I made this awhile back before quitting on it but after seeing Infinity War I decided to bring it back.
This story will have some similar themes to GOTG but not all the same.
Also, I may have slightly tweaked the characters backgrounds. Meaning there is no Empire, just a bunch of really bad guys in the universe.
Reasons to be explained later.
I don't own Star Wars Rebels or Guardians of the Galaxy. I just love them.
I hope you enjoy it.
Deep within the galaxy, a cargo ship was being chased by a pack of TIE Fighters.
The pilot of the spacecraft, Hera, was trying to fly the ship to safety but it was proven to be difficult alone.
Good thing she wasn't alone.
"Kanan! Would you care to blast a TIE out the sky, please?" she almost yelled into the ships comm.
"A little preoccupied at the moment!" Kanan responded back, half-listening as he tried to target the chasing enemies.
The two had been on a special mission to retrieve a special artifact from a deserted planet.
The mission started off easy, until a large group of troopers stormed onto the planet, having been sent to retrieve the artifact for their Dark Lord.
Kanan had managed to obtain the artifact but the troopers refused to go down without a fight.
Which led Kanan and Hera to their current problem. Being chased across space by angry troopers.
Just another typical day in the Galaxy.
Once the last TIE Fighter was blown from existence, the Ghost ship escaped into hyperspace.
Hera leaned back in her seat with relief, her moment of peace came to an end when Kanan stormed in.
"An entire army ready for a strike attack?" the man complained as he sat in the co-pilots seat, "All this better really be worth it,"
With a sigh, Hera sat up and faced her partner, "So, what is this oh-so-important artifact?"
Kanan reached into his pocket and pulled out a small golden cube.
Hera raised an unimpressed eyebrow at the artifact, "A cube?" They risked their lives for a cube?!
"A holocron," Kanan quickly answered sensing Hera's uneasiness, "There's something inside of it, something special."
Holocrons were a very rare artifact among the galaxy. It's never been known what they could carry but it's been said to be extremely powerful.
"How special, exactly?" Hera spoke up
"No clue, the sooner we deliver it to Vizago the better."
Vizago was a crime-boss among the planet of Lothal. He gave the two Spectres jobs and assignments that lead to good pay.
In a galaxy like theirs, any job that paid was a good job.
"Remind me why he sent us again," Hera asked once the coordinates were installed.
Kanan thought back to when they were assigned the mission before answering, "He wanted us to take it before some third party did,"
This grabbed Hera's attention and she turned in her seat, "What third party?"
The third party was a group of rebels called the Phoenix Squadron.
Commander Jun Sato, leader of the squadron, lead a pack of soldiers onto the deserted planet.
The sacred Holocron was said to be hidden in a temple that was built into a mountain.
But to the Commander's surprise and horror, the room has blaster marks on the walls, discarded guns and worst of all,
The holocron was missing!
"Sir?" a soldier spoke up, "It seems someone found it before us,"
Sato was handed a halopad which showed a video of a man entering the room and grabbing the holocron. The video was cut short when the man suddenly faced the camera and shot it with his blaster.
Worry filled the Commander. If the Holocron fell into the wrong hands, they could bring grave destruction upon the galaxy.
Handing back the halopad, he turned towards his soldiers.
"Find those criminals and retrieve the holocron. It must not fall into the wrong hands,"
FYI: The Phoenix Squadron here is like the Nova Corps/Ravangers of the story.
I will admit that this was not my best work, I cannot write a battle in space, still getting used to writing in a Star Wars Universe. My Badness.
So out of the long list of candidates, who best fits for Ronan?
Please let me know what you think and if I should continue or not.
