X-Men: Jedi Rising
A Star Wars/Wolverine and the X-Men Crossover Fanfiction
Written by: FossilQueen1984
Disclaimer: I do not own Star Wars or Wolverine and the X-Men. They belong to Stan Lee and George Lucas. If I did, the two kids from the opening credits would get there own back story, and Erica and her family would get more action. On with the story!
Suggested soundtrack: The Legend of Ashitaka from Princess Mononoke
Chapter 1: From Tatooine to Earth
Screaming through hyperspace, the Millennium Falcon screamed through hyperspace towards Tatooine as a massive radiation hurricane tore at the battered freighter. Chewbacca and C-3PO valiantly tried to keep it upright as Leia Organa Solo and two of her children, five year old Jaina and four and half year old Anakin huddled in the escape pod, clutching a backpack full of lightsabers and other artifacts.
The reason they were en route to the desert planet was because Leia's husband, Han Solo and Jaina's twin brother, Jacen, had been kidnapped by Boba Fett and being help somewhere in Mos Eisly. Before leaving Coruscant, Luke and Mara had insisted on babysitting the kids, but Leia declined. "Should have taken up the offer," Leia thought grimly.
From the cockpit, she could hear Chewie and 3PO arguing. "I will not switch off, Chewbacca! Poor Mistress Jaina and Master Anakin - " "WRRROAAAR…" Meanwhile, Jaina and Anakin cuddled closer to Leia and began to ask for a story.
"Can we hear a story Mama?"
"Yeah please? How about when Uncle Luke Master Yoda? That one's funny!"
"We've heard that one a billion times, Kinkin. How about the Clone Wars? I like learning about that."
"No! Master Yoda!"
"Anakin, you're such a poodoo head!"
"Am not!"
"Are too!"
"Hey, you said Artoo!"
"Mommy! Make Jaya stop bossing me around!"
Hearing her children banter about a story, even now as the intense storm outside tore a hole in the space-time fabric, Leia couldn't but laugh. "I have a better idea," she said softly, and she began to sing them a song from when she had been their age. It went something like this-
Two little Jedi
In their brown and white robes
Running in green fields
Laughing as they go.
Two little Jedi
With their blonde and brown hair
Running in a city
Lost and alone.
Two little Jedi
Frightened and sleepy
Flee a burning city
For their Master's
No longer there.
Two little Jedi
Must always keep running
Dark men are coming
With their giant metal soldiers
Snapping up friends and those
Who might help them.
Two little Jedi
Brother and Sister
Must face the Darkness
To save their new home.
The lullaby had a dark fairy tale ring to it, and Luke had said more than once it might be some sort of Jedi Prophecy, but Leia wrote it off. Just then, a loud clang was heard as the wormhole swallowed the escape pod, and all three were lulled to sleep.
