through gossip of the locals. The beautiful land had been torn by something twisted that the people called the calamity. Finally he witnessed this magic that Ren had spoken of. He almost gasped as he felt the heat of the fire that she created while fighting. "Such Raw power, it is truly intoxicating. I can see why you find this world interesting."
He had not mentioned the girl, which Ren found relieving. He didn't dwell on it though. He knew his face would betray him. "It is, and with your permission I would like to return. Hux lost the samples he had gathered, so return is necessity, but I also wish to study the people. To see if this magic is connected to the force somehow." Ren knew it was not, he had already verified it, but he still envisioned it.
Snoke nodded, humming in agreement. "Yes, the sample incident was a rather clumsy mistake on Hux's part. I cannot afford to send out more people with the war as it is now." Ren felt a heavy ache in his chest as he heard those words. "If you wish to go alone though and gather these samples for Hux, as well as study your hypothesis, I will allow it. If I need you I can easily retrieve you, while others fight the Resistance."
Ren bowed again, controlling his excitement. He didn't want to make his Master suspect him. "Thank you Master. I will keep detailed records of my findings" With that Snoke waved for him to leave. Backing up Ren didn't turn until he was closer to the door. Once he was far enough away of Snokes chambers, he let out a sigh of relief and a huge grin spread across his face.
"Is that a smile I see?" Just as he had let his guard down, he heard the annoying voice of that ginger haired man.
"It is" Ren replied casually, trying to gain the upper hand. "You will remain here while I go gather your samples"
Hux's heart skipped a beat and he could feel the heat rising in his face. "You? Why would he allow you to return and not myself? It was my idea after all to gather physical samples"
"Well, considering you lost them, the Supreme Leader seems to find me more competent for the job"
Hux's teeth almost cracked from clenching his jaw at that response. "Very well, if those are his wishes." He turned away from Ren and walked off.
I hope you enjoy the first chapter. I am currently working on the second. I don't know if I will update on a schedule or not. I want to publish at least one chapter a week, if not more. I do have a week long vacation coming up on the 26th of this month, so I will not update during that period. This first chapter is very short. Kind of an introduction to the idea of the cross over. I would like some feed back on the length people generally like in chapters That way I can release content that will keep a persons attention without losing interest because the chapter was too long.
