Hello. I'm working on this Story, and I had a lot of ideas for it for a while. I know there are a few different takes on a Star Wars AU out there, This is mine.
I'd love whatever Feedback you can give, positive or negative. This uses some things from the Legends continuity, and is kind of a cross between Legends and Canon, along with my own stuff, and with the characters from Gravity Falls thrown into the mix. I can only hope you enjoy this because I really do want people to like this story. Current working name for this Star Wars Crossover AU, is Force Falls. Might Change, anyway this being written by me it shall include some Dipper X Pacifica stuff.
You do not need to be familiar with Legends to Enjoy this Story, there are just going to be some things from Legends thrown in here and there. For example, Three Solo Children, Jedi training on Yavin IV, Mara Jade, The Imperial Remnant exists rather than the First Order. Also some other random bits will appear as this continues.
By the way I'm considering doing this as a Trilogy, not as in there will be three chapters, as in there will be Three Stories that take place one after the other. I already know how this would lead into another Story, each story could theoretically be mostly Self-Contained. WHATEVER... READ, ENJOY, REVIEW, ETC.
A Long Time Ago In a Galaxy Far Far Away...
Star Wars: The Legacy of the Empire
Thirteen Years have passed since the battle of Endor, and the Death of Palpatine. Since then Luke has established a Jedi Praxeum on the world of Yavin IV.
The remnants of the Empire have been pushed back into a small quadrant of the Galaxy, and Three Children of the Solo Family have been born.
Despite the New Reign of Peace and Justice a Shadow Darker than even Palpatine himself has reemerged.
A New Jedi, Dipper Pines has been training using a Mysterious Holocron, and on the City World of Denon a young Force Sensitive is about to be discovered, in a way that sends Dipper Pines, and the Galaxy into a dangerous race against an Old Enemy.
The Empire fell when she was two years old, the real empire that was. Pacifica looked out across the sprawling terraces of the Denon, a world of gardens, and skyscrapers all mixed together, it was like Coruscant, except with only the nice bits. It was, from a perspective, perfect, glimmering silver towers rose from the dark surface, massive walls of glowing light stood tall, as small speeders buzzed by at high speed, above the night sky was lit up by a thousand different satellites and vessels, making their way across the black sky. No sky was really black though, not ever. Even in the darkest moments of the night there was still a thin layer of dark blue in the black, and on Denon, as on Coruscant, with no real stars, the satellites made the sky much more colorful. The air was cold, it was the wind, which was generated among the towers, Pacifica looked out over the edge of her balcony, an entire galaxy was waiting out there. Not that it mattered much, she was a, she paused, a Northwest, yes that was her name, Pacifica Northwest. And Northwests didn't go on adventures, they sat safe and quiet in their homes, any time they were threatened it was because they had manipulated it, that was what the galaxy said about her grandfather after all. She was the heir to a fortune, and for some reason, at that moment, that didn't seem to mean much.
Elsewhere, far away, at the edge of the galaxy a young man, fourteen years of age at most, so more a boy than a man really, kneeled in a small prison cell, the door was thick strong metal, and there was a buzzing field of energy between him, and it. His pale blond hair, almost white in color, pale face, and rather fat body, were only some of the reasons he lost against his enemy Dipper, trying to win his beloved Mabel from the clutches of her evil brother. Still she rejected him, still manipulated by her cruel family. His plans had failed, the people of his home world had turned against him, and he had been placed in prison. Anger flared in his eyes, as his irises shifted from a normal brown to a bright yellow. His mind went back to his focus, to talk to the only being that could help him. His mind drifted as he reached out, rubbing against the mind of something much older, and more powerful, he reached his hand into his pocket to remove the triangular amulet with a glowing eye in the center, it acted similar to a holographic projector, as it projected the image of a darkly robed man with one eye, an eye that was yellow, with a small slitted pupil, the figures features were impish, and his teeth from what Gideon could tell, were sharp. He gave a wicked grin as he saw Gideon.
"Hey Kid, what can I do for you, I'm afraid my prices have gone up since last time." The voice was high pitch, and echo-y, almost electronic, as the figure grinned in his dark robes, that Gideon now saw were marked with yellow, his hood moved back, revealing strikingly yellow-blond hair, and a strange triangle tattoo around one eye. Gideon spoke calmly, his accent was outer rim, that was clear, it was also somewhat squeaky,"I want your help to get out of here, you triangle eyed freak, you promised me the aid I needed to destroy Dipper Pines. Well, now I'm in here, and he isn't destroyed!"
"Ah, well you see, we also had a deal kid, and you broke it. So, you tried working with me, now if you want to be freed, you'll need to work FOR ME." As he spoke the last two words his voice became deep, deep like the oceans of Mon Calamari, deep like the darkness between the stars, dreadfully and terrifyingly deep, filled with hatred, so much so it seemed almost as if he were the infinite void outside it all, the darkness that crawled inside the back of mens thoughts, as he spoke his eye flashed bright glowing red.
"Darth Cipherious, I work for one person and one person only, Myself. I'll make a deal with you, but not that one, I'm no fool." Gideon replied.
"Then enjoy your life in Prison, kid. I hope the food there is good." as he spoke, Cipherious began to flicker away.
The boy let out a cry, "Wait, I'll work for you, I'll do anything, just get me out of here."
The Sithlord smiled at the boy, "I thought so. Now then, I'll send someone to pick you up, I've got some other matters, things I consider just as pressing."
Dipper looked around the rooftops of Denon, he was waiting for some monster to jump out of the corner, but despite everything it seemed safe. His muddy brown eyes scanned the skyline looking for some terrible monster, still nothing. It seemed Denon was much different from his adopted homeworld of Ord Mantell.
While he had not been born on the planet, he had lived there for a while, and he considered it more his home than anywhere else. He and his Sister, Mabel, had moved there with their Great Uncle Stannford Pines. They had ended up their after tragic circumstances, but it had worked out in the end.
In truth it had actually been normal circumstances the first time they went. They had been sent on a vacation, on an interplanetary shuttle, driven by an annoying droid. The Twins had gone at age Thirteen to spend time with their elderly relative. Dipper's discovery had started it all, he had found a strange cube like object, which he opened, on accident. It was a Holocron of the old Jedi Order, a mysterious one, it seemed that the Author of it had wished to stay anonymous, instead of his face appearing a stylized picture of a Six fingered hand appeared. Dipper had used the knowledge inside to combat the Darkside Adept 'Lil Gideon', eventually recently he had imprisoned the insane younger boy.
Then they had left. It wasn't like they left friends behind. Their friends, Wey'daya "Wendy" Cor'durol, an ex-freedom fighter Twi'lek was on the MRE-HAC crew. So was SO-OS 'Soos' the B-1 Battle Droid a that acted as both Engineer, Repairman, and Assistant for the crew. His circuitry was old and damaged resulting in an over friendly, somewhat childish Droid that had forgotten how to raise a blaster.
Still the entire reason Dipper and Mabel had stayed with their Great Uncle was because their parents had died. The rough old conman/smuggler, was while acting uncaring, deeply protective of them. He would give his life for them if he needed to.
So that left them among their friends, misfits and outcasts. Funnily enough it worked, their crew was insane certainly, Mabel his twin sister was hyperactive, and childish, impatient certainly, but she was an amazing pilot, and with her Astromech Droid R2-K7 'Waddles' by her side and the small shuttle that was inside the MRE-HAC, she was capable of getting Dipper, and herself anywhere, which helped Dipper, who had over the past year begun to learn the ways of the Jedi, he had even constructed himself a lightsaber, a simple and plain cylindrical metal hilt, with a small Pinetree carved into the top of the hilt.
"Pinetree are you alright you look worried." Wendy said popping up behind him.
"We don't need call signs we aren't on a mission, right?" Dipper said, the last part was an actual question, their Gruncle often had them completing chores for him.
The orange skinned twi'lek shrugged, moving her bright orange Lekku as she did, she paused after that, "Okay then Dipper, are you alright man, you seem a little tense."
"No I'm fine." Dipper said, pulling at his dark blue vest, beneath the best he wore a plain white tunic, the vest however included a bright blue Pinetree marked onto it, each member had taken a call sign or code name for any law-bending activities, or occasional law abiding activity.
Wendy looked the part of freedom fighter, she wore a military jacket, and darkly colored leggings, however a small patch had been recently added to her Jacket a bag of ice, something representing her calm and collected nature, she acted extremely chill even in tense circumstances. Beyond those small details showing some military origin, there was also a smaller Vibroblade Axe strapped to her side, and an E-11 hanging freely at her waist.
Dipper brushed his brown hair, he was tired, and confused. His Great Uncle Stan had insisted they leave their home shortly after Gideon's defeat, with no explanation, or reason, and then they'd ended up here. Denon, a core world, a city world, it looked somewhat Ugly to Dipper who was used to plains, forests and lakes of his homeworld, along with all the dangers included. Wendy grinned putting a hand on Dipper's shoulder, Dipper froze and let a cold shiver run through his body.
"Oh come on, don't tell me you're going all 'New Order Imperial' on me." Wendy said jokingly.
"No, there's this weird feeling, in my gut. It's, well, terrifying, like the darkness of an everlasting night, there are no stars, just shadows. It's awful." Dipper said shivering, "And cold."
"Dude, I know you do all that weird force stuff, but you need to chill out, it's not like there are Sithlords left, and even if they were why would they show up here?" Wendy said with a grin.
"I guess your right, still I want to check it out, maybe Mabel will take me." Dipper said pondering it for a moment, "I'll check, last I saw she was trying to fix that droid of hers, I think its beyond repair though."
"Better than her having panic attacks? Or weeping over him, anyway he still serves his duty as a navigator for the ship, even if he doesn't move properly." Wendy said.
"I guess. Anyway you want to come and check on this Sith thing with me?" Dipper asked sliding from the roof of the MRE-HAC, he landed on a small platform outside one of the doors, they had found out about it a while back, and it had come in use for getting up and down from the roof.
"Eh, sure whatever." Wendy said sliding down after him.
Mabel grinned as the group lifted off in the small shuttle, it was a plain white vessel, somewhat square in appearance, with a couple of light green streaks along the roof. Mabel piloted it with pride, it could fit, at maximum six people, but piloting was one of the few things Mabel was seriously good at. Better than her brother even, it was all about instinct, she moved with the natural skill, able to outfly some of the most experienced people they had met.
She was also extremely childish, thus the sparkly pink Astromech Droid by her side, and the strange Bantha-Wool sweater with a Shooting Star on the front. Dipper held on tightly as the vessel moved through the winding hovering lanes of Traffic. Denon was a large city, no where near as large as Coruscant but large. As Dipper's hand tightened around his weapon he focussed, he could feel the darkness, it bled from the spot it was at, it was like the darkest starless void, the place between Galaxies, living there was a curse he would wish on no one.
"Soooo, Bro-Bro, where are we going?" Mabel asked, as they moved.
"Forwards, Left. Forwards, Right, Up. Forwards. Now, down." Dipper said pausing in between each comment as they moved, his eyes were tightly shut. He was feeling his surroundings with the force, sensing the source of the Darkness and driving towards it.
Pacifica stood frozen in place as the man laughed, his impish features and sharp ears were visible, a strange lightsaber hung at his belt, and he smiled, examining the dead staff all around him. "Now now, Preston, and Priscilla, I've just come to make good on a deal, a deal an ancestor made with me. It would be a shame to end this too Violently wouldn't it. I promised your ancestor riches and power, and believe me, you had them, or at least your father did Preston. He failed to keep them, and that isn't my problem, now. I think you're both too Old to make Good Apprentices, so I'll just take your daughter, she's about the right age to make a good Sith Lord. After all that was the deal I made with your ancestor, power for a Future Apprentice. I still think the change in name is Hilarious, whose going to buy that your actual last name is Northwest? No one, I'll tell you that."
"Why are you doing this?" Pacifica screamed, tearing against the stasis-like barrier around her. She tried to pull away, tried to move, but the Sithlord seemed to be holding her still with his mind. The Blond Girl's eyes flashed with terror.
"I already told you why I'm here. Oh, you mean the killing a lot of your hired help, and planning to kill your parents, well thats obvious, because ITS FUN." The dark being grinned brightly. The yellow triangle over his single eye flashing. Pacifica tried to force her way back, forcing against the barrier, to no avail.
"You Stop!" A voice yelled from down the hall, at the front door. A brown haired, brown eyed, fair skinned boy, in his hand a piece of metal, suddenly there was a click and then a hiss, a blade of Azure blue light extended from the cylindrical object, a Lightsaber.
"OH That, That is Hilarious. You really think you can stop me?" The Sithlord grinned, brightly, "Do you know who I am, my name is Lord Cipherious, I am older than that joke of a Sithlord Sidious, Older than some planets even, And you, You think you can stop me?"
"Yeah, um I guess? Shooting Star, And Ice I could use some help right now." The boy spoke the last sentence into his comm unit, rushing forwards with his lightsaber. The Sithlord smiled, activating his own Bright Red Blade and blocking the child's attack. Pacifica then realized she could move, she reached into the folds of her Purple dress, pulling out her Q-2 Hold-Out blaster, she took aim for a moment then fired off a couple of shots into the shoulder of the Sithlord, who turned with a snarl, throwing the Jedi Boy against a nearby wall, "So the little heiress has some fight in her after all, hilarious. You might make a good Sith yet."
Pacifica kept firing on the Sithlord who simply smiled, deflecting each blast with his Lightsaber, upon the final deflection he had made his way over to her parents, and with a quick movement of his wrist their lives were ended. Pacifica let out a scream. Her hand tightened around the trigger to the blaster pistol and she fired again.
Suddenly a new figure was firing on the Sith Lord, a young Twi'lek woman, she had orange skin, and bright eyes, she was using the old E-11 a blaster used by most stormtroopers, though she was using it with significant skill, firing on the singular figure with it, "Pinetree, get the girl, and lets go!"
The boy nodded, sending a blast of force energy against the Sithlord and grabbing Pacifica's hand, he dragged her away, "Come on, I'll explain later right now we've got to run."
Pacifica snorted, she wasn't going to be skilled at running, not in her dress, but she tried anyway almost falling over multiple times as they moved, as they neared the exit, there was no obvious way forwards, "I'm going to throw you okay?" The boy said, he was clearly trying to be nice, and he was also trying to calm her, but she was in too much shock to even know what was going on, she almost laughed, the boy was barely her height and he expected to throw her, suddenly though what felt like a massive shove sent her flying across the street and onto the pavement on the other side, the Twi'lek girl landed upright next to her, offering her hand, and then the boy leapt across with a grin, "My names Dipper, Dipper Pines, I think we just saved your life."
Pacifica blinked, and the Twi'lek girl held out her hand, "Wendy, a pleasure really, now we need to keep moving."
"Sorry, what was that, what is happening, and why am I here?"
"Well that was a Sith lord, also a Sephi. You are here because he was going to either imprison you, or kill you, your parents are dead, so I'd get moving Rich Girl." Wendy replied, her tone was harsh and cold, Dipper looked over at her in surprise.
"She's just in shock, honestly." Dipper said, frowning at Wendy.
"Fine. You need to move, we can get a pick up from Shooting Star, but we're going to need to be away from the evil Sithlord." Wendy said.
"I'm. Sorry, yes ok, lets go where are we going, how are we getting there?" Pacifica said, looking about.
"Well, walking is always a good start, though Running is better." Dipper said, grabbing her hand and pulling her along, the group moved across even paved cement. Pacifica felt cold and dark inside, numb with shock. She moved unaware of her surroundings, of what had happened, of who she was even.
"Shooting Star, we really, really could use a Pick Up, but that's on you entirely. So show up please?" Dipper yelled into his Comm as they ran.
The shuttle appeared a couple minutes later hovering on the pavement a couple feet ahead of them, the three jumped in, Pacifica with some help from Dipper. As the doors shut a Brown Haired Brown eyed girl turned smiling, "So, how did it go? Oh you brought home a girl, thats a first."
"Oh shut up." Dipper said sighing, "What's your name?"
"Me. Oh, I'm Pacifica, Northwest." Pacifica said, blinking for a moment, her eyes were slightly glazed over, and she looked tired all of a sudden.
"I'm Mabel, and I hope the others have already introduced themselves. If they haven't I apologize, my Brother's a total idiot a lot of the time." Mabel said grinning as she piloted away.
"Mabel, this is serious. It was a Sithlord. Not some kid messing with the Darkside, an actual full blown Sithlord. Like Sidious, or Vader." Dipper said, looking at Mabel.
"And Pacifica, why she here." Mabel asked, looking back briefly.
"The Sithlord was after her family, it killed her parents." Dipper said, sighing, he gripped his lightsaber tightly, looking it over, "She's force sensitive though. Maybe she can learn a little about defending herself, maybe she can even help us find the Author."
"Pfft, Bro-Bro, you're never gonna find the Author it's like... Impossible." Mabel said, speeding up as they opened an area where the traffic lanes had seemingly disappeared.
"Easy for you to say, you haven't really provided any help."
Well, that was the first chapter, could have done better in places. I think I sped the plot up too much. But that's what I'm giving you for this chapter, that was always planned to be early on, because characters need to end up meeting before any really plot based stuff can happen. A lot of this though will involve characters not getting along, I think I under-developed Preston and Priscilla, they don't do anything the entire fight, so I'm just gonna say they were knocked out then.
Anyway this is a rough start, I'm going to polish it up more when I work on it, I already have the plotline planned out. Anyway this should be considered the Second Season of Gravity Falls... I guess? I mean basically, Gideon is in Jail, and the main Villain is Bill, so yeah, second season. WHATEVER.
REVIEW.
Lord/Darth Cipherious shall play a role through out the story, as will most of the characters who show up. I apologize for doing a very rough intro, without really covering my bases too well... Sorry... Anyway I hope you enjoy despite the parts of this which aren't great.
