Yes, I know. anothr story, when I already have so many on the go. but you see, I work on stories by my mood. If I write a crossover, I have to be in the mood to write both genres. For my single universe stories, I really have to focus on writing it, especially if I'm not quite in the mood. As a result, it can take a while to finish a single story. Because of this, please do not expect any of my stories to be finished soon, although I will do it eventually.

Anyway, The storyline. I searched both the Yu-Gi-Oh! section, and the Star Wars section for a story that would actually blend the two together, with actual characters from both. However, the Star Wars characters only appear in the first chapter, and part of the second.

I do not own Star Wars or Yu-Gi-Oh

And now, without any further ado, The Jedi of Domino High


Twin suns beat down mercilessly on the vast expanses of sand that locals called the Dune Sea. Above the shimmering expanse, the faint silver gleams of starships could just be seen. From amidst the shoal, a slender speck detached itself, headed towards the sands below. As the ship drew nearer, the plume of smoke that signified a badly damaged ship became apparent. With a soft bang, the ship crashed into the sand, the pilot barely managing to pull up.

As the dust settled, the ship's entry hatch opened, and a bounty hunter stumbled out. Clearly not human, the bounty hunter's many layer of clothing and armour obscured his species, the pale blue-green blood the only key to his species. With a muffled curse, he stumbled back into the ship. Not a minute later, he came back out, dragging a human boy no older than three.

The bounty hunter gave a low growl, and set off into the desert, the boy close behind. Clutched between sweaty human palms, the source of the bounty hunters greed was apparent. A golden box, with a strange eye carved on one side, it was said to hold the greatest power in the galaxy, one strong enough to bring the fledgling empire to its knees.

The bounty hunter shook his head dazedly, sunstroke and bloodloss taking their toll. His memory fading, he recalled approaching the planet. Finding the strange place where the artefact was kept, and the human boy with the tricolour hair who refused to let the box go without a guardian. Or at least, he thought the boy had said guardian.

As the sun climbed higher into the sky, the unusual duo made their way to a small canyon, the human child hanging back slowly, cautious of the bounty hunter, whose apparent illness was making him unpredictable. The child had shed few tears, mainly in fear of death from the strange creatures that had hidden in the shadows.

A fearsome screech rent the air. Ahead, a lizard like creature approached slowly, its nostrils filled with the faint scent of blood. The bounty hunter yelled, throwing the child behind a rock. Raising his blaster, the bounty hunter charged forward, menacing the lizard unsuccessfully.

Whimpering slightly, the boy covered his ears, eyes squeezed shut as he desperately tried to ignore the sound of ripping flesh and snapping bone. Grasping at the golden chest, he ran, never looking back. The kryat raised its head from its grisly meal, watching the small figure flee the valley. With a snort, it turned back to its meal. It had its prey, nothing else mattered.

The child continued to run, vanishing into the mirage of the desert, as the twin suns beat down on the planet of Tattooine.

TWELVE YEARS LATER

The hum of a speeder bike filled the air, as a young man skilfully flew it over the Jundland waste. Dipping through canyons, crevasses and caverns, the youth gave a fierce grin. Behind him, a pair of modified seeker droids flew interference, adding to the challenge.

Skin tanned by the twin suns, Yugi Mutou was no longer the paleskinned offworlder who had been dragged here by a dying bounty hunter. Dressed in loose garb, with a tool belt and canteen strapped to his waste, Yugi was the only person on the whole of Tattooine who could stand the fearsome temperatures, and knew where a river still flowed, deep within the chasms and caverns.

Ringed about his neck, Yugi wore the trinket that had caused him so much grief. Shaped like one of the pyramids of the dead planets, it hung loose and lifeless about his neck. No evidence of the strange power that it held was evident, and neither was Yugi's closest friend, and ancient spirit, more than willing to speak and laugh.

"A good race, eh Spirit?" Yugi said, turning to the translucent being that only he could see. "Although, if you're going to win, at least give me a head start!"

The spirit smiled faintly, a triumphant smile playing about his lips. "Yugi, I gave you a huge head start. Now, come on. Ben's going to be disappointed if you miss his lessons yet again!"

"Yes, yes, I know. A Jedi must always be punctual, never late. Oh well, today's the day I get my lightsabre! That's something to look forward to."

The spirit smiled. "Yes, and then, if Ben doesn't drag us anywhere to celebrate, we can start trying to find our home planet."

Yugi gave a sigh of longing as he thought of his home planet. "Yeah, I wonder what its like? Probably drier than Tattooine, and on the farthest fringe of the galaxy! Somewhere the Empire doesn't know about."

The spirit smiled, caught up in the daydream. "A world with tech so advanced, it makes seeker drones look like toys! Or perhaps an ancient Jedi stronghold filled with forgotten knowledge, somewhere the Sith could never reach!"

Laughter echoed through the air as the pair headed of Ben's cottage, ready for their final lesson.

A scant few minutes later, Yugi arrived at Ben's, the Kryat dragon pearl that he had found many years ago clutched tightly in his palm. With a deep breath, Yugi knocked on the door, and was startled when a friend of his opened it, rather than his master.

"Luke! What are you doing here! I thought you were helping Owen and Beru this season." He said, pleased.

"Hey Yugi." Luke gave a grin. "Yeah, but an astromech droid my uncle purchased ran off, and was heading for Ben. Nearly got myself killed by a couple of tusken raiders though. I don't see how they don't kill you."

Yugi laughed. "They think that I'm crazy, wandering the desert like I do. Besides, I don't antagonize them, like most folk do."

Luke gave a grimace. "Yeah, but that doesn't explain why you can walk up to a kryat dragon unharmed, and pet it. Most, no, all the other people that i know would be dead once a kryat caught their scent. In fact, every single animal on Tattooine, sentient or not, lets you do as you please."

Yugi laughed again, shaking his head. "I don't know Luke, but can I step inside? I wanted to speak to Ben."

Luke gave a nod, and the two friends stepped inside. Ben was pleased to see Yugi, and told Luke to get himself a drink, while he helped Yugi. Under the old Jedi's tutelage, Yugi crafted his weapon.

When he was finished, he showed it to his old mentor. Ben turned it on, and the gentle snap-hiss let the room know that a new Jedi walked the sands. Ben let the purple gold blade drift about the room for a minute, and then turned it off, returning it to Yugi.

"That is some excellent workmanship, Yugi. It will serve you well. Now, do you have a starship to take you to your home planet?"

Yugi gave a nod. "Yes, master. It's a modified skyhopper. I added vacuum sealing, a hyperdrive, and the other necessary features. It'll take me anywhere in the galaxy I want to go."

Ben sighed, eyes smiling sadly. "Then go on. We'll all miss you, but you deserve to go home. Just remember to follow the code, wherever you go."

Yugi gave a vigorous nod, trying to hold back his tears. "I'll miss you master, but thank you." With a bow, he left the old cottage, glancing back once, and then heading for the future.
