Mass Effect: The Unleashed

Prologue: A Long Time From Now, In A Galaxy Far, Far Away

Starkiller sighed. He felt that he should be happy. The Rebellion had won, Balance had been restored to the Force, The Galaxy was free from the tyranny of the Empire, all thanks to a young Jedi who had the potential to someday be as strong, perhaps even stronger than, him.

"Funny," Thought Starkiller, "I started the Rebellion, He ended it, were both Jedi, but we've never even been on the same planet until now. I should go and congratulate him, he deserves it."

Starkiller approached Darth Vader's Funeral Pyre, smirking at the sheer irony of it all. "The Empire was brought down by a Rebellion started by this man's Apprentice, and brought to fruition by his own son." Thought Starkiller as he moved towards the blond boy whose attention was captured by the fire consuming Vader's body.

"Bet that no one here ever thought that they'd be at the funeral of the 'Great Sith Lord' Darth Vader and not be spitting on his corpse." Joked Starkiller, trying to break the Ice.

Luke turned toward Starkiller, surprised by his sudden appearance. "Yeah, I guess." He said, saddened by the memory of what his father had done, how he would always be remembered as the villain.

"I remember losing my father." staring at his former masters body "Want to talk about it?"

"Sure." Answered Luke, stunned that he knew, but glad that he had someone to talk to. "What happened to him?"

"He was a Jedi, after the Empire took control of the galaxy, he fled to Kashyyk." Said Starkiller "Vader found him, and killed him."

"Is that what you came here for!" Accused Luke, angry "To make me feel worse!"

"No." Explained Starkiller calmly, "I'm here to tell you that I forgive him, and that the galaxy will forgive him someday."

Luke was floored by this, but glad to hear those words. "Thanks, I really needed to hear that."

"No problem. This war took a toll on us all."

"Who'd you lose?"

Starkiller froze at the memories. The faces of his mentor, Rham Kota, his best friend and the one who had tried to kill him repeatedly, PROXY, and his lover, Juno Eclipse, flashing through his mind. "Pretty much everything." He deadpanned, "They died during the final battle against the Death Star. Our ship was shot down by a squad of TIE fighters, The blast knocked us everywhere but I was the only one who got thrown somewhere with breathable air. I hijacked a ship to escape the explosion."

"Im sorry."

"Don't be. You didn't do anything." Said Starkiller, walking away.

"Wait!" Shouted Luke, "Who are you?"

"Your predecessor." Answered Starkiller cryptically before disappearing.

*The next day, aboard the Rouge Shadow II*

"What should I do?" Thought Starkiller, "There's nothing left for me to do. Juno's gone, Kota's gone PROXY's gone, Everyone I cared about is gone. There's nothing left for me in this Galaxy."

"Galen." whispered a familiar voice in his ear.

"Kota!" Shouted Starkiller, recognizing the voice of his Jedi mentor. "Where are you?"

"Galen. You are right, there is nothing left for you in this Galaxy." Said the etheral voice of Kota.

"Kota? Where are you?" Asked Starkiller, frantically looking around.

"Calm yourself!" Snapped the voice, now coming directly from behind him.

Starkiller whipped around, finding a shimmering image of General Rham Kota standing in the doorway to the cockpit. "Kota? What is this! I don't understand!"

"To be honest, I don't either. But I have seen a great many things, thing that you could not even begin to comprehend." Said Kota. "But I am here to warn you of something, In a galaxy far, far away, a massive war is about to break out, and if it is lost, all of sentient life in that galaxy will cease to exist."

"What does this have to do with me?" Asked Starkiller. "It's not like I can do anything about it."

"Actually, you're the only one who can." Explained Kota "You need to travel to this distant Galaxy, and give aid to the one who is fighting this menace, your assistance will be the only thing that stands between them, and total annihilation."

"It's in another galaxy!" Snapped Starkiller, "What am I supposed to do about it!"

"You have a cryo-sleep chamber on this ship, use it to hibernate until your destination is reached, as it will be a journey that will take several hundred years. Even at light speed."

"You said that it was about to break out."

"It will be about to break out when you get there. Find the one called 'Shepard' She is heading the push against the Reapers."

"Reapers?"

"All will be explained when you meet Shepard." Said Kota. "Now go. You are needed. Oh, and there are no Jedi in the galaxy you will be traveling to."

"No Jedi? What?"

"It'll all make sense when you get there." Kota reminded him. "Oh, and Juno wants me to tell you that she doesn't blame you for her death and that she wants you to move on. To find someone new."

Starkiller thought for a moment, he wanted to chew Kota out, but realized that hie mentor was right. "Okay, Tell her that I'll try."

Kota smiled and said, "I'm sure that she'd be glad to hear that. Now about your trip. It will take exactly eight-hundred and fifty years to complete..." Kota spent the next few minutes talking to Starkiller about his journey and how to get there, then bade him farewell and faded away, "May the Force be with you." Blessed his echoing voice.

Starkiller thought for a moment, wondering if he should really do this. If he really could do this.

"Well, it's not like there is anything left for me in this galaxy. Might as well see what that other galaxy has to offer."

He ran a system's check on his ship, making sure that everything was in working order. Set the auto-pilot the way Kota had told him to do, activated light-speed, and walked into the cryo-sleep chamber. He set it for eight-hundred and fifty years, then activated it, leaving behind his old life and galaxy for whatever adventure awaited him beyond Dark Space.

*End of Prologue*

Hey, Khaos here with another new fic. Jus a plot bunny that crept into my deranged mind when I saw that there were no Mass Effect/Force Unleashed Crossovers. I am not abandoning 'Tsunade Teaches the Kunoichis V2' but it won't be updated for a little while (I want to do some work on this fic).

Reviews and Ideas are appreciated. Future chapters will be longer. I prromise.
