Chapter 1
Hello everyone! Welcome to the very first chapter of "A Remnant Echo"! Now, I wanna get a few things out of the way first.
First of all, this will take place after Echo, aka CT-1409 (or CT-14-0408) (I'm such a nerd… :L), was presumed to be dead. I cannot remember what episode it was, but it takes place somewhere after that. And no, Echo isn't dead. At all. You can even look it up. He's even shown in an unreleased episode called "A Distant Echo".
This will also be in Echo's POV.
This universe is slightly different from the RWBY canon, so you could call it an AU. In the future for the most part. Except, the Battle of Beacon was won (instead of everyone retreating), there were no casualties, no major damage was done, and Cinder was defeated. This also takes place 1 year after team RWBY graduated and became Huntresses.
I also get all my information from both the Star Wars: The Clone Wars and RWBY wiki. And from what I already know.
This is also not going to be the final title of this story. If I ever think of something better, I'll definitely replace the current name with the new one.
AND THIS WILL CONTAIN SPOILERS. IF YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED UP TO SEASON 3, EPISODE 19 OF STAR WARS, CLICK AWAY. Anyways, enough rambling and onto the story itself.
I do not own RWBY or Star Wars: The Clone Wars in any way, shape, or form. If I had… Well… Idk.
All I heard before I was sucked into a red vortex of some kind, was an explosion and Fives shouting something.
"Echo!" Fives shouted.
When I was sucked in, everything around me faded.
"I… did it..." I whispered.
The last thing I saw before blacking out, was the red vortex with the wreckage of the shuttle and the blaster turret.
===Approximately 3 Minutes Later===
"Ah!" I shouted.
I seemed to be in an infirmary of some kind. I wasn't wearing my Phase II prototype armor, but instead in mint colored clothing of some kind. I looked around and only saw a window and some chairs and a door. I also found my armor on the chairs
"I need answers..." I said to myself.
I got out of the bed I was in and unplugged the wires connected to my arms and chest. I went over to the chairs and had a look at my armor.
It was scorched badly and even parts of it were broken. The black body glove under it all had some of the parts of it burnt off.
"I wonder what Fives and the captain's doing..." I murmured.
"Tell me, who's Fives?" A voice said.
I jumped in surprised, grabbed my DC-15S blaster and aimed it at the door. I saw a boy who was mostly dressed in black and had small highlights of blue on his clothing and hair. He also looked nothing like a clone, which got me curious.
The boy seemed no older than 23. He also had some kind of sword on his side which had… a gun mixed into it?
"Woah, woah, woah!" The boy exclaimed. "Easy there!"
"Ugh..." I groaned. "What is your ID, Trooper? And where is your armor?"
"What?" The boy asked. "I'm not a Trooper? And my armor is at where I live…? And you still haven't answered my question."
"What are you? Some Separatist spy come to finish me off?" I snapped.
"Look, I have no clue what you are talking about. Honest. I just found you in an alleyway unconscious. You also looked pretty beat up." The boy explained. "Now can you answer my question?"
"How can I trust you?" I asked.
"I don't know." The boy admitted, looking out the window. "But you're pretty unique. There aren't others with that armor that I know of. Not even Atlas has that kind of armor.
Now, lots of people say that same thing to me. I seem like a shady figure, especially with the amount of black I'm always wearing. But just because you always wear black doesn't mean you're some shady figure who wants to kill everyone. And as far as I know, I haven't killed a single person. I've only hurt, but only when it was necessary. And don't worry, I won't hurt you at all.
But trust is a hard thing to earn from someone you just met. And I don't blame them. You never know what one person really was instead of what that person really is. You don't have to answer my questions and I can just leave right now." The boy was making his way to the door.
"Wait!" I shouted. "I have a question for you. Where am I? And what is Atlas?"
"I'll keep this short and simple. You're on Remnant. Most specifically, Vale. There are 3 other kingdoms; Mistral, Vacuo, and Mantle, also known as Atlas. And like I said, Atlas is a kingdom that's very… What's the word… Advanced? Anyways, Atlas has an army called the Atlesian military, which is considered the strongest out of all of us. Like your armor, they wear some kind of armor that covers their body. So that's why I went to Atlas to check it out." The boy said. "Now can you answer my question?"
"I don't have a choice, do I?" I asked. "Fives was one of my comrades, with armor like mine, but with different printings. We are both ARC Troopers, also known as Advanced Recon Commando Troopers. There are also many others. There are also more Troopers besides ARC Troopers. We are also referred to as Clone Troopers, because all of us are clones."
"Mhm..." The boy said. "Well it was nice meeting you… Erm..."
"CT-1409, once known as CT-21-0408. I'm called Echo." I said.
"Well, nice to meet you Echo. I'm Etheral." The boy, Etheral said. "But I'm curious, what are you gonna do now?"
"I don't know… I need to get back to where I am supposed to be." I said. "Fives and the others probably think I'm dead by now."
"Well, get in your armor." Etheral said. "We're gonna need to get that armor repaired… What is it even made of?"
"I really don't know..." I admitted. "They never really told us what kind this armor was made of."
"I'm sure we can improvise." Etheral said. "But the real question is, where will you stay for the night? I doubt you even have any Lien on you, and the hospital only lets you stay when you're seriously injured, and you can leave once you're better. But you seem to be in shape..."
We sat there and thought for a moment.
"Tell you what." Etheral said, reaching into his pocket. "Don't bother to repay me, but this should be enough to get you a hotel room for one night."
He took some kind of cards out of his pocket and held it out.
"This is the currency of all the kingdoms. It's called Lien." Etheral explained. "This should also be enough to get you a fair meal alongside the room. I'll show you the best hotel for this situation. I'll be outside, so take your time."
Etheral walked out and I looked at my things. I took the clothing off and went into the body glove. There were a few holes, but most of them can be covered up by the armor. I put the armor itself on and went outside with my blaster in hand.
I saw him waiting outside while leaning against the wall.
"Alright," Etheral said. "Let's go."
Etheral began walking and I followed. We exited the building and I got to look around.
The landscape was nothing I have seen before. There were trees with some kind of green things on them and green grass. Some kind of liquid was also dropping down from the sky, while the sky itself was dark and black.
The ground was also mostly black and we seemed to be in some docking bay of some kind. Except there were no gunships.
This is gonna be a difficult world to get used to… I thought to myself.
"Echo?" Etheral called.
I looked up and saw him further away from me. I realized I had been staring at the environment for too long.
"You're clearly not comfortable being in this environment." Etheral said. "How about you tell me on the way to the hotel?"
"Alright." I said, walking up to him.
We continued to walk while I talked about where I was bred and the last place I was at.
"I was first born on Kamino." I started. "Well, bred. I'm just a clone. We're specially bred to fight a war. To use blasters. To obey Jedi. And the Jedi are a group of people who fight for a good cause. Not all are human though. They're all different races.
The landscape we fought at were mostly the opposite of this landscape. Usually, they were more like wastelands instead of this. Some places were even in ruins. Our home place is really… watery. It's raining all the time, and there's a giant ocean below where we were bred.
The most recent planet, yes, planet, I was on was Lola Sayu. We were gonna rescue a Jedi, but we got into a bad situation. Bunches of droids, which are just robots that fight for the Separatists, came at us and we took most of them down. One of them began to fire at our shuttle with a laser cannon. I ran in there with a shield and my blaster, and the ship got blown up. I lost my helmet, but that wasn't all. Right when the explosion happened, a red vortex sucked me in, and I wound up in this world."
"Hmm..." Etheral hummed. "The vortex isn't a surprise. Ever since me and my sister both graduated from Beacon, there has been red vortexes appearing a lot. They usually bring strange items, but never living beings… We'll find a way for you to get back, I hope. Oh, and here we are."
We stopped in front of a giant structure which was made of some kind of bricks. It also had windows.
"Just go up to the front desk, give them this much-" He took 3 of the 5 Lien cards. "-and give them that. They'll give you a room. The food court will be to the left, so I recommend going there after getting your key." Etheral explained. "Meet me over there-" He pointed to a platform that was in the distance. "-in the morning. I have to go now. I'll see you tomorrow morning." Etheral made his way down the sidewalk.
I went inside the building and went up to the desk.
"Hello there," The lady at the desk said. "How may I help you?"
"Er, I would like to get a room. Just for the night." I said.
"Okay. That will be 900 Lien." The lady said.
I took the 3 cards that Etheral gave to me and handed it over to the lady. She took it and grabbed a key.
"Here you go!" The lady said, handing over a key. "Enjoy your stay!"
I went over to the food court and looked around. I grabbed a dish and went over to the food. And I must say. There was a huge variety of food.
I'm not gonna go into details of what there was. But I did get a soup with (what I'm sure are called) vegetables in it and some bread in the form of rolls. I sat down and drank the soup. I looked around and only found a girl and a boy. Nothing really surprising. I decided to use the Comm on my arm, only to find out that it had been demolished. I sighed and went back to drinking my soup. After I had finished my soup and some of the bread, I took the bowl and put it where it was supposed to be, put my plate back, and went to find my room while eating the leftover bread (it wasn't that bad okay? Better than what they served back at Kamino).
I found my room and took the key out. It looked like some kind of metal stick. I also saw a slot. I put the key in the slot and turned it. I heard a click and I opened the door the way Etheral had back at the hospital. I found myself in a room with a bed and a few things I couldn't recognize. I decided to take my armor off and put it against the wall. I kept my black body glove on however. I decided to look at how much Lien I had remaining. I only had 2 Lien cards leftover, both of which read "400 Lien". I put them with my armor and went into the bed I was provided with, and fell asleep, into a dreamless slumber.
And there you go! The very first chapter of this crossover! Do note, this is my first crossover and first Star Wars: The Clone Wars fanfic. If I got anything incorrect, don't hesitate to let me know VIA pm, or by a review. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed it and I'll see you all in the next one!
