Author's Notes:
Hello everyone and welcome to my RWBY/Star Wars cross-over!
Now I know what some of you must be thinking; There's no way a cross-over like this would ever work! This is a terrible idea!
Although this is my first fan fiction work, I started writing this novel after I determined what I would want to happen in this series. I'm both a fan of RWBY and Star Wars, and I came up with an awesome story concept I'm certain no one has come up with, and I'm certain that I will do a good job on this series!
But before we start, I do want to mention a few things;
ONE: If you are not fans of both RWBY and Star Wars, you WILL NOT enjoy this series. My sister is living proof of this... Then again, if you weren't then why would you even be here?
TWO: This series will primarily take place in the world of Remnant, and will not feature any canon Star Wars characters or locations (maybe once in awhile, but they'll never be a major factor in the story).
THREE: I will happily accept reviews and opinions on what I can do to make my writing better, but I do have a determined plot line that I want to stick to! So any story ideas as to what should happen next will be politely denied. Thanks for understanding!
FOUR: I will be publishing a new chapter every other day. It takes a long time to write and edit each chapter, but at the same time this also guarantees that each chapter is written to the best of my ability!
P.S: I had to re-upload the first two parts of the story because I did not properly convey Ozpin's character. But now that I fixed that mistake, the story is much more true to the canon source! I'll make sure to check the canon sources more often for now on!
Now without further ado, on with the story!
A long time ago in a galaxy
far, far away...
STAR
WARS
THE HUNT OF THE JEDI
THE JEDI HAVE BEEN BETRAYED BY THE REPUBLIC!
AS CLONE TROOPERS ACROSS THE GALAXY ARE
ORDERED TO HUNT DOWN AND KILL ALL JEDI, VERY
FEW ESCAPE FROM THE PURGE. ONE OF THESE JEDI
IS KAREK SUTO, WHO MANAGED TO ESCAPE THE
JEDI TEMPLE OF CORUSCANT, ABANDONING HIS
FELLOW JEDI IN FAVOR OF HIS OWN LIFE.
KAREK NOW TRAVELS BEYOND THE GALAXY IN HOPES
OF FINDING SANCTUARY. LITTLE DOES HE KNOW
THAT THE PATH HE HAS CHOSEN WILL LEAD HIM
TO HIS DESTINY...
"WARNING: COLLISION IMMINENT IN 15 SECONDS."
The young Jedi awoke to the blaring alarm inside the ship. He was not aware of how long he had been asleep or travelling in hyper-space. Yet that obviously did not matter right now.
"WARNING: COLLISION IMMINENT IN 10 SECONDS."
He quickly scrambled for the hyper-drive switch hoping to deactivate it in time. Even though he had just awoken moments earlier, his senses did not fail him as he grabbed the switch in time and pulled it to exit hyper-space. Any second later and he would have been disintegrated along with the rest of the ship. Yet it was no time to celebrate, as he found himself heading at top speed towards a forest.
"WARNING: COLLISION IMMINENT IN 5 SECONDS."
"Not helping!"
The young Jedi re-averted his attention to the yoke, pulling it as much as he could to avoid yet another crash-landing. He had a strong feeling that this efforts would not accomplish anything, but he continued to pull the yoke will all his strength hoping he would be wrong.
"COLLISION IMMINENT. BRACE FOR IMPACT."
Why did his feelings always have to be right?
He swiftly let go of the yoke and fastened his seat belt, holding onto the seat for his life. His mind went blank as the ship collided with the ground and slid into a large tree, knocking him unconscious.
It took the young Jedi awhile to recover and recall what had happened. He remembered that he almost killed himself by not staying awake while the ship was travelling in hyper-space, and-
He crashed... He crashed!
The young Jedi widen his eyes and surveyed his surroundings. He checked for injuries to thankfully find his body still intact and working. Although he did receive cuts and bruises in various places, he was extremely thankful (and confused at the fact) that he was still alive. But his rejoicing was soon interrupted as he noticed the front of the ship in flames, signifying that the power cells inside would soon ignite and erupt.
He instinctively unbuckled his seat belt and ran straight for the exit behind him. He sprinted faster than he ever knew he could, focusing on getting as far away from the ship as possible. It was only after a few seconds of running did he feel an explosion behind him. He quickly hid behind a large rock, watching as flaming shrapnel flew past him, destroying numerous trees surrounding him.
After he was certain that there was nothing else trying to kill him, he stood up and looked at the crash site behind him. The ship he used to travel to this system was now non-existent; its remains scattered across the dark forest in flames. The young Jedi had escaped certain death not once, not twice, but three times in such a short period of time with only a few minor injuries. But at the same time, he had now found himself in an unfamiliar system with no food, water, shelter or a way to get off the planet.
"Worst. Wake-up call. Ever..."
A tall, silver-haired man sipped his coffee in his office as he surveyed the part of Emerald Forest that was now illuminated. Just moments ago he, and likely the entire school, were awoken from their peaceful slumber when a loud explosion occurred within the forest.
He heard the elevator doors to his office open from behind him, hearing the footsteps of who was clearly the stern, blonde huntress hastily making her way towards him to alert him of the obvious situation.
"Professor Ozpin, the entire school is in a panic! We must act immediately before the students are put in danger!"
"Calm down, Professor Goodwitch." He continued to sip his drink and look out the window. "I'm certain that we can handle this situation. Alert the students that everything is under control and that they must all return to their dorms immediately."
"But Professor!" Goodwitch took a step closer to Ozpin, concerned that he was oblivious of the likely threat. "If what I fear most is true, then the school is currently under attack and we must act now to prevent the enemy from-"
Before she could finish, Professor Ozpin placed his mug on his desk, disrupting her thoughts and silencing her. She never liked how he always seemed calm in situations like this.
"Meet me in the Emerald Forest at the explosion site after you have taken care of the students."
The blond professor was about to retort this, but reluctantly nodded and exited the room, hoping that the headmaster knew what he was doing.
The young Jedi had been travelling through the forest for what seemed like an entire day. It didn't help that he had spent most of his energy avoiding certain death and now was walking through an unfamiliar forest in the middle of the night on an unknown planet. He just hoped that his efforts would soon lead him to some sort of civilization or a source of food, water and shelter. If he were to meet danger along the way, he had his lightsaber ready to defend himself. He knew that the years of training he had back on Coruscant in the Jedi temple would serve him well, even though his training was not yet complete because of-
Before he could continue his train of thought, the young Jedi heard a noise in the bushes in front of him. He tried to sense what it was, but never felt a presence such as this before. He had a strong feeling that it was not friendly, and readied his lightsaber in case of an attack.
And as always, his feelings were right.
A large, black beast emerged from the shadows and attacked the young Jedi. He leapt out of the way just in time and activated his lightsaber, its green blade illuminating the darkness and giving him a better look of the beast. It strangely reminded him of a Wampa, but far larger and armored with what seemed like white rocks or bones. But the young Jedi knew that no armor could stop a lightsaber's attack, which made him confident.
The beast's eyes glowed red and growled loudly at its prey, readying itself to pounce again. From what the young Jedi remembered, the beast would leap at him with it's paws in front while exposing its belly and neck. That was the time to strike.
As the beast ran towards its target and pounced, the young Jedi effortlessly dodged the attack and swung his blade through the beast's neck. He did not look behind him as the now lifeless monster slid along the ground. The young Jedi was victorious.
"Your training has served me well, Master Ulna."
He briefly commemorated his old master before deactivating his lightsaber and continuing on his way. The young Jedi was happy that he was able to avoid death once again by utilizing his Jedi skills instead of relying on luck, giving him more needed confidence and peace.
As the silver-haired and blonde-haired professors made their was to their destination, they both contemplated what might have caused the explosion. It was likely a result of a dust reaction, but one of this magnitude was certain to be purposely caused by someone. Whatever it was, it was certainly not good news.
The two found themselves at the site, shocked at what they found. Metal pieces were scattered all over the site, some still aflame, and others which must have been sent flying, which would explain why some trees were torn down. To their surprise though, they did not find a single trace of dust or any explosive device, making the event which just took place all the more mysterious.
"Professor Ozpin, what do you think might have caused this?" the blonde huntress asked the headmaster, who was still contemplating what he was seeing. He knelt down to examine the deep marks in the ground.
"An explosion such as this was obviously not caused by dust, and these marks clearly shows that something did crash here." He spoke in subtle confidence as he continued to survey the site. The two then noticed numerous sets of footprints, peculiarly resembling a human's, leading away from the site.
"But that doesn't explain why there would be footprints here." The headmaster had trouble contemplating this.
"I that that there are two likely explanations to this;" Goodwitch replied. "The first one being that whoever caused this survived and is now wandering the forest." Both professors agreed that this was likely.
"The second one being-" She turned around quickly, and with a wave of her wand used her semblance to force four young girls out of hiding.
"That there was someone here before us." She sighed and placed her hand to her forehead as she shook her head is disappointment. "And why am I not surprised that it was you four?"
The members of Team RWBY; Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, Blade Belladonna and Yang Xiao Long, quickly returned to their feet while muttering under their breath. They all looked at the two professors in guilt while trying to explain themselves.
"We're sorry Professor Goodwitch and Professor Ozpin!" The leader of the team pleaded. "We all wanted to see if it was an alien that crash-landed here!"
"Uh, correction!" the white-haired heiress retorted, "YOU wanted to see if it was a stupid alien! I was trying to stop you!"
"Actually," the black-haired feline replied, "You were just as interested in seeing what had happened here."
Weiss glared at Belladonna as she continued to read her book. How can she even read in a situation like this?!
"Dangit!" the blonde boxer "Here I was really hoping it was an alien too! And a cute one at that!" She played with her hair with a smile on her face as everyone else stared at her in confusion at what she had just said.
"What is wrong with you?!" Weiss shouted.
The four regained their posture and focused their attention back on the two professors as Goodwitch cleared her throat.
"Whatever the reason is that you are all here, you will all be in detention tomorrow for disobeying-"
"That won't be necessary, Professor Goodwitch," the headmaster interrupted the blonde huntress.
"But Professor-"
Ozpin held his hand up to silence Goodwitch. "These girls did nothing wrong, so no punishment is necessary."
The blonde huntress could not stand how Ozpin always allowed his students to get into trouble, especially team RWBY.
"Now," the silver-haired hunter turned to team RWBY. "We should be making our way back to the school. Professor Goodwitch and I will personally accompany you back to your dorm." He gave a wink to the four girls, who were once again thankful for their headmaster's intervention.
"Come along now."
The young Jedi quickly hid behind a tree and prepared for another attack as he heard more noises from nearby. He sensed that there were a group of people in the forest with him, but were thankfully unaware of his presence.
As he peeked behind the tree, he noticed that there were six humans, four of which were girls around his age, walking away from the site where his ship had crashed. He was thankful that there was life on this planet besides trees and monsters, but he knew that he still had to be cautious. He did not yet know whether they were friend or foe.
The young Jedi concluded that there were likely surveying the site of the crash. But since they were not on the look-out for anyone, they were unaware that he was there. Whatever their reason was, he concluded that it was best to follow the group inconspicuously to their destination. If his feelings were right, as they have proven to always be, they would lead him out of the forest and to civilization.
