Well, this is my first fanfiction that I've posted in my site, and it's my first crossover, too. So I hope that everyone enjoys it, and yes...if you haven't read/watched the series that are featured in this story, don't worry. As each character "enters" the story, I'll do a small introduction, which is why the prologue is a little long. Anyway, the series that are in this story are...
~Star Wars
~Harry Potter
~Warriors
~Artemis Fowl
and I might add a few others later in the story, like The Hunger Games. That was a bit of a long intro, I guess. I tend to ramble, you know. xD
Darth Sideous looked around the conference table at each occupant in turn with eerily pale eyes. This plan of his was working wonderfully so far. He hadn't been a able to keep an entire galaxy under his control for as long as he should have, but now he was ready to try again. And with this group of other fallen villains, there was no reason that he wouldn't be able to succeed.
There was Darth Vader, his dark apprentice, at his seat to his right. And next to him was a blond-hired youth who was idly leaning on the dark material of the table and twirling a slim wooden stick in one hand. He seemed to want to convey that he was cool and collected, and not at all unnerved by the imposing figure of Darth Vader, but he gave himself away by occasionally glancing nervously in the Sith lord's direction. His name, Darth Sideous knew, was Draco Malfoy, and the man who was sitting to his right was Lucious Malfoy, his father. Lucious Malfoy was almost identical to his son, except that he looked drawn and obviously a lot older.
He was deep in conversation with a creepy looking cloaked man who sat next to him. From what Darth Sideous could see of him, his face resembled a snake in the respect that his eyes were slanted and red and his nose was..well, nonexistent. In it's place were two slits.
Darth Sideous suppressed a shudder. He had never told anyone, but for as long as he could remember, he had not liked snakes. Not at all. The leg-less things were gross, and for the most part, venomous. He hadn't necessarily wanted to include Lord Voldemort in his plans because of this, but he seemed incredibly useful and was rather powerful. So it would be wasteful to not ask for an alliance. He also didn't really want Bellatrix Lestrange, either. But the dark haired woman was the most loyal servant of Voldemort, or so he had been told.
But Darth Sideous could sense a volatile aura that clung to her like death. She seemed mentally unstable, to some extent, but Voldemort had reassured him that she and his other people (they were known as Deatheaters) would do whatever he asked. So they were useful, as were the two others who were seated besides them.
Opal Koboi and John Spiro had both come to the meeting in order to carry on a vendetta against a person named Artemis Fowl. Darth Sideous had not done his research on this Fowl character, but he knew that he had to have some power in order to rile these two people. To cut a long story short, John Spiro was a former business man who had Mafia connections, and was running quite a smooth (if not legal) business before he tangled with Artemis. Opal Koboi, who was a little under three feet in height, was a member of one of the faerie races-a pixie. She had been attempting to take over the entire faerie underworld, when Fowl got involved. And so, she had ended up in a self-induced coma in order to escape being sent to jail. She had recently escaped from the hospital that she had been placed in in order to attend this meeting.
This Fowl person may end up being a slight problem...the Sith lord mused to himself. I shall have to do some investigations on him. Or her-isn't the name 'Artemis' feminine? Hm...well, at least the last group doesn't seem to have any super-powerfull enemies or insane hench-people.
The last group was not from a galaxy far, far away from Earth and none of them had attended some form of magical school. In fact, a few of them were not even alive.
Tigerstar, the dark ghost of a formidable tabby cat occupied one of the office chairs, his large paws perched on the table in an effort to remain at eye-level with the others. He seemed to be unofficial leader of this group.
Next to him, on the arm of a chair was another ghost of a cat, except that he had a mangled tail and had the slightly squashed countenance of a persian cat. If Darth Sideous was not mistaken, his name was Brokenstar. In the seat of that particular chair were two cats: a broad shouldered male (a ghost, like the others, and unlike the others, was one of Tigerstar's sons) with icy blue eyes and a slim ebony female (she was alive) with piercing green eyes. The tabby, Hawkfrost was his name, was whispering into the female's ear. She was known as Hollyleaf, and she seemed rather uncomfortable. And the last in Tigerstar's group was another black cat, except that he was a little larger and had bright amber eyes.
Darth Sideous noted some similarities with this cat and his apprentice. For one thing, Breezepelt had that same betrayed, angry aura that Darth Vader always had, and the same potential for evil.
Seeing that everyone was accounted for, Darth Sideous decided to call the meeting to order.
"Greetings," he rasped, and hands (and paws) immediately reached to click on the translators that were in their ears. "As you all know, I have called all of you here in order to join me in the quest for-"
"For revenge," Voldemort hissed, and everyone clicked their translators again to hear the new speaker. "Revenge is why I have come."
"Wait," said Opal Koboi, using the faerie's gift of tongues to her advantage and speaking in English. "I thought that we were called here in order to assist with universal-domination, not revenge."
"No," growled Tigerstar, raising himself up a little higher. He waited for a moment as everyone clicked their translators again. "No, we have come here in order to help Darth Sideous with his galaxy domination thing in exchange for help with our own plans to dominate the forest by the lake. "
"Well, good luck with your stupid lake," sneered Bellatrix, and the translating devices clicked. "But we-"
"Enough!" said Darth Sideous, banging his fist on the table, causing Draco to accidentally drop his wand. "We have all come for different purposes, but the main one is to help me become ruler of the galaxy again. Why I have come to this little backwash of a planet is to enlist all of you, to help me.
"In exchange, I will help you achieve whatever little vendetta or goal that you have, and you will all get power if you choose to join the Imperials. But you should all know this, I had someone send invitations to the lot of you. Now, this meeting is to just get thing organized, and after this, we will have a sort of 'practice run' by attempting to dominate this planet, Earth. After that, we will begin the real work. I would like all the leaders here to go over your numbers and then we shall tally them up, to see what we have to work with. Lord Voldemort, we will start with you."
Lord Voldemort looked pensive for a moment, and coughed. Instantly, everyone clicked their translators. "I believe that we have at least over one hundred Deatheaters, at least twenty five or so under the imperius curse-"
There came a mewing noise, and everyone glanced at Hawkfrost. Seeing that he had apparently said something, they clicked their translators.
"I said," reiterated the brown and white tabby, looking a little irritated, "What is an 'imperius curse'?"
Had Tigerstar been a humaniod, he would have face-palmed right there and then.
"Next time, do not be so bold as to interrupt Lord Voldemort. And the curse- it's a curse where the victim is basically following the caster's every command." said Lucious, looking contemptuously at Hawkfrost.
"Thank you, Lucious." said Voldemort dryly, and Darth Sideous could see that he was a little peeved at getting interrupted. "So, where was I...ah yes-and we do have control of the Imperi, dementors, and the other assorted Dark creature. and sooner into the takeover, I do know that many more will join me, in order to save their lives and families."
"The two of us," said Opal, and the translators clicked. "Spiro and I, have a combined number of roughly fifty people who are under our control."
"And I-," said Tigerstar, and his ears flicked back as Draco accidentally flicked the translator out of his ear. It flew across the table and hit Brokenstar square in the face. Darth Sideous stifled a groan. Things were not working out...
"Oops..." Draco said, cringing as Brokenstar hissed at him angrily.
"Lord Voldemort, if it is possible, may I preform a charm in order to get rid of the need for these translators?" said Bellatrix.
"Go ahead," said Sideous before Voldemort could reply. The translators were just wasting time, and were annoying.
She took out her wand and muttered, "Unus iunctus lingua."
Darth Sideous felt his throat spasm once, and was so startled he did not notice the small tug in the Force that the spell created.
"Thank you," Tigerstar said, and everyone was pleased to see that they could hear him without the need for a translator. "Now, aside from us (he jerked his head to signify the rest of his group), I have control over at least seventy, eighty cats. Some of them are living, but most of them are, unfortunately, dead."
"Wonderful..." mutter Vader, and everyone looked at him in surprise. Nearly everyone, including Sideous, had pretty much forgotten him over the course of the meeting. His mechanical breathing was very easy to tune out. "So we're going to take over a planet with one hundred and seventy people, eighty cats-some of whom are no longer alive (he pointedly looked in Tigerstar's direction)-and some 'assorted Dark creatures'. An combined with the forces that we-Darth Sideous and I-are going to contribute, we still don't make a thousand. This is supposed to be a plan? More like a waste of time."
Everyone was silent, and Darth Sideous's eye twitched.
"Well.." said Hollyleaf, speaking for the first time. "Not quite. Even if we do not dominate this planet, it will be a good exercise-we will learn each other's strengths and weaknesses and become a more coordinated team. Besides, from what I've heard recently, this planet is worthless compared to the others in the galaxy."
"And so you don't want to take revenge on Leafpool and Crowfeather?" hissed Tigerstar, not bothering to explain to the others who these two people-or were they cats?-were.
The sleek black cat would have shrugged-if cats had stiff collarbones.
"I've casted my dreams elsewhere. Helping someone become Emperor of the galaxy is much more appealing to me."
"Thank you Hollyleaf, but lets get back to the point, shall we?" said Darth Sideous. He was glad that someone saw from his perspective. Darth Sideous did not really like non-humanoid beings, in fact he had made a point to oppress them in his regime, but Hollyleaf certainly did seem intelligent. Had she been human, he would have considered making her an officer of some sort. He knew that he had lost the rebellion partly because of incompetent officials. This time, he would be more choosey.
"So now what?" said Opal Koboi.
"We start to slowly infiltrate-" began Voldemort, but he was interrupted by Hawkfrost.
"I thought that you lost your war."
"So?"
"Well, isn't that what you did? The whole infiltrating stuff?"
"Well, either way," interrupted Darth Sideous, not liking the ominous glint that was in Voldemort's eye or the way he was fingering his wand. "We will meet...not here, as it's expensive to rent this conference room. Lord Voldemort, do you happen to have a place where we can meet?"
"I do have a manor...it's in Ireland; I cannot risk being seen in England at the moment."
"Excellent. Is everyone free for the next Tuesday?"
Everyone around the table nodded.
"Perfect." murmured Darth Sideous to himself, feeling that he had indeed constructed the greatest team.
