Author Note: So I was originally attending to start this story when Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 comes out. But with the recent death of Carrie Fisher I decided it was time to do this story, not only in her honor, but in Kenny Baker and Erik Bauersfeld as well. I decided to put my main story on hold and make this my main project. Also this is the first part of my Avengers Infinity War Crossover story collection. Everything in the Guardians of the Galaxy movie is canon to my universe up until the bar scene, meaning all the other MCU movies, TV shows, and comics are not canon. But the actors, costumes, and locations are. Everything in the Star Wars universe is canon in this universe too. This story takes place between Star Wars Rebels Season 2 episodes 12 and 13. Plus the Infinity Stone is red in this story, now enough talking... lets read!
Rebels of the Galaxy
Chapter 1: Into the Unknown and Into the Fire.
(Rebels POV)
The Ghost Crew recently went to the Unknown Regions for rumored rebel cells hiding and need of help. But it turns out it was just another Imperial trap set by the Seventh Sister and the Fifth Brother. Now the Ghost Crew is fleeing from the trap, little do they know there going into somewhere they can not even imagine...
"Karabast the Imperials! Karabast the Inquisitors! And karabast Sato for sending us into a trap!" cursed Zeb, on the top gun trying to shoot down TIE fighters.
"You know Zeb, blaming everyone won't get us out of this." said Ezra, on the nose gun also trying to shoot down TIE fighters.
"I agree with, Ezra." said Sabine, on the Phantom gun.
"Sato, didn't know it was a trap Zeb." explained Kanan, sitting the cockpit with Hera.
"That still doesn't make up for us about to be blown up!" Zeb exclaimed.
"Zeb! Calm down, we're not gonna be blown up. I just need to get into hyperspace." said Hera, calming down Zeb.
"Hyperspace into the Unknown Regions, isn't that dangerous?" asked Sabine.
"Relax, we're just going to get into a area of the Unknown Regions just to blast off back into the Outer Rim and meet up with the Rebel fleet." Hera explained.
Just then two TIE advances emerged from the Star Destroyer and started firing on the Ghost.
"We got the two Inquisitors on us!" exclaimed Ezra.
A squadron of five TIE fighters fired on the thrusters. Ezra, Zeb, and Sabine started blasting away at them. The squadron reeled back at the Star Destroyer now with only one member left. The two TIE advances then shot two deployed trackers on the ship. One at the bottom and the other one on the top. As the two TIE advances pulled back, the Star Destroyer fired a blast on the Ghost cutting their full line.
"That's it! I'm diverting all power to the ship's engine so we can get out of here!" explained Hera, to the crew.
Chopper then cut offed the guns power enable to escape with their lives. Before the Star Destroyer could fire again, the Ghost blasted off into the Unknown Regions.
Ezra, Zeb, and Sabine went into the cockpit to see what is now planned.
"The Ghost took too much damage after that fiasco." Hera begun. "That's why after we emerge from hyperspace we find the nearest planet to refuel and repair the ship enough to get back to the rebel fleet."
Just then Chopper bulged his way into the cockpit to show everyone a hologram of the ship after the escape. The image showed a heavily damaged, VCX-100 light freighter with 2 trackers on the ship.
"Great... now we have Imperials tracking us. And the trackers are not on the Phantom this time!" exclaimed Zeb.
"This situation keeps getting worse and worse..." Kanan said, shaking his head.
"It will take at least 1 hour to repair the ship enough to stay in hyperspace. In the mean time we'll repair the ship enough to stay in hyperspace." Hera continued.
"And the Empire?" Sabine asked.
"We'll cross that bridge when we get to it." Kanan answered.
(Time skip)
Ezra was sitting next to Hera, since he didn't really know how to fix ships. Hera was piloting because she was about to escape from hyperspace. They both looked at the never ending blue vortex, until Ezra killed the silence.
"Do you really think that theres a outpost this far in the Unknown Regions?" Ezra asked.
"Don't know. But theirs rumors that outside the Unknown Regions is another galaxy." Hera answered.
"That sounds crazy! Do you really think that that's true?"
"Maybe. But if we want to live I say we take that risk."
"And if there's no other galaxy?"
"You know what happens."
Just the Hera decided that they spent enough time in hyperspace.
"Alright getting out of hyperspace now." she said.
As they came out of hyperspace, a large head with no body appeared and it also had green air all around it. It looked big enough to be a small moon, big enough to have a out post on it.
"What the?" Ezra said, dumbfounded.
"I guess that their is another galaxy outside the Unknown Regions." Hera commented
"Kanan, Hera, what is that?" Zeb asked, over on the comlink.
"Don't know, but lets check it out too see if theirs life on it." Hera said
"Hera you can't be serious. The thing looks like it used to eat whole planets!" Sabine said, also on the comlink.
"I agree with Sabine." Ezra commented.
"Look, the ship is heavily damaged, we're leaking fuel, and we have the Empire tracking us. So this is our best shot on staying alive." Kanan said, on the comlink.
No one said a word for a few minutes, when they flew near enough they saw ships flying in and out of the head. So clearly it was an outpost.
"Looks like it is an outpost after all." Hera commented
As they flew into the eye, the whole crew saw'd buildings, ships, and aliens they never even saw in their lives.
"Look at our luck." Sabine said
"Don't forget we have the Empire tracking us, as soon as we land this ship they'll be on their way." Kanan said
Hera flew the Ghost long enough until she saw a repair shop with ships on landing pads. Hera landed the Ghost on a landing pad, as soon as the door of the ship opened 3 unknown aliens walked to it. The Ghost crew got out of the ship and walked towards the 3 unknown aliens, who were each a different species.
"What happened to you guys? Had a run in with Ronan or something?" one of the aliens asked.
"Had a run in with the Empire." answered Kanan
"Never heard of th- Wait...you mean the Nova Empire?"
"N- Yes." Hera said, wanting to sound believable as possible with theses guy so they can escape.
"Criminals huh? Don't worry, here on Knowhere everyone's a criminal." another alien said.
"How much would it take to fix this ship?" Hera asked
"20,000 units." the unspoken alien said
Without knowing much about these "units", Hera decided to go with it and say yes.
"We have the money. How long will it take to fix it?"
"5 hours since I never scene anything like it. But if you want it fixed enough to fly back to wherever you come from it'ill take 2 hours tops."
"We'll take 2 hours tops."
"Okay then, lets get in the shop and fix it."
"I'll come too, with my droid of course and help you boys fix it."
"I don't know if-"
"We'll still pay you a 20,000 units."
"Deal. You and your... droid come along."
As the 3 aliens walked towards the ship to put in shop, Hera talked to the Ghost crew.
"We don't even have units. How are we supposed to get 20,000?"Zeb asked
"Didn't you hear what he said? He said everyone here is a criminal, and if this place is full of criminals, there's bound to be some bars to gamble in."
"How are we supposed to get 20,000 from gambling ?" Sabine asked
"Bet with your thermal detonators. See if they have sabacc or something you'll know you're win on."
"We could be in a whole different galaxy, Hera! We don't know how things work around here." Ezra complained
"Then learn how things work here, and fast. I'm staying behind to make sure they don't steal the Ghost."
With that said the rest of the Ghost crew left the repair shop to find work and get 20,000 units.
(Imperials POV)
Both the Seventh Sister and the Fifth Brother were standing in the Star Destroyer's bridge room looking out the window into the infinite black void. The officers and astromech's were working to keep the Star Destroyer afloat, they were ignoring the two Inquisitors until Admiral Konstantine walked up to them to give them a report on the location of the Rebels.
"The rebels have landed and have taken off the trackers. We have their location-" Konstantine begun, but was cut off by the Eighth Fifth.
"We will head to their location at once." he said
"Yes sir."
Konstantine then walked back to give the order to hyperspace to their location.
(Rebels POV)
Kanan, Ezra, Zeb, and Sabine were walking down a road full of aliens they never seen before. They were some humans yes, but very few. They kept walking until Ezra felt something. The Force. Ezra stopped walking and turned his head to see an entrance to a bar. He felt compelled to go in their and see what the Force wanted him to see and get. The others noticed Ezra stopped walking, they turned around to see Ezra standing their looking at the bar. The walked towards and Kanan asked "Ezra, whats wrong?"
"I don't know, but I-I think the Force wants me to go in there." he answered
"The Force? Listen kid why would the Force want you to go into a bar?" Zeb asked
"I don't know. But I'm gonna check it out."
Ezra then walked inside the bar to see want the Force wants him to get. The others stayed behind and talked what to do next.
"Whats got inside the kid?" Zeb asked
"I don't know, but I'm gonna go in there with him. You two stay behind and warn us if the Empire comes in." ordered and answered, Kanan.
As Ezra walked in the bar, he saw people surrounded a table in which a reptilian was devouring what seemed like rats. The people were cheering all about, probably because it was betting.
"Where's the Force telling you to go?" asked Kanan, walking up to him.
Ezra then listened to the Force, and was pointing him to a balcony were a human man and a green skinned women were standing on.
Ezra then pointed his fingure over at them and said, "Over there."
"Hey! No kids allowed!" said a man, walking to them.
"You will let us stay here." Said Kanan, waving his hand in his face, using the Force.
"I will let you stay here." the man then said, walking away.
"Go over to them, and see what the Force wants you to get." Kanan ordered.
Nodding his head Ezra walked towards the man and the green skinned woman. Just then, when they looked like they were gonna kiss, the green skinned women pulled at her sword and yelled, "NO!"
"Ah, what the hell?" the man cried.
"I know who you are Peter Quill! And I am not some starry eye'd wave here to succumb to your... your... pelvic sorcery!"
Just then a fight broke out in the bar. The man named Peter Quill and the green skinned women rushed to see what was happening. Ezra bumped into Peter on accented.
"Hey, watch were you're going, kid!" Peter warned.
"Sorry." Ezra apologized.
But it wasn't an accented. Ezra bumped into Peter on purpose because had something in his bag the Force wanted him to get. Ezra used his thieving skills to reach into peters bag and achieve a small metal ball.
"Is that what the Force wanted you to get?" Kanan asked.
Ezra nodded his head, and him and Kanan made their way out of the bar.
(Guardians POV)
It was a little while after the bar incident. The group lost Drax but that didn't stop them from meeting the Collector. As the Collector demanded the Orb Peter reached inside in his bag to get the Orb, but to his surprise.
It wasn't there.
"Quill... where's the Orb?" asked Rocket.
Star Lord started checking all of his pockets to get the Orb. But their was no luck. He then started thinking when the Orb could possibly get lost or stolen. He then remembered the time in the bar when the teenager bumped into him.
"The kid!" Peter exclaimed.
"You mean the kids from earlier stole the Orb?" asked Rocket again, with his voice getting higher.
"No, I mean the teenager in the bar! He must have stolen the orb."
"Who the hell lets a teenager in a bar!" Rocket yelled
"No Orb, equals no money." said the Collector.
"We can get it back! We just need to find the kid."
"Give us more time, if your willing to pay 4 billion units for the Orb, you can give us more time." Gamora said
"Very well, go get the Orb." the Collector said.
Walking out of the Collectors collection room, the Guardians start to get into a argument.
"You had it, Quill! You had it! You just had to let a teenager steal it from you!" Rocket argued.
"I didn't let the kid steal it from me! He stole it from me without my permission!" Peter defended himself.
"Maybe if you had been more careful, we wouldn't be chasing a teenage thief around Knowhere!" Gamora yelled.
Out of no where, a strange giant grey triangular ship emerged from the empty eye socket. Smaller grey ships came out of it, but shaped differently. White armored soldiers started to fill the streets, taking control of Knowwhere.
"I asked for Ronan to come! Not these white armored soldiers!" exclaimed Drax.
"You brought Ronan here you idoit! Are you trying to get us killed?" Rocket yelled.
"I am Groot!" Groot exclaimed, trying to offend Drax, but has no avail because on one (except Rocket) can understand him.
"I am try to avenge my wife and daughter!" Drax yelled back.
"You five, stay where you are and drop your weapons." one of the white armored soldiers ordered, pointing a gun at them.
But Rocket had enough of this day, he decided to fight back at these bastards.
"You want me to put my weapon down? Taste fire you son of bitch!" Rocket exclaimed.
Rocket then pulled out his weapon and fired on the white armored soldier, leaving a hole in his chest.
"The soldier got shot and died, he did not taste fire." Drax said.
"Learn metaphor." Rocket said.
Just over more 10 white armored soldiers started running towards them.
"Great, now they think we're all together." Peter complained.
"Then we fight together." replied Gamora.
Drax ran up to three soldiers, he grabbed one of the soldier guns and threw it at another, he then pulled both of his knives and stabbed both of them in the soldier he stole the gun from in the chest. The soldier that was not harmed, aimed at Drax, and was about to fire, but couldn't since Drax threw one of his knives into the soldiers fore head. The soldier that had the gun thrown at him punched Drax in the back, but Drax used the knife in his hand and slit his throat. Seven soldiers have taken cover and started firing at Rocket, luckily enough... they were missing. Rocket started firing his gun at the soldier, he took three out. The other four decided to make a run for it. But Rocket started walking towards them as they were running, and picked them off one by one with his gun. Two soldiers surrounded Groot, on of them jumped on Groot, but Groot just picked him up and threw him at the other soldier, knocking them both out. Gamora sliced off a soldiers head in front of four more soldiers. They immediately aimed their weapons at her, but Gamora then cut off one of the soldiers arms, then sliced another soldiers leg, a solder then fired at her but missed, Gamora then stabbed the soldier in the chest. The last soldier tried to kill her, but she cut the soldier in half. Peter was shooting as many soldiers as possible, they were six left, he shot one of them in the stomach while he also shot another in the chest. the soldiers started shooting at him, but Peter kept dodging them, he then let out three shots which all of them hit a soldier killing them. The last soldier had Peter in his sight, but couldn't fire because Groot grabbed him and threw him in a building.
"Well... that was fun." Peter said exhausted.
"We still need to find Ronan!" exclaimed Drax.
Just then a unfamiliar ship flew over their heads with Ronan's minion ships chasing after it.
"I bet the kid is on that ship." said Peter.
"How do you know that?" asked Gamora.
"Why else would Ronan's ships be chasing it? They already have enough time going after... the new guys."
"Good point. Lets go!" exclaimed Rocket.
"I am going too." said Drax.
"What? No! Why would you want to do that?" Peter asked.
"Because if Ronan's minions are going after them. Then Ronan is going after them."
"Fine, you can come."
Then the Guardians started to walk back towards the Milano, hoping no other enemies would stand in their way.
(Rebels POV)
The rebels were running as fast as they could to the Ghost. The Imperials have tracked their location to Knowhere, and is now taking control of Knowhere. They soon heard the sound of a TIE fighters engine, they turned their heads to see a TIE fighter about to kill them. They all prepared for their deaths, until a mysterious black ship shot it down. The ship landed and out came a blue skinned alien wearing black armor and holding a hammer. Soon other ships like this started landing and soon the whole area was filled with mysterious black armored soldiers.
"Kill everything that stands in our way of getting the Orb." the blue-skinned alien demanded.
The mysterious black armored soldiers started to point their weapons at them, the rebels started to run back, to get away from these new foes. Ezra slipped and fell down, and what fell down from his jacket was the small metal ball.
"Its the Orb! Kill them and give me the Orb!" commanded the blue skinned alien.
Zeb fired two rounds and killed a soldier, Sabine threw a thermal detonator at the ships blowing some up, and Kanan whipped out his lightsaber.
"You fool, do you know who I am?" asked the blue-skinned alien.
"Do I have to?" asked Kanan.
"I am Ronan the Accuser, I have killed many in combat. You will be the same."
"Yeah, I really don't care."
Kanan then charged at Ronan, but Ronan dodged the lightsaber swing. Ronan then struck Kanan on the back with his hammer. Ezra then shot off four rounds at Ronan. Ronan was not moved at all, he then turned his head to Ezra.
"Foolish boy, you think you can defeat me?"
"Lets test that." Ezra said.
Ezra then Force pushed Ronan back a few steps, then he ran up and tried to slice Ronan in half. But Ronan moved fast and managed to grab both of hands and then struck Ezra in the chest with his hammer.
"This is the best you can do? Stop playing childish games and fight me!" Ronan roared.
Ronan then felt a searing hot pain on his left arm. Kanan struck Ronan in his left arm, he didn't cut off his arm because he didn't have the strength in him. Ronan fell down in pain, and before Ronan could react, the Ghost flew in to save the rebels, Hera, who was piloting the ship shot off a couple rounds and blew up Ronan's ships, she then flew down and open the hanger door. Zeb ran over and helped Kanan up, as did Sabine with Ezra. Before they entered the ship, Ezra used the Force and grabbed the Orb. As soon as they entered the ship, Hera closed the hanger door and flew off to escape. Ronan's troops ran up to him and helped him up.
"Don't just stand here! Get them! I want the crew in that ship alive!" Ronan ordered.
As the Ghost made it escape, the crew made into the cockpit. Kanan and Ezra were both put in a seats to catch their breaths from their fight with Ronan.
"How you get away from the mechanics?" Kanan asked.
"As soon as the Star Destroyer appeared, I took the ship while they were working on the outside." Hera answered.
The Ghost tried to escapee through the eye socket but the Star Destroyer blocked the way. Hera then pulled back and as soon as she that three of Ronan's minions ship appeared and started chasing them. Hera flew by building by building to try to get them off their back.
"Zeb, go to the canon and take them out!"
Zeb then rushed to the high canon and started firing away. Zeb manged to take out one of the ships. And as soon as he did that Hera noticed that the Empire and the Ronan's army started to get into battle. Taking this opportunity, Hera turn around and aimed towards the eye socket. She manged to escape through the eye sockets and luckily, enough they lost the two Ronan's minion through the battle.
"Not all of the repairs were complete, so we can't go through hyperspace." Hera explained.
Little do they know, Peter and his crew were right behind them.
