Hello, everyone! It's I, Katierosefun! I'm a major Star Trek/Star Wars geek and so...I decided to mash 'em up together! I've had this idea for a while now...back in the sweet, summer days. (Then again, I like autumn and winter better than spring and summer...) It's taken a while to write the first chapter of this cross-over with all of the introductions and such. However, I'm not afraid to admit that I'm a bit worried over the popularity of this story...I honestly do NOT want this story to be abandoned, but it will be so unless I've reached a certain amount of views, reviews, follows/faves and then I'll deem it safe to explore this unknown territory. XD However, you, (the reader,) will be the judge of that. Thank you for taking the time to read this note and read on for the very first chapter! :)
Chapter 1. The Meetings
Jim Kirk—
"Sulu, why aren't we at warp?" I shouted, grabbing the ends of the chair, my knuckles white from clenching so hard.
"We are, sir." Chekov tells me, his fingers working furiously on the screen in front of him.
For a split second, I felt fear and panic spreading throughout my chest. This experience was too much like the last time we were almost sucked into a black hole, only we somehow managed to push ourselves away from it in the nick of time with Scotty's help.
Only this time, we were in far worse shape.
The black hole had appeared out of nowhere and it was slowly sucking us in. I grit my teeth and shouted, "Scotty, can you—"
"No, Jim, lad, I'm sorry, I can't!" Scotty's voice was filled with fear and panic. I could practically hear him running around the lower decks of the ship and the entire crew turned around to face me.
"Well, guys. This is it…" I said, taking a shuddery breath. "I'm sorry."
And we were sucked in.
◦•◦
Bzzt.
I startled and opened my eyes just in time to see a green light shining in my eyes. I frowned and tried blinking the yellow spots out of my eyes and managed to look up just a bit.
"Who are you and what are you doing here?!" A female's voice asks harshly from above me.
I blinked and managed to catch sight of a red-orange skinned girl standing behind the light that was shining into my eyes. I could feel the heat pulsating in the light and had the idea that it wouldn't be smart for me to suddenly dive forward.
The female had white facial markings on her face, as well as blue and white striped…well, I didn't know what to call them…little head-tails? I don't know.
A braid with small, decorative beads hung from one of the tail-objects and I finally said, "I'm Captain James T. Kirk of the USS Enterprise, who are you?"
The girl scowled. "The USS Enterprise? What?" She asks. "You do realize that you're in a war zone, right?"
"A war zone?" I asked blankly. "We're not in Klingon space, are we?"
"Klingon?" The girl frowns and suddenly, the green light goes out. I watched as she places a silver, cylinder-like object at her belt and she crossed her arms, her blue eyes scanning my face curiously.
"You don't know what Klingons are? Someone's had a happy childhood." I muttered under my breath. The girl glared at me, her hands at her hips. "You've never heard of the war?" She asks me, her eyes narrowed. "Just what are you?"
"Captain, are you alright?" I heard Spock's calm voice asking as he slowly sits up from his station. Besides looking a bit disgruntled, he appeared to be perfectly calm despite the fact that there was a man pointing some sort of blue blade at his eyes.
"I'm fine, Mr. Spock." I muttered and slowly stood up. The girl's eyes remained at my face and she says, "I want to know what you're really doing here…you're lucky that we didn't tear you apart right away."
I narrowed my eyes at the girl and stood up. I was easily taller than her but she as she tilts her face to look up at me, I could see a dangerous glint in her eyes to tell me that she wasn't one to be messed with. I smirked. She was actually something to look at, whatever she is…
"Stop your smiling and get talking." The girl says. I blinked and then said, "Who are you?"
"Ahsoka Tano." The girl replies, her voice cold. "And just to let you know, your…ship is surrounded by the Republic's best fleet, so don't try anything funny."
I snorted. "Do I look like I want to do something funny?" I asked incredulously. In a flash, Ahsoka's green blade was activated and she points it at me again. "Yes." She snarls.
"Glad we got that out of the way…" I muttered.
"Don't try me." Ahsoka says harshly.
"Easy now, Ahsoka." An accented voice says from behind me and I turned my head around to look at the person who spoke. I came face to face with an older, red-bearded man with gentle, if anything, tired, grey-blue eyes.
"They haven't proven anything wrong yet." The man says and Ahsoka glared. "But Master Kenobi, they might be dangerous! How many times have you—"
"We've simply started off on the wrong foot." The man says firmly.
The other man who was pointing his weapon at Spock snorted. "Of course we did, Obi-wan." He mutters, rolling his blue eyes.
"Yes, we did." The man called Obi-wan shot back.
I caught eyes with Spock and furtively tapped the phaser that was strapped onto our belts, which, for some reason, had not been taken away.
My first officer doesn't move or nod his head in acknowledgement. Instead, he gives me a blank stare but the glint in his eye told me that he understood.
I heard a couple of other members from the bridge groaning as they sat up. Ahsoka activates another blade, only this one was a yellower shade than her first weapon.
"Stand down." She says, her voice ringing with authority.
Uhura lets out a small moan and she rubbed her temples. "What happened?" She mumbles groggily. "Where are we?"
"That's what I'd like to know…Spock, now!" I shouted and ducked out of the way as Ahsoka brought her blade dangerously close to my neck.
I backed myself up to the wall and activated my phaser to stun. I sent the first shot at Ahsoka, and she raises her blade. I expected the bullet to go straight through the blade, but instead, it deflects and hits one of the walls. It leaves a smoking mark and I shouted, "What is that thing?!"
"Idiots!" The man who was guarding Spock growls. I felt an invisible force shove me into the wall and I gasped, caught off guard.
"Anakin, stop!" The man called Obi-wan says indignantly.
The companion—Anakin—pauses and scowled, dropping his hand reluctantly to his side. I stood up shakily and asked, "What was that? It was almost like…like something was controlling me!"
Obi-wan chuckles. "Not quite." He says and extended a hand. "I apologize for my friends…they tend to be rather hostile towards newcomers."
"Especially newcomers who appear in the middle of nowhere!" Ahsoka snaps, her arms crossed.
I stuck my tongue out at her and she blinks, surprised and her frown deepened.
"What's going on?" I asked at last to Obi-wan. He seemed to be the friendliest out of the three, and honestly, I didn't want to be shoved into another wall or get threatened by some hyperactive girl who thought she could boss around everyone.
"You, like Ahsoka has said, were in the middle of a warzone. Separatist ships were firing everywhere and well…you could imagine our shock when a different ship just blasted out of space." Obi-wan replies.
"Separatists…?" I muttered.
Anakin smirks and says, "Obi-wan don't even bother telling him. He wouldn't understand, I can tell."
I snapped my head towards Anakin. "Who says?" I challenged, stepping up to him.
He was around my height, and our eyes glared right at each other. His irises were blue like mine, but were filled with a very cold determination, as though he wouldn't be afraid to snap a man's neck if he was given permission.
My eyes scanned up and down his figure. He had brown hair that tumbled down to his eyebrows and his arms were crossed, mirroring my position and stature. I spotted black gloves covering up both of his hands but one glove was slightly larger and more irregular looking than the other.
A scar ran down one of Anakin's eyes and his stare didn't break.
Neither did mine.
"Stay away from my crew." I hissed.
"Stay away from my friends." Anakin snapped back.
I felt Ahsoka and Obi-wan's eyes trained on us and then Ahsoka whispers, "Should we do something?"
I heard Obi-wan chuckle and he replies, "Oh, no…I'm curious to see what happens."
I was too annoyed to even look at the pair and growled, "Get off my ship."
"Not without answers first." Anakin replies coldly.
"Captain, may I be of assistance?" Spock's calm voice breaks the cold air between us and I finally looked over to him.
I cleared my throat and turned to Obi-wan and Ahsoka, who were giving him a curious look.
"This is Commander Spock, my first officer." I said gruffly and the Vulcan simply nods.
Ahsoka frowns and tilts her head to the side, her eyes narrowed in curiosity and obvious distrust. "Are your ears supposed to be pointy?" She finally asked.
I couldn't help it—I snickered. Despite the seriousness of the situation, it seemed impossible for me to not smile at Spock's reaction, which included a blank expression and a blink.
"I am a Vulcan." Spock says, stiff as always. "It is normal for our ears to be…pointed at the tips. What are you, I may ask?"
Ahsoka smirks and asks, "What, you've never seen a Togruta before?"
I frowned and turned to the girl. "A what?" I asked.
Ahsoka's mouth dropped open. "You're kidding, right?" She asks incredulously. "Where have you been this entire time? Were you living under a rock?"
"Ahsoka, don't be rude…" Obi-wan says warningly.
I turned to Uhura, who was watching Ahsoka carefully. "Do you have any idea what she's talking about?" I asked her helplessly. "No." My friend replies and she stands up.
"Interesting…I've never heard of your kind before." Uhura says slowly.
Ahsoka raises an eye marking and she placed her hands at her hips. "Let's make this simple, shall we? I'm a Togruta and they are one of the many species of the galaxy. Does that make it easier to understand?" She asks flatly.
I turned to Spock, who remained still and calm. I could almost see the wheels turning in his head.
"Keptain!" Chekov shouts and Ahsoka flinches as the young navigator awakes.
"It's okay, Chekov, we're…out of the hole." I muttered.
"Ah…" Chekov says slowly and he stood up, his wide, intelligent eyes wandering around the bridge. He frowns when he sees Ahsoka and his face paled. "Keptain, is she…?" He stammers, pointing at Ahsoka.
I sighed but smiled. "Yes, Chekov, there's an actual alien girl standing in front of you and yes, we have never known her species before. But that's okay, because we might all be going crazy at the moment." I said in a cheerful voice.
"That's a nice note to wake up to…" Sulu mumbled as his own eyes opened.
I smirked. "Just doing my duty, Sulu." I said.
"Now that we all know each other—" Anakin begins, annoyance trickling into his voice but the doors hiss open behind us and Leonard McCoy—Bones—walks in.
"The entire sickbay is a mess right now, Jim! Do you have any idea how many sedition hypos I needed to inject in these guys?! It's crazy, I'm telling you! Do you think we'll get—oh." Bones stopped short and his eyes widened.
"Who are these guys? How the hell did they get on board?" He asks.
I rubbed my eyes wearily and said, "Bones, meet Ahsoka, Obi-wan, and Anakin…who held these stupid things to my neck until everyone had a proper introduction and argument."
"Name's McCoy." Bones says, nodding to the trio.
Ahsoka gives my friend a halfhearted smile and Anakin simply grunts. Obi-wan smiled and says, "It's a pleasure to meet you."
Bones gave me a quick glance and mouths, 'How…?'
I shook my head and slapped my hands together. "Now that we all know each other…can you please get off my ship so we can make some repairs?" I asked flatly.
Anakin raised an eyebrow. "What kind of repairs?" He asks me suspiciously. I sighed. "Just simple warping systems…" I muttered. "As usual."
"Warping systems?" Ahsoka asks.
I opened my mouth to give an incredulous reply but shook my head again. "Never mind." I said at last.
"Did you see Scotty before you came here?" I asked Bones, who was standing with his arms crossed. "As a matter of fact, I did. He's fine, just shaken up." He tells me. "He's working on it now."
I grinned. "Good ol' Scotty." I said cheerfully, feeling hope arise again. Maybe we could all get out of this.
"Not so fast." Ahsoka says, watching me carefully. "How did you guys come here? We never got a real answer."
"Black hole…ever heard of one?" I asked. Ahsoka bit on her lip. "A black hole? Why were you even—" She begins to ask and I blew out a puff of breath. "Don't bother asking, it's all confusing and complex." I said. Ahsoka put her hands on her hips. "You don't know anything, do you? I'm used to confusing and complex!" She says indignantly.
"Hold on, Snips, not everyone is born with book-smarts." Anakin says quietly and I narrowed my eyes at him. I wasn't quite sure if I admired him or found him annoying. Anakin narrowed his eyes right back at me and Obi-wan clears his throat.
"Captain…Kirk, isn't it?" Obi-wan asks. "As much as I do not wish to create an argument, Ahsoka and Anakin are correct. You may not realize it just yet, but we are at war. As soon as the Separatist fleets fled, your ship came and we held our fire. Right now, there are torpedoes locked onto your ship as we speak."
I rubbed my temples. "Look, we don't have time for this. I can assure you, I am not on any…Separatist side of the war. We're just lost, and about to return home." I said confidently.
"Captain?" The comm at the chair buzzed and I pressed on the speaker. "Yes, Scotty? Did you have any luck?" I asked.
"Ehm…no, sir. You might want to get a look at this." The engineer replies nervously.
I swallowed. "I'll be right there, Scotty." I replied and shut off the comm. I turned to Sulu. "Sulu, take control, will you?" I asked. He nods and I walked out of the bridge.
I felt Anakin, Ahsoka and Obi-wan following me and Spock and Bones walked briskly beside me on each side.
"Who are these guys?" Bones mutters in my ears. "I don't know, and I don't think we really want to find out." I replied wearily.
◦•◦
Ahsoka Tano—
I watched the backs of Jim Kirk and 'Bones' McCoy warily. They were whispering things to each other and I could tell from the expressions on their faces that it was nothing too good.
"Will you two just spit it out already? We all know that apparently you guys aren't from here…might as well blurt out whatever thought you have now." I said, crossing my arms. Jim Kirk turned to me, his eyes flashing defiantly at me and says, "I'm just leading you guys to my chief engineer. If there's one person who can even remotely understand how the hell we got here, it's him. And besides," he turned back around. "I don't like to repeat things twice."
I scowled at the back of his head and turned to Anakin, who was staring right ahead. We were all tired and worn out, but when this ship came out of nowhere, it was irresistible to not check it out and see if they were a part of this war or not.
Master Kenobi was walking on my other side and we were all silent as we headed down to what appeared to be the lower levels of the ship.
There, a man in a red shirt was running around, muttering things under his breath and every so often working onto a computer.
"Mister Scott!" Jim says cheerfully, walking up behind him. The older man—Scotty—looks up tiredly from the computer and says, "The entire system is fried! We can't get any power from the warp system!" Jim frowned. "Can't you fix it? We've been in rough situations before, Scotty." He says.
Scotty shook his head and says, "For this sort of problem, we'd need a wee bit more than our regular luck to pull this off. And to return home…Jim, we need to get back into that same black hole."
Jim's face fell and he mutters, "I was hoping that you wouldn't say that…"
Scotty sighed and says, "It's 'appening, Jim. And besides, even if the black hole did open just about now, we wouldn't be stable enough to go through!" I watched as Jim rubbed his temples and says, "There's supposed to be a black hole in every goddamn galaxy…why isn't there one in this one?"
"I've got the feeling that our galaxy is a bit different than yours…"Anakin muttered halfheartedly under his breath. If Jim heard my master, he didn't acknowledge. Instead, he simply ran a hand through his blond, cropped hair and asked, "How much longer do you think we'll be stuck here?"
"Can't tell. Perhaps a couple of days, weeks…" Scotty guessed, rubbing his sweaty forehead with a sleeve. Disappointment was glazing itself over Jim's blue eyes but he managed a small smile and patted the older man on the back. "Just work on it." He said simply and without a word, he looped out of the room.
◦•◦
I leaned against the wall of the bridge and watched the crew of the Enterprise listen attentively to Jim's words and announcements that he delivered.
"It has been determined by our chief engineer that with our ship's state, we may not be able to move anywhere…not just yet, anyways." Jim was saying quietly. "Apparently, there's also the situation in which when we return home, we'll need to cross over into another black hole which may damage the ship further."
The entire bridge was silent and then Jim continues when no comments were uttered. "Therefore, the only thing we can do now is try to help out the best we can and sit tight." He clasped his hands behind his back and gave a simple nod to the crew. "Carry on."
With some worried murmurs being sent around the room, Jim turned his back to them and he looks over at us. "Well…there you have it. We're not looking for any war; we're just trying to get home safely." He says tiredly.
I placed my hands on my hips and said, "Fine, then. Now, if you'll excuse us, we'll get back to our own problems." I made a movement to turn on my heel and walk out of the bridge, but Master Kenobi stops me with a hand. "Perhaps we can help you." He says slowly.
Anakin and my reactions were immediate. Both of our eyes widened and I felt the urge to allow my mouth to drop but had a bit more maturity than to do so. For a moment, we were all silent and then Anakin mutters through gritted teeth, "Master? May I speak to you for a minute?"
"Of course, Anakin." Master Kenobi replies lightly and I watched them walk swiftly away. Jim looks over at me and he says, "It's not necessary."
I crossed my arms and said, "Let's get this straight—I didn't give any gesture like this towards you or your crew. Lucky for you, Master Kenobi can be…negotiable in times like these. But just because he might let you in doesn't mean that everyone else will."
Jim lifted his hands with a small smirk on his face. "What's with the defense? We've known each other for not even an entire day and already you're acting as though I'm a criminal."
I narrowed my eyes at him. One moment, he acts sober and says that he'd do anything for his crew and the next moment, he's turned into some sort of cocky, immature young man who knows how to play with one's mood as well as a pirate does with a customer.
Before I can shoot back an answer, however, both masters walk back into the bridge. I turned my head an inch of a fraction to look at Anakin, whose face was clouded with anger and annoyance. His arms were folded across his chest and he moved protectively in front of me, his eyes just as cold as Jim's when they looked at each other. I had the unsettling feeling that he had overheard our conversation.
Master Kenobi, on the other hand, looked completely unruffled and if anything, somewhat pleased. "We are willing to extend a helping hand towards you and your crew. We might be able to somehow drag your ship with us back to Coruscant. It may prove to be difficult, judging from the size of this vessel…" His voice drifted slightly as his eyes travelled around the already-large room but smiles gently. "But we will help the best we can."
"Thank you, sir." Jim replied, his hands clasped behind his back. Anakin grunted and he walked out of the bridge, his pace taut and filled with tense energy at every step. I mirrored his movements and flung a glare at Jim before exiting the bridge.
He replied my glares with a simple smirk and a cheery wave.
Dumbfounded by his sudden change of attitude, I shook my head and turned my attention back to getting off of this large heap of futuristic junk that these people called a compatible ship.
A/N: Now, if ya'll have read any of my other stories, you'd know that I like to do something epic known as...THE (IN)FAMOUS CHARACTER RANTS IN WHICH I-
Jim: You don't need an introduction...you already gave one at the top of this page. -_-
Me: But I like introductions!
Jim: You've written too many. Just get to the point!
Me: Someone woke up on the wrong side of bed today...-_-
Jim: Get off my case. I've already had Bones commenting on that and I do NOT need anymore metaphors. *storms out of the room*
Me: Sheesh. What's his deal?
Leonard: ...what did he say before? "Never trust a Vulcan."
Me: ...ah.
Ahsoka: HELLO!
Leonard: *falls out of chair* Don't do that, damn it!
Ahsoka: *crosses arms* I can't help it...it's funny taking advantage of you.
Leonard: Just because you can sneak up on someone doesn't mean that you have to!
Ahsoka: *inspects nails* You've got a lot to learn...
Leonard: Me?! I'm older than you!
Ahsoka: *smiles evilly before bouncing away*
Me: You should be scared.
Leonard: ...she-demon...
Ahsoka: *throws a book promptly from another room*
Leonard: OW!
Ahsoka: *giggles*
Obi-wan: Now, now, Ahsoka, that's not very nice.
Anakin: GOOD SHOT! XD
Ahsoka: I know, right?! :)
Obi-wan: Anakin, as her master, you should not be encouraging this sort of behavior towards-
Anakin: ...*throws book at Obi-wan*
Obi-wan: *ducks*
Ahsoka: *giggles hysterically*
Obi-wan: ANAKIN!
Anakin: XD
Me: ...Anakin, do the review notice.
Anakin: *moans* Why? Can't Jim do it? He probably deserves it more than me!
Obi-wan: That's debatable...
Leonard: *snorts*
Anakin: No one asked you, Obi-wan!
Me: Just do it...
Anakin: *sighs* Fine. Please review, give feedback, no hate and...*throws a book at Obi-wan*
Obi-wan: *ducks* ANAKIN!
Anakin: ...and now I run.
Me: *sighs* 'Till next time, everyone! :)
